    Although I was a fan of the cartoon show I loved this game even more! This a new recording, with better video quality and few things I missed on my original play-through.
    The premise is simple: help Scrooge McDuck win enough treasures from around the globe to be crowned as Dime Magazine's duck of the year.
    From wildlife photography to spelunking, each location on the game map features a mini-game that can lead to riches untold, if only you can overcome the challenges therein.

    Thanks for posting this, particularly the end scenes where you show what happens if you get caught by the mummy or fall into a pit. As a kid I really loved playing this game, but I was too young to really figure out how the labyrinth levels worked, and was so terrified when the mummy showed up once that I could never play those levels again. Since the platform levels seemed really hard, I only ever seemed to make money taking photos and finding lucky coins. Every couple of years I've looked on RUclips to see if I could find someone with a play-through including the mummy scene of my half-remembered childhood nightmares (I played the Amiga version too), and finally someone did! Very satisfying to scratch that mental itch.

    I remember watching my classmate playing DOS version. I’ve got my first PC almost 10 years later, in 1999. Before that i was playing NES>GEN>PS1, but my classmate was always a pc user, from i286 or even earlier.
    A clearly remember this game played MUCH faster than this, to the point when it could become unplayable in some occasions due to high speed and low time to react.
    Anyway, was such a blast to see this beautiful big sprites of characters from the Show after Capcom’s Ducktales on NES (great game too, though. I would say gameplay wise NES games much better, but when you just watch how your homie play and guide him it is like watching an interactive movie)

    You have aced these annoying minigames - may your skills be praised ! As a kid I found them pretty hard. I really hated the jungle stages as everything was able to knock you down into the river ! I liked that game as a kid, but I remember punching the table while feeling powerless during some stages.

    I grew up with the C64 and eventually the DOS versions of this game. I've never seen the Amiga version before because I never had one, but damn, the graphics and presentation run circles around the other two versions (if only the framerate did too).

      I like few of the sounds from the DOS version better. The Amiga graphics are spectacular. Why is the frame rate so low?

      @ImTheKingOfHyrule 11 месяцев назад

      @@valeriojackable Probably they did a very poor job optimizing the scrolling. I'm guessing the environment is basically a bitmap which is why it looks so pretty, but it has to be reloaded into memory every time the screen moves, which makes it horrificly slow.

    Holy shit, I remember this game... It's so damn complicated and difficult, I have no idea what they were thinking considering the target audience is obviously going to be kids. Trading stocks? Lots of fiddly little things in completely different modes you'd have to read the entire manual pretty much cover to cover to understand? I don't think I ever successfully completed a single level of this game as a kid.
    I also never understood the diving into the vault thing. You didn't earn that money during the time limit, that's all money you already have! Like yeah, he discovered some coin he thought was just normal change turned out to be something rare, but it was still something he owned before the contest started!
    The thing I definitely remember most about this game though is that the maze levels scared the piss out of me as a kid. I think I only ever played them like twice and both times I'm pretty sure I closed the game before I could finish it or get caught by the mummy, haha.
    Thanks for the memories. I really dig this channel!

      ​@@AL82RetrogamingLongplays The game does run a lot faster on Amiga 1200 and it also helps to play in NTSC instead of PAL. On a Amiga 4000 the game runs almost a bit too fast, especially the flying part, but yeah had they used the hardware instead of relying everything on the CPU it didn't have to be slow on a 500.
