Mickey Mouse Game Reviews

The animated short Steamboat Willie debuted on November 18, 1928 and so this day is considered Mickey Mouse's birthday. I scanned a variety of game reviews starring Disney's famous anthropomorphic mouse from issues of GamePro, Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM), Video Games & Computer Entertainment (VG&CE), and Sega Visions. Mickey has been featured in quite a few games so I opted not to include the "Illusion" series this time around as that would have been another 19 pages. Below you'll find coverage of Mickey's Dangerous Chase, Mickey Mousecapade, The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse, Mickey's Challenge, Mickey Mania, and Fantasia. Surprisingly, I only found a single review of Fantasia which comes from Sega Visions, and that magazine's reviews at that time were primarily descriptions with a little opinion at the end. Also, the EGM "Review Crew" for Mickey's Dangerous Chase is the same group of writers I attached to Magical Quest while Mickey Mania is the same as the writers for Mickey's Challenge.
