It starred Mickey as he tried to navigate his way through a castle in order to save his beloved Minnie from the witch, Mizrabel, who was basically the witch/queen from Snow White. The first was Castle of Illusion and was released for the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1990 with a Game Gear and Master System version to follow in 1991. Developed by Sega, these games were often featured on the Genesis and Game Gear retail boxes as signature games for the consoles.

Mickey was basically a B+ video game star with his hits and misses but his best franchise was probably the Illusion series which appeared on Sega consoles. What they were was usually entertaining and pretty solid. Even though Mickey was in many games, he never did acquire the reputation of Mario or Sonic (before his reputation was ruined, anyways) and one would be hard-pressed to argue that any of his games were among the best of the era. Since then his appearances have been cut down, with the Epic Mickey franchise sort of representing a return for Mickey. As the 90’s wound along Mickey started appearing in the same game on both consoles before moving onto the newer machines. The Sega consoles featured the Illusion series while the Super Nintendo had the Magical Quest games as well as some adventure games for the NES. As was often the case back then, Mickey had a different franchise for each of the major consoles. He was always known first and foremost as the official mascot for Disney and its theme parks and for the many cartoons featuring his likeness but he was a frequent star in several video games across multiple consoles.

When I was a kid Mickey Mouse was a pretty big video game star.
