In this game, Scrooge McDuck has to travel around the world and collect treasures in order to become the world's richest duck. The game was later ported to Game Boy. A completely different game was also released as DuckTales for a variety of personal computers in the early 1990s; that game is properly known as DuckTales: The Quest for Gold.
DuckTales is often a subject of NES-related nostalgia, and was generally popular and addictive. The game provides a good example of the work produced by Capcom in the late 1980s and early 1990s, along with such titles as those in the Mega Man franchise. Duck Tales has much in common with the Mega Man games: catchy music, bright and colorful graphics, tight play control with interesting gameplay dynamics (such as using Scrooge's cane as a weapon, tool, and pogo stick), and non-linear gameplay.
Sequels and alternate versions
A sequel, DuckTales 2, followed in 1993. However, it didn't match the success of its predecessor or the popularity, as by that time, consumers were changing focus to the Super NES. Many dedicated NES players of the 1980s and early 1990s were not even aware there was a sequel to DuckTales.
DuckTales was also known as La Bande à Picsou in the French NES version, after the popular TV program of the same name (the French version of the DuckTales cartoon). The Japanese Famicom release of the game was titled Wanpaku Duck Yume Bouken (literally "Naughty Ducks' Dream Adventure").
DuckTales was later ported to the original Game Boy. That version features the same gameplay, music and levels, though due to the difference in technology, the sound and graphics are different. The layouts of the levels were also changed slightly, due to the lower screen resolution.
