6 magical Disney games to get you in the mood for Disney Plus

Castle of Illusion

Joining the likes of older NES and SNES games on this list is Castle of Illusion from 1990. As one of the oldest games on this list, you may be happy to hear that replaying this Disney gem is easier than you might think, as a revamped version was released in 2013 to playforms like Steam.

Looking at Castle of Illusion today, we feel it’s an interesting platformer that, while straightforward enough, offers some unique properties in terms of story and gameplay mechanics that help it stand out. Controlling Mickey Mouse, you’ll need to explore the Castle of Illusion, collect the Seven Gems of the Rainbow, and ultimately rescue Minnie Mouse from Mizrabel.

The concept of a witch looking to steal youth from Minnie reminds us of Hocus Pocus (which will be available on Disney Plus), while the castle exploration has become a treasured staple in side-scroller games. The enemies are unique, the levels stand out, and in general, Castle of Illusion is just a great game.
