A charming Disney platformer that a contemporary magazine called superb, and one of the pricier European carts.

Deep Duck Trouble Starring Donald Duck was developed by Aspect and published by Sega, reaching Europe in January 1994 on the Master System. Donald sets out to save his uncle from a curse that makes him inflate like a balloon, across five linear side-scrolling levels, each split into two parts, with a treasure waiting at the end.

Sega Magazine found the platforming superb, if not very difficult, and rated the Master System and Game Gear versions about the same. Its mechanics will feel familiar if you have played other licensed Disney platformers of the era.

Before you buy

The European cart is the one to buy. Loose, it is one of the pricier European-only carts, though still a low-risk one. Check for the manual on a complete copy.
