Watch us raid The Disney Afternoon Collection’s temple of lost 8-bit treasures

You are in your 30s, have a mortgage, and are saving to put your children through college — you’re an adult. But if you give Disney some money, it will happily let you pretend that you’re a kid again.

The Disney Afternoon Collection is out today for $20 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It is a bundle of six collaborations between Disney and Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System. I’ve put in some time with each game, which includes DuckTales, DuckTales 2, Darkwing Duck, TaleSpin, Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers, and Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers 2. These games debuted in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but they still play well and provide an interactive retrospective for what games were like for the last half of the NES’s life. The studio that made the game, Digital Eclipse, did a great job porting these nostalgic hits to modern platforms in their original state while also including a crucial new feature.
