I had this game on the Amiga when I was very young and I have so many amazing memories of playing this. The visuals were awesome, and the mini games were fun and non-repetitive. Such a great game!

Give me give me!!! A collection form the past. it as so much of my childhood graved on it. In this game, you must collect as many tresaures that you can, and letting Scroge Mcduck take a nosedive in his mountain of money. what is not to love? Played it when I was sick when I was a small kid, with my mother. Disney should make a remake... just saying. time to play your cards right GOG and give them this idea. ;) you are welcome! ps. If remaking this game, consider the versions. DOS and Amiga. look at the quality colors and sounds. love this game!

So many great memories playing this game. The platforming stages with Donald's Nephews were sometimes very tricky and the cave game was always scary for me as a kid because the mummy could jumpscare you. xD

The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night
The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal NightThe Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night is a 3D action platformer which takes place right after the events at the end of The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. Players control Spyro as he searches for his friend Cynder. Initially, he has lost all of his different breath powers from the first game, but he gradually recovers the ability to breathe fire, ice, earth and electricity. New to this game is the ability for Spyro to slow down time using his newly-learned 'Dragon Time' ability. While the game has some basic puzzles involving pressing switches, the main focus is still around fighting. Spryo's primary attack is his headbutt, but he can also use his assorted breaths to defeat foes provided that he has enough magic power. He also earns blue gems from defeating foes which will allow him to level up his powers.
