It's pretty hard to convey just how magical Castle of Illusion felt at the time. You could just feel the quality oozing out of it.

It's a crime this channel isn't more popular. You deserve 1 Million subs with content this good.

These series are really the best, game documentary shorts out there.

Amazing! In my opinion, the Japanese teams handled the Disney franchises better than the western ones. Just take a look at the games mentioned and those made by Capcom in this era (Magical Quest series, Goof Troop etc). Great video as always, Strafefox! Made my day.

Do you hate the Western ones wiht a burning passion?

"Another strict rule was that Mickey was not allowed to die..." 17 years after and Disney allows JunctionPoint to have him quite disturbing desolve into a puddle of ink when he loses all this health in Epic Mickey.

Many tears of joy were shed while watching this. Thank you for the beautiful trip down memory lane.

Thanks for posting this. This is one of the greatest and most beautifully crafted "making of" videos I've ever watched. I grew up playing World of Illusion - this game means a lot to me and brings back great memories. Keep making more of these videos!

This channel offers the best reviews you can ever find in the whole KZread , the narrator's vocal tone and script is more than satisfying. This channel has always been about production value.

Mindblowing. The production values and the amount of information provided is top class

I grew up with these. The Illusion games were some of the first games I ever played! And I still go back and revisit them every few years. World of Illusion, Castle of Illusion, Land of Illusion, and Deep Duck Trouble are right up there with Sonic in my early gaming memories.

These videos are so, so important in highlighting the relevance of forgotten franchises. With Nintendo practically owning the monopoly on the image of nostalgic interactive fun from way back when, some of the underrated classics that were hugely entertaining and remain so today deserve recognition.

What a f'n homerun of a video. As artistic, creative, and polished as the games it was covering. Wonderful work.

72K subs? I'm glad KZread somehow knows how to recommended me underrated content that I actually enjoy; amazing production value fam!

Castle of illusion is pure magic. the first successful experiment in an interactive fairy tale. we are talking about a real killer application of the mega drive. true classic. has a special place in my heart as a gamer. Thanks for this neat video as always❤

Your videos feel like Christmas to me. I love when they appear on my feed! Cant wait to watch.

Welcome back to the best channel on KZread... work ethic, knowledge, and care is so apparent in every single video. Love your channel man, thank you!!!

Literally came to your channel yesterday and was like "But it's been 2 months. Why are there no new videos!?" And here we are. As long as you keep putting out quality like this, you can take all the time you need.

I love this series. These three games are treasured childhood memories for me, so it's a treat to see them all in one video!

Thanks for paying respect to my youth in such a great and informative way!

I clicked because of Quackshot . Hugely underrated game. Can we talk about the amazing music?

Land of the Illusion on sms is one of my favourite game of all time. Glad to see someone talking about the illusion series!

Great video as always. I loved the Illusion series as a kid. I was only 5 years old when Castle of Illusion released in 1990. I remember playing the Master System version and loving it. I didn't get a Mega Drive till 1993/1994 when I was about 8. I had no idea until then that there was a version for the Mega Drive. When I played it, I was amazed at how different the two games were built at the same time felt exactly the same. I later found out about both Quackshot and World of Illusion and put them on my Christmas list. I remember having an awesome Christmas that year when I got those 2 games. I sat in front of that TV and played them both all day long. If you were strictly a Nintendo kid back then and nothing could sway you to the Mega Drive/Genesis then there was a very good chance that by playing this series of games would've made you want one.

Serious kudos to Emiko Yamamoto for making one of the best games on the Genesis, her first one too! What a great video!

I grew up with all 3 of these games, as well as Fantasia, and thought this would be an interesting watch, but my goodness, I didn't expect they'd get such an amazing amount of animation effort thrown in there with them. Wow.

Those games were a very important part of my childhood and during this video I couldn't help myself but smiling and remembering those beautiful moments that I had. Thank you so much

Man. How have I not found this channel until now? I'm also an animator (though I have none on youtube) And I'm blown away by the love you pack in these videos. And your love for Nintendo. Thanks for taking the time to nudge those keyframes for viewers' eyes like mine.

When I first saw this video, the 3D effects were insane. Those are amazing little animations that still blow my mind to this very day.

this is so high quality it puts real tvproduction studios to shame. Thank you for you hard work and I'm so blessed to be able to binge on all your series during quarentine.

I'd really like to see a "Making of a Strafefox video". You put soo much effort into 3d modeling backgrounds which only display for a matter of seconds in a video. And that's just one speck of the work you do. A "making of" video could really help us understand exactly how much work is poured into each one of your wonderful videos. You deserve a few million subscribers with how much you devote yourself(yourselves?) to this channel. I really love the work you do.

I'm so glad you took my advice and started a patreon. You are still. CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. I hope I get as big as you are and can help you grow someday.

First time in my life I liked a video before actually seeing it. The quality of your video is absolutely awesome. I hope someday you'll be rewarded for this quality content. My favorite channel of YT, by far.

A superb mini (Minnie?) documentary! I grew up with these games, and learning about them in this level of depth is not only nostalgic and enlightening, but kind of heartwarming too. Thank you for this!

World of Illusion was my favorite, by far. That game had a special place in my childhood.

Amazing video!! I recall being blown away by world of illusion presentation back then. It was like being in a Disney movie

That was a real trip down memory lane. I have both Quackshot and World of Illusion and they were both impressive games. Your inclusion of Sega Power magazine reviews just adds to the nostalgia. Thanks, I really enjoyed learning more about these games.

Wow...this video was a blast to the past. These games are my childhood. Loved them and they still hold up today.

Awesome! Thanks so much! Yes I have a background in graphic design and have been working in Multi-media for almost 20 years. I usually take 3 months for each episode and try to do a little bit each day.

I can't thank you enough for this video, I grew up with Fantasia and Quackshot, and now knowing the history behind them makes me so happy. What I enjoyed about those two games, besides mickey and donald plus the overall magic feeling of old disney, was that [for a young kid] they were pretty hard games. Fantasia was a very hard game for me because of the mentioned clunky controls and sometimes off hitboxes, and quackshot added an extra layer of complexity by being a "metroidvania-esque" game but also having text on it, since my language isn't english and the game didn't had options for my language, so figuring out what to do blindly was so entertaining to me. To this day I pretty much think about both of those games all the time, they've inspired me in a way or another, so knowing those two games are related in a way gives me happiness.
