TaleSpin

TaleSpin

TaleSpin is a scrolling shooter video game based on the Disney television series TaleSpin. The game was developed by Capcom for the NES in 1991 and ported to the Game Boy in 1992. The Game Boy version is essentially a slightly stripped down version of the game. The NES version of the game was included in The Disney Afternoon Collection compilation for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in April 2017. The gameplay consists of maneuvering Baloo's plane "The Sea Duck" through each level, fending off incoming enemies and avoiding obstacles. Items can be collected to gain extra lives or to increase the total score. The plane can be turned upside down to fly back through the level, but only in horizontally scrolling areas. At the end of each level, the player must fight a boss enemy by repeatedly shooting at its weak points. After defeating a level, the player can buy upgrades for Baloo's plane with the money collected before moving on to the next level. In the bonus levels, the player controls Kit on a wing profile to pop balloons for bonus points.

Story

This game is about the adventures of Baloo and Kit, who deliver cargo for Rebecca Cunningham. However, Shere Khan wants to put Rebecca out of business, so he hires the air pirates led by Don Karnage to do his dirty work. In the NES and Game Boy games, Baloo must transport his cargo across the world while fighting the pirates who want to stop him. The player controls Baloo in his plane, The Seaduck, except in a bonus level where the player controls Kit on his hydrofoil.
