Play Duck Tales (Europe) on gb Online

DuckTales for the Game Boy came out in 1990, developed by Capcom. It was part of that wave of licensed games that actually tried to be good, not just cash-ins. On the small screen, it held up surprisingly well, with clear graphics and responsive controls that made it a solid portable experience for its time.

You control Scrooge McDuck, using his cane to pogo jump on enemies and bounce across gaps. The goal is to travel to different stages, like the Amazon or Transylvania, collecting treasure and eventually facing off against bosses. Key mechanics include using the pogo cane to access high platforms, hitting certain objects to reveal hidden items, and choosing your stage order. The game moves at a quick pace, and some sections demand precise jumps, but it never feels unfair. It's satisfying to master the bounce and clean out each stage of its riches.
