Retro Games

Disney Golden Years Games

Ah, sweet were the times when kids rushed to Disney Channel to play as one of Disney icons, instead of rushing objectives in modern shooters. The early 2000s were times when the Internet was still gaining the trust of homeowners, and very few games made their way to the world wide web. Those that did undoubtedly stunned its players with a nostalgic thrill, bringing up memories of the times when Lizzie McGuire was skipping classes, and the boy band Jonas Brothers rocked from every TV set. Indeed, these Disney Retro Games set in an old-school environment, where Timon and Pumbaa are still hunting for bugs and Peter Pan never grows old.

When computer gaming was in its early stages, finding a Disney game online was like finding a long-lost treasure. Being able to fly on Aladdin’s magic carpet, or sneak into Captain’s Hook camp to save Wendy right from your desktop captured minds of the young TV audience of the Disney Channel. At that time something important was happening. The TV viewers, teenagers mainly, were becoming players. Characters that were once drawn by hand reborn on the desktop, offering players interaction, customizability, thus leaving room for player’s fantasy. All these Old Disney Channel Games gather together classic Disney characters such as Goofy, Tarzan, Totally Spies and teenage idols like Lizzie McGuire and Miranda. To this day they still attract players from around the world. Dive into the world of retro Disney characters and rediscover your childhood.

Childhood memories

For a kid born in the late ’90s, the childhood consisted of waiting for the favorite cartoons in the early weekend morning. From the moment Scrooge McDuck popped on the screen, scolding his naughty nephews, he was hooked. Then there were Internet cafes, where the relentless “What If?” question would finally get answers. What if Huey, Dewey and Louie, the mischievous characters of Disney’s acclaimed Duck Tales, were sent on an aircraft into space? What if Chicken Little is late for school, just like all of us so many times? Classic Disney games mainly hid back in the days on Disney’s official website, brought answers to the never stopping question.

Disney did not change the childhood of so many around the world only through animated series. Colour books were another way to bring life into Disney’s characters. What is best than an hours-long marathon of animated movies while figuring out whether coloring Goofy’s belly green wouldn’t make him look alien. Then talking about the latest troubles that Goofy got himself into with friends. And if you’re responsible enough to the dishes, mum would allow you an extra half-hour of watching Disney.

Music was an important element in Disney’s movie. Very few that watched Cinderella will not find themselves humming a motif upon a second watch. Either it’s a catch jam at the beginning of a show, or a playful sonata that is supposed to stress a turning point in the story, music has shifted the way we perceive animated series. Disney put a lot of effort for their compositions to sound top-notch. This is why most Disney movies have sound recorded with a real orchestra performing. This kind of dedication to sound created quality, entertaining shows. The keen attention to music developed a whole series which has music as a central theme. One of such series is “Jonas L.A.” that features a band of three friends Kevin, Joe, and Nick as they go by their school life while trying to make music a career. The jams Jonas L.A. play, mainly their “Live to Party”, rocked from many speakers at the end of the 2000s. Although the show is years newer than the rest, it perfectly captures the feeling of being that teenager again.
