I'm 47 and I was there from the beginning and I still play this game from time to time 🙏🏽

[@chrisd6287]

Obviously im partial here, but i really dont think there was a more nostalgic era than the mid 80s to late 90s. Just all the amazing toys, games, commercials etc. I feel like compared to other eras this one is seriously cranked to 11! I know nostalgia is a personal thing but i really do feel that as 80s, 90s kids we connect to it so deeply because of how iconic the marketing, art work, tunes etc. really were. It was really the first time it was all so "in your face" and loud. Not sure if this makes sense but anyways, i love all these vids on G3. I come back to watch these vids from time to time bc they really epitomize that feeling of nostalgia in me.

[@Mugen0445]

This is my favourite NES game. The Moon theme is the most unforgettable track for me during the NES era.

[@bigjermboktown6976]

Hell yeah it's one of my favorite games! It's honestly probably the game I remember most

[@mikesanchez7358]

I used to love that game and I have the remastered version for the PS3. Crazy how much more challenging those games were than the modern ones today are.

[@chrispacheco8590]

Duck Tales was and is an absolute must have for ANYBODY collecting NES carts, I remember back when it was new borrowing it and liking the game but not putting much thought into how good it actually is, it was just one of those highly playable games that simply existed, but over time it's aged quite well.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Couldn't have said it better myself Chris!

[@chrispacheco8590]

By the way totally enjoy your content, very high quality, well put together, very entertaining, and just charming as heck and a real joy to watch, brings me back in the most awesome way, appreciate your hard work, and passion!..Thank you👍

[@liz00max]

My husband and I are playing Ducktales, and we’re discussing about the hidden objects and endings. So many memories, cos we had the opportunity to play this in our childhood. Thanks.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

You are so welcome. Glad you get to play together. Very awesome.

[@Massenstein]

When I was a kid we bought this game used like we did with all the games, and like many it did not come with instructions. So it felt like the most unfairly difficult game ever until we figured out how to do the pogo jump!! After figuring that out it became one of our favourite games for a good reason.

[@harmannickolas]

This and chip n dale rescue rangers are my number 1 all time favorite games. Also I didn't know about the select tip, thank you so much for that tip.

[@SuperLuigiGuy64]

Ducktales woo-ooo! 😩 90s kid here, I love Ducktales!

[@altohippiegabber]

80s kid here, but i also loved me some Ducktales woo-ooo!

[@Podcastforthewin]

Born in 82 and loved me some duck tales growing up!

[@rawhydemusic8620]

Might solve a mystery Or rewrite history

[@robertxhacker]

Born in 1984. Beat this game over 50x. Loved it so much

[@MichaelBurrow]

I didn't know this game had three different endings!!! Crazy.

[@baltimorez-wad7281]

Loved this game & TV show. As far as themes go, not many cartoons could beat Duck Tales. One the the first NES games I beat as a kid. Knew about 80% of these secrets back then in the early 90's as a kid and had none of the magazines

[@stonetooth2506]

Never knew about the buying health trick or the $0 ending. Great video, thanks!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

You're welcome man. Those secrets surprised me too!

[@ScumsaveChris]

Same.

[@findantu]

wow

[@venvon6433]

I feel sorry for my kids because they have to hear me tell them how unlucky they are to not have lived during the 80’s. Dad Card Obtained!!!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

You sound like me dude 😂

[@ecmyersvids]

On the other hand, they get the new DuckTales cartoon, which is pretty great too.

[@albertfrias3160]

I fill you brother I shoud my kids thay love the old duck tales and the games mr mc duck ms biggly lol I miss thos days

[@djm2373]

I was born in 1980. I have 5 kids tell them the same thing. Nothing really defines these new generations. 80s and 90s man classic times.

[@natewilson111]

Hearing the Disney Afternoon theme music come on at 3pm every weekday was the best thing ever!

[@retrobution1262]

Just finished watching Ducktales with my daughters who are 2 and 5 years old. They wanna play the NES games now! Great nostalgia trip, and some nice tips to boot

[@raynavillus4927]

At 15:07, I always got a kick out of getting Scrooge stuck in the snow, he looks like an old Donald Duck!]XD

[@BatmanBoss]

Some of the greatest video game music ever. The Moon 🌙 so epic

[@Red_Lanterns_Rage]

that's my biggest memory of the game and the pogo attack..... hel the moon theme tops a lot of game music today, it don't matter that it's 8bit it sounds great.....as do many NES games scores...

[@BatmanBoss]

@@Red_Lanterns_Rage totally agree. I still listen to the Megaman music sometimes when I workout. Gets me fired up lol

[@brentmoentmann]

Even though I've watched you sporadically for almost 2 year's,I just now subbed you. You content is unwavering and never fails to take me back to that golden age of between 8-14, when friends, skateboarding,and Nintendo meant everything to all us kids in the neighborhood. A very simple, worry free time in every kid's life where tons of possibility lay before you; before WORK and reality set in... Thanks a million!!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Wow Brent! That means a lot to me. I really appreciate you taking time to share that. Glad we have earned your trust!

[@gwgux]

This was a trip down memory lane for me. I was also born in 82 and I remember watching Ducktales everyday after followed by Rescue Rangers. I played this game A LOT when I was a kid. One of my favorite NES games of all time! The Moon theme was epic, but when I was a kid I liked the Transylvania theme more. It wasn't until I got older that I appreciated the moon stage music for what it was more.

[@daemian2k]

This, Rescue Rangers, Castle of Illusion, and Aladdin are my all time favorite Disney based games

[@parrishharris3008]

I'm over 40 & i remember me & my brother watching this cartoon & beating this game - great video game review.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks so much. I'll be 37 in a few months!

[@BernardoLMdeBem]

I used to play this game when I was 6 years old, in 1991. The first game I've ever completed. Thank you for bringing back this memories

[@ElliotMcDonell]

That game really holds up well. Music, graphics, and gameplay! Pretty cool a childhood friend I used to play it with went on to work at WayForward on the remake!

[@jonnymitchell7664]

I absolutely loved this game when I was a kid. it actually was the first video game I was able to beat on my own without any help from my older sister. it was one of my proudest moments as a youth. thanks for the video! see ya next time!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

You are welcome Jonny. Thanks for sharing your story. So your sister is a gamer too? Very cool.

[@jonnymitchell7664]

@@GenerationGapGaming she was just a wonderful big sister. she saw her little brother getting upset with something and she fixed it. getting very good at the games in the process, haha!

[@djm2373]

Dude classic brother. One of best games ever on NeS. So many memories of child hood have come back since I found your Chanel

[@ArenClegg]

yep, we'd have cartoons after school and saturday mornings. Yep, this was a very good and fun game too.

[@Bshipbuilder]

Watching Duck Tales was the best part of every weekday.

[@Tim85-y2q]

My mom bought me this game in the (quasi) local Capcom store in the mall as a kid. Afterward, we went to my cousin's house so I could play it. Of the small handful of NES games I actually owned as a kid, this was absolutely a favorite.

[@mikeydavis6033]

I am so glad this channel popped up one day...I have been loving it! This episode hit home. I have always loved this game! Also, loved the old WWF reference with Ted DiBiase!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks Mikey! You will come to find that I love me some old school wrestling lol.

[@chrisoliver5302]

We definitely grew up at the same time (born 80) ! I LOVE this game and pretty much watched every episode after school. Another great video, sir!

[@joshuapratt1572]

A cornerstone my childhood!! One of the greatest NES games EVER made!!

[@bradleyguy3054]

Your videos are so nastalgic. Yes the 80's were the best era for games along with music and movies too. Thank you for many AWESOME videos!! Please keep them coming.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts on the videos. Inspires me to make better videos👊✌️

[@keitha.9922]

Thanks for sharing all these Tyler. Brings back all childhood memories of me in the 80s. I grew up playing the NES

[@phobod1]

This series is awesome....so thorough and full of great info. Your channel is gunna blow up soon. You got a new subscriber in me. Great stuff Tyler

[@Patrick-pk4kj]

We have the same birthday brother! The DuckTales cartoon will always have a special place in my heart.

[@ThaTitanSpartan]

Tyler, the 80s was awesome I'm happy for guys like you and many other content creators on KZbin. Keep up the good work.

[@brendanmoran397]

Ducktales was my ABSOLUTE favorite! UNBELIEVABLE gameplay, so fun!

[@Villordsutch]

I never got to see the end of Duck Tales. Brilliant to see what was squirreled away within this classic. Thanks for the video

[@DrJekyll38]

Why'd you have to describe Scrooge McDuck as greedy? Anyone who watched the show back in the 80's knows that Money isn't as important to Scrooge as his family, and his passion other than business is adventure, hence the treasure hunting. Sure, he's competitive by nature, but that's what drives him to be adventurous, and the show's fans loved that about Scrooge!

[@TheAbsoluteJay]

Absolutely one of my favorite games, this one and its sequel. Nothing like an afternoon pogo-ing through those games.

[@them-aasaaron6440]

This is when Disney was awesome. Now look at what they have done to beloved franchises like Star Wars, etc. Cool vid, man. I definitely played this game allot and watched the cartoon.

[@NESComplex]

Excellent secrets and history and tips and facts!!! So much I never knew!

[@Dikwili]

Now yor par of th squat!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Lots of great trivia to share about this gem. I had a blast researching it. Loved that new Ninja Gaiden video of yours!

[@7thangelad586]

The Capcom and Disney marriage was almost as flawless as the Capcom and Zelda one that started on the GBC. Great video as usual, Tyler! Our home antenna wouldn’t even pick up the channel that aired Ducktales! 😆

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks man! Capcom knew how to stay true to a licensed product, but still make a quality game players would enjoy.

[@dotanugingaming233]

I got my copy at a garage sale for 1 dollar, the cartridge shell was busted and most of the label was gone. The circuit board was fine though and I played it so much. Still one of the best nes games ever.

[@Craxin01]

Man, I LOVED this game as a kid! Awesome game. The HD Remaster is pretty good too.

[@tideguychandler1733]

Brother I love your videos, every time I watch them they take back to the 80s and 90s. Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@chadharris6912]

Your videos and reviews on old NES games are always so thorough and well done!!!! Some of the best I've seen!! And i appreciate the hard work you put into them!!!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Chad that means a lot to me sir. I do try my best to bring you quality content. Your comment really helps push me forward.

[@Bratty-Bonnie]

Bro your videos are so well done and professional. It’s very impressive. I’m not some asshole that subscribes to every single KZbin channel, I’m very particular about my subscriptions. It’s really irritating that majority of game reviewers try to use cheap or childish humor to become popular. You’re a no nonsense dude and you do your research very well. Your work defiantly earned my sub. It’s very humbling to learn something new about a game I think I know everything about. I don’t give compliments often bro but when I do I’m sincere. Your Hardwork has not gone unnoticed. carry-on good sir. Oh by the way I love the Subtle 80s wrestling references.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks so much for taking time to share that here man. Thanks for subscribing too. Much respect dude👊

[@exception360]

80/90's was best time for gamers like me imo... There were lot's of magazines (remember, there was no internet for most people, we used BBS's). It was a big fun to go to the stores searching trough all those game packages displayed and even play games on the NES/GB/Mega Drive store displays. Most stores I remember had a huge (and I mean huge, HUGE *HUGE*) section dedicated to Nintendo/Sega stuff. Nowadays it's just a few boxes thrown in a corner... Men, those days before I went to school there was the Super Mario Super Show on TV, every friday evening a game-related show on TV with tips/trics, reviews, news etc... Yeah, sometimes I just miss those days...

[@MUMSUniverse]

I had this game as a kid. It was so much fun. As for the cartoon DuckTails & the Disney Afternoon, always the best part of the day. 📺😊

[@rawhydemusic8620]

Oh man, this is so awesome! I loved this game. I just had a great flashback watching this game being played. Thank you for this amazing video

[@olegariolopez5220]

This is so awesome! Brings back memories from the 80’s! Loved this game!

[@thisguy6983]

this was awesome. I use to watch this with a buddy who has a TY channel who told me to check you out. So happy I did

[@Loki1620]

So much nostalgia for this 37 year old!!!

[@TheMarkcu24]

top 5 game for me. played and replayed it over and over and over. great time to be a kid.

[@EastsideShowSCP]

DuckTales NES is always one of the best games I ever played on that system :D

[@GenerationGapGaming]

It was masterfully developed. Tight controls and very true to the cartoon.

[@MtgVGandBGFan]

I loved playing Ducktales when I was younger. The music for the Moon stage is some of the best Capcom ever put out, and Ducktales Remastered only upped the quality with a newer, more enhanced version. Definitely makes me think of simpler times...

[@GenerationGapGaming]

I like the Moon music the best also!👊

[@MyRetroLife]

Such a beautifully edited video! The passion for Duck Tales shines through. I never knew about the $0 ending!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

You're the man Tyler. Really thankful for your stamp of approval.

[@djserious9341]

This was one of my favorite games as a child. I must have played though this at least 50 times.

[@cubanref9670]

The feels man..I remember my old man purchasing this for me. A classic.

[@puresugah]

This game was a huge part of my childhood. It was one of the first games I completely mastered.

[@JamieKitchens6]

This is one of the best NES games ever made. I got this on my 7th birthday.

[@ther1rida]

Capcom nailed this game wide open! It was insanely popular.

[@TheFitnessTutor]

Nailed ….wide open ….??? Ok

[@bimmyfrizzo3988]

I remember my dad bought this game for me and my sister along with the guerilla war nes game at the flea market. One of my happiest childhood memories. Now as an adult I have this on PC emulators and a lot more to relive my child hood.

[@athanasiospetsas9367]

Woooow! Thanks for the video! This is one of the first games I've ever played (I think the first time was in 1993). A friend of mine had it! This is a gem (like the ones you are collecting in the game :P) I didn't know about all those secrets! Woow! Thanks!! I'm filled of nostalgia right now! Glad that I found your channel!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Glad to have you here man. Welcome to G3!

[@jamesg8199]

This game is my favorite of the NES games. Ducktales 2 is an awesome sequel as well.

[@adamparr6464]

Luv DUCKTALES both original & the reboot. That theme song is awesome to this day.

[@kaylemathewcomendador7614]

That game is such a classic that it got referenced in 2017 Ducktales series. Really should try it someday.

[@christopherwolfe6656]

Born in 83, and I remember being in preschool drawing the money bin building! Although I never played the game, but hell it’s CAPCOM (makers of friggin Megaman) so it can’t be bad. Right??

[@PragmatikReviews]

A lot of stuff I didnt know about this, but I cant say I spent a major amount of time on duck tales. Your video is as gripping as ever. good work my man!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks so much man!

[@Marc_Araujo]

Still the best DuckTales guide on the internet. Hey Tyler, I hope you and your family are doing alright.

[@jeroenboth167]

I love the fact that you mentioned the possible reference to the King Of Pop 👑

[@karemare6426]

how can you not say a single word about one of the best NES soundtracks ever..? :)

[@powerpup97]

This was one of the games I got with my NES when I got it for Christmas along with Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt! I guess I should consider myself lucky to have started out with one of the most iconic games on the NES!

[@aaron71]

In my top 5 for all time favorite games. So many memories playing this for hours! You showed me a couple things I never knew, and I came into this thinking I knew it all. You got a sub, can't wait for more like this!

[@armand4116]

One of my favorite nes games, top ten in my personal list. Capcom made great Disney games during the 8 bits and 16 bits era. Love your channel .

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Cesar thank you so much 👊!

[@silleywilley]

Why is your channel so awesome? I was born in 1980, so you know I dig all this stuff. Keep up the awesomeness my friend 👌

[@silleywilley]

Al Capawn all true! I am trying to show my kids all of the things I experienced so they will at least understand some of it, if not enjoy it too!

[@LindaTheGAMERGal]

I love DuckTales and now I have the theme song stuck in my head and I am not mad about that. Great video!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks Linda! That song is infectious lol

[@General_X]

Not just the gameplay on this classic, but the music! This game was as close to max volume as my folks would let me get away with, especially on the Moon lol. I actually still have that theme on my iPhone today and still enjoy listening to it.

[@ptbunz2501]

Ah! Love the Legends of the Hidden Temple reference, another good vid G3!

[@PatrickM-dm6sf]

I loved the remake on the Wii U, it introduced the series to my children

[@Filmbuff1979]

Just discovered your channel yesterday. It’s awesome

[@Neo2000gaming]

I speed run this game and there is a nice clipping glitch in the moon level to skip most of the moon stage. You can clip through the green wall all the way to the right one of the kids is standing on. Makes the level much more painless. Also when you come straight down on a pogo with no lateral movement at all you can not be hit. Makes some of the bosses easier and can allow for double hits on Dracula Duck before he cycles. I love this game it’s one of my favorites.

[@mikepotter708]

I happened to watch this today on Sept. 14. Happy Birthday, man!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks Mike!

[@richardsteiner9843]

Same here have the happiest of birthmas on this day

[@drvnucrzy]

This game brings back some memories and a lot of long lost friends!

[@panelvixen]

I'd love to see Ducktales' graphics and music included with Mega Man Maker.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Interesting!!

[@Red_Lanterns_Rage]

you could always just do mega man-ized levels based on Duck Tales....minus the music....eh

[@kevintesar6748]

Couldn't agree more. For me, the cane/pogo stick is the most memorable part of the game. It's so funny.. Though I was a kid and didn't know about pogoing to kill enemies, even then I could still tell that the game was better than a lot of other games. There's a style and flair that's almost intangible about it, yet it's there. Extremely surprising as it's a rendition of an already well-established tv show. As mentioned in the vid, that was very rare, especially back then. As you may imagine, the game opened up to me once I found out about pogoing and pushing the directional pad towards the object that you want to hit before hitting B.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks Kevin. Really enjoyed reading your thoughts here. I can totally relate to the first time playing and wondering why nothing happened when I just tapped the B button lol.

[@yelah05]

Great video as always! And yes definitely remember that feeling of duck tales theme song, just edges out tale spin as my favorite as a kid!!!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it. I still can smell that warm bowl of Spaghettios when I would watch DuckTales back in the day lol

[@Decoder2040]

You make the best videos on retro games, by far. Thank you.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks so much Joel. I don't feel I make the best, but I try to bring you quality content for sure.

[@fernfernacelli]

Not sure this was ‘iconic’, per se… but DEFINITELY known (at least, by the social/gamer circle I was in), and definitely VERY well liked! Such a blast to play… Another awesome video - I LOVE this series. Thanks, as always! (…and, in a few days, Happy Anniversary NES DuckTales, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, good Sir!) 🎉🎉🎉🎉 \m/, 😊 ,\m/

[@AFFL1CTED1]

Fantastic video. Really enjoyed it. Might I suggest, though, that you make the strategy\tips portion a separate video? I found it to be out of place and just skipped to the end... Just a friendly suggestion. Thanks again for the quality content.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

And I really appreciate the feedback. I hear ya 100%. I have struggled with whether to leave the tips/tutorial sections out of the secrets and history, but I tend to include them if I can still make the video flow well. I totally get where you're coming from though. It's a valid suggestion. Thanks.

[@mikeyfaulkner6313]

My inner child is jumping up and down on the couch. Great video man.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks Mikey 👊

[@Hetkanookanders]

90,s where the best! The music, movies ,games, fashion and no smartphones. Thanks for sharing your passion for this game! (Does those secrets works with the game boy version?)

[@GenerationGapGaming]

I'm not sure if they work for the Gameboy version. Let me know if anyone figures it out.

[@susanfit47]

I was born in 86 I watched DuckTales on TV all the time. I had an Nintendo NES, but I didn't own this game. I would've had this game a long time, like the 90's, 2000's, 2010's, 2020's, and now.

[@Dee-Eddy]

Great video! One of my favorite games. Something that I thought you might find interesting: Scrooge only can pogo attack if his sprite is moving down. If you are moving down and left or right, you will hit the enemy and also Scrooge will take damage but if you are moving only down, Scrooge takes no damage. That helps hit magica because you can jump in front of her and have her hit Scrooge as he is traveling downward. It also let's you get Dracula a lot faster than waiting for the bat.

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Oh wow Daniel I did not know that man! That's huge. Thanks so much!👊

[@Dee-Eddy]

Speedrun strats FTW

[@P1983sche]

This game is great and the cartoon was as well. Nice video as always. Crazy zero ending! Never knew this!

[@GenerationGapGaming]

Thanks dude. Yeah that zero ending it crazy tough to do in my opinion. Such a cool but obscure inclusion in the game for sure.

[@jaymorrison2419]

I LOVE THIS GAME. Id solidly put this in the very top of the musical scores from the 8 bit era.

[@evilsdemise1287]

I'm so glad I spent any money I could get my hands on as a kid on renting games from the local video store or I wouldn't have all these great memories of all these games.

[@MrSin287]

I absoultly love this channel man it brings me back to the good ol days
