Duck Tales (Europe) is the classic platformer developed by Capcom for the NES, following Scrooge McDuck on a globe-trotting quest to collect treasure and outwit his rival, Flintheart Glomgold. Known for its tight controls, non-linear level selection, and an unforgettable soundtrack, it remains one of the most beloved titles on the console.
How to play
Navigate through levels like the Amazon, Transylvania, and the Moon. Use the D-pad to move and the A button to jump. The core mechanic is Scrooge’s pogo jump: while in the air, hold Down and B to bounce on your cane. This lets you defeat enemies, reach high platforms, and safely cross spikes. In the browser, use the arrow keys to move, X for the A button, and Z for the B button. Press Enter to start.
Tips
Mastering the pogo jump is essential, as many hidden treasures and extra lives are located above the visible screen. When exploring the Transylvania level, try walking into seemingly solid wallsโmany are illusions that hide secret paths and valuable diamonds.
