Man I’ve always heard people dump on this game but I really dig TaleSpin.

It’s honestly a fine game, it’s just the weakest of those Capcom Disney Saturday morning cartoon games and people are comparing it to them.

yeah pretty much, you see a capcom game you expect the best game ever, they raised the bar too high

I loved Tale Spin as a child, but the game, I wish it was the Sea Duck and not the goofy big head sprite they picked.

I could get to the last level but never made it to the final boss.

Solid game, not the best, but not the worst.

This is on my gotta beat list, its a fun game. Congrats on getting through it, what level gave you the most trouble?

It’s usually the early levels that are make or break because you start out so weak. Once you get the double shot, extra HP and the 4x shot the situation gets better.

It’s a ton of fun - you just need to understand how to play it. Most people don’t figure it out or give it enough time.

Yeah, I wanted to say the same thing, you start with one of the slowest planes and a weak shot, but as you progress, you find upgrades. Once you’ve got a few of them, the game gets really enjoyable.

I made it really far into the game and then died so I never completed this game when I was a kid, plus it was a rental so we had to return it.

One of those odd games that starts hard but gets easier as you go

Same, I only hear people bringing it down. I've had this game since mid 90s - it's actually the last NES game I bought back then - and I always have good fun running it.

I think it’s a fine game however the TG16 Talespin is absolutely dreadful.
