About Disney's TaleSpin
TaleSpin is a game based on the television series of the same name, released for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive in 1991 and 1992. There's also a Game Gear port which is identical to the Genesis version. The game was a one player and two player game. In single player mode you could choose between playing as Baloo or Kit, whereas in two player mode, the first player was Baloo and the second player was Kit. Each character had his own form of defense, Baloo had a paddle ball with very short range while Kit had a slingshot with very long range. It consisted of many stages with three different versions: Around the World: Strolling through each stage collecting ten or more boxes of cargo to unlock the main exit. Airport: The Boss stages where you face Don Karnage and his air pirate henchmen. Air Battle: You take to the air with Baloo attacking from the Sea Duck or Kit on his airfoil firing his catapult.

“Never judge a cart by its cover. No real challenge to be found here, but it’s well suited to the younger games plaer.”
“Interesting idea for a two player platform game... ...which doesn't work. As soon as the different characters start to move apart on the screen things get a bit screwy. The action isn't particularly exciting anyway and the graphics are rougher than you'd expect from a Disney game.”
