Episode Notes:
1. Captured via the Mega SG.
2. Land of Illusion is easily twice as long as Castle of Illusion.
3. This was released in 1994 in Brazil, nearly a decade after the hardware's original availability in Japan.
4. Japan didn't see a Master Version either.
5. I cropped out the HUD in the Game Gear footage so you could see more of the screen with the overlay. You can see it in the stand alone footage right after.
6. While the Genesis didn't see a version of this, it did see Quackshot and World of Illusion around the same time. Both of which contain many of the same elements.

I used to have this for my master system as a kid along with castle of illusion. Such a great game even great to revisit today
Sega Lord X... My vintage Sega Sage!
Just a dude that likes games, man. Thanks for watching.
You're Sega Lord X. And I will catch you next time.
That’s all I ever ask.
I was hoping you'd cover this one after your Castle of Illusion review. Land of illusion was one of my favorite games as a kid. So much variety in its level design.
For a Master System game, the graphics and colours look REALLY good here. Almost looks like it's pushing the hardware limitations, so I'm surprised the game plays so smoothly as well
My favorite Master System game, period. The only downside are the frequent slowdowns, other than that, I just love it. Beautiful graphics for an 8 bit game, great level design, backtracking, exploration (getting all the hidden stars shows a special ending), man, what a game. In my humble opinion it's the pinnacle of the Illusion series, including the 16 bit games.
Keeping the Sega name alive, love your videos man. They pushed me to finish my Sega console collection :)
Great content as always. I really need to give this game a try as played Castle of Illusion on both the master system and the Genesis but completely forgot all about this.
Thanks to you I have been reliving my youth again and playing all of the Sega Classics.
Anytime there’s any amount of parallax in a master system game it is automatically worth checking out
Adam J K the parallax in this game is dope AF
Choplifter might be the king of SMS parallax but it definitely doesn't have Disney difficulty..
I had the Sega MS and I never was able to find this one in store back in the day. Thank you for covering this delightful game.
The fact that its Mickey, makes it extra special. You cover it all! Seriously!
Thank you for all the awesome content Sega Lord X!!! 😁
Thank you for watching it.
@@SegaLordX Always buddy! Love your channel. The best to you in the 2021.
they both are my favorite GG games.
Master piece.
I really like your reviews in this format! Great writing!
Thank you. Glad you enjoy it.
Great review . I’m not a Disney fan but I do like
The one for Super Nintendo when Mickey changes clothes .
Aw dude, you must cover Fantasia sometime, there's a fantastic story behind its development!
He has done. I can't remember what video it was (I think it was one about crappy mega drive games) a while ago but he did talk about it. He didn't like it
Eh, it's such a bad game though... Why review such an awful game?
"Dreaded Ass Bounce of Doom" xD
That’s actually how it’s described in the manual, believe it or not.
Great video, Dude. I was a Nintendo fanboy but this is one I always wondered about. I really enjoyed this
Another awesome video my friend! This really took me back! I loved this game, together with GG Shinobi I & II as well as Wonderboy 3: The Dragon's Trap on the Game Gear. During the last 20 years I have been so accustomed to play the early parts of the game that I had actually forgotten a lot about the later stages and skills. I usually only completed the game when we drove from Sweden to Hungary during summers (24hour trip), because it actually required A LOT of time to do so. The Game Gear was a godsend for me, saving me for boredom. And truthfully, it felt awesome to have console quality games in the car! (I had a 12V to 9V car adapter for the system so no need for chugging massive amounts of batteries). Thank you for reminding me about this game. I know it was good, but the end game part was definitely the best! I have to play it again. all the way through! :D
Amazing content my man
Thanks sega lord x! Your videos inspired me to get a saturn and replay cart and start a collection. I had no idea what I was missing!
I remember owning a Master System and 6 games: Castle Of Illusion, Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic Chaos and Alex Kidd in Miracle World (Land Of Illusion being the sixth game). I played it a lot with my classmates and brother, passing the controller to each other after a death. So many good memories. Great video as always
A nice colourful, crisp game. I had the Megadrive game, so never really looked at this. I also had Fantasia.
It's helps that it was a four mega cart. I really think the Master System was too powerful relative to the size of the carts available to it
Would have been cool to see what 16 meg games woulda looked like on it.
I cant understand why someone would dislike a video like this which olny brings back so many good memories of our childhood
Sega really needed more of these types of games earlier in the SMS lifecycle, as in between 1987-1989. While I liked my SMS back in the day I was often a bit envious of so many expansive action-adventure platformers that were on the NES. This one in particular would have been a good answer to NES Duck Tales had it been developed and released four years before it ultimately was. I thought that it looked like a strong effort in magazine previews but by that time I was knee-deep into the three 16-bit systems instead and that's where my money went.
Not if I catch YOU next time!
Thanks a bunch for reviewing this! I know SMS & Game Gear vids might not get the most views, but I sure as hell am a fan of the two systems! Would love to see you review more games for the two platforms as there are many great ones out there that rarely get talked about!
I remember finishing World of Illusion with my brother. It was quite a short game and not terribly hard but it was a great experience. Had no idea there was a Land of Illusion - thanks for the review!
I really like these 8 bit Mickey games. They look, sound and play so joyful.
My cousin and I played the hell out of this, brings back lovely memories, looking forward to the sleepover weekend taking turns playing this
My almost 3yo son is obsessed with Castle of Illusion on the Genesis right now. He can’t play himself but loves watching me play. I owned it as a kid.
I had this on my Master system when I was a kid! Great episode!
Part of my life is in this game. 1990/1993 and Master System = epic era in my life. More than 80 games beaten. I finally got my Mega Drive in the middle of 1993.
Wow that was a nostalgia trip - not played this since it came out!
Wow! This look great. I'll definitely have to check it out. It almost looks like an early TG16 game.
I would love to smash the like button for this video! Thank you, you made an old guy happy!
Still have my Tectoy Brazilian cartridge. It's a fantastic game. I love the non-linear level design and the metroid-like power-up aspects of it, which bring It a level above castle of Illusion (which is also fantastic and better than the megadrive version, in my opinion).
Great review! I have the game shipped to me as I type, looking forward to playing it even more now!
this, shinobi, asterix, new zealand story and (on the nes) ducktales were my favourite platformers growing up
Do Sonic on the Master System next.
After pissing every one off with my Genesis review of Sonic, I’m taking a break from the little blue blur.
@@SegaLordX now I gotta go look for your sonic review
@@SegaLordX Oh come on. Who cares what people say. Just do you. WE WANT MORE SONIC!
@@SegaLordX those Sonic fans sure are a contentious people
@@SegaLordX Sonic fans get butthurt when anyone criticizes pretty much any Sonic game these days, but you get used to it after a while. Just don't talk about Sonic on twitter, lmao.
Such simple and fun times in the history of gaming good to know it wasnt always about net services patches addons etc you just popped your cartridge in and the fun times were there. I will sound cliche but i miss those days im certainly glad i got to experience them though. Great review on a forgotten gem.
Dude I just love your videos. Always a pleasant surprise.
Love this game with all my heart. Got it loose back in the day, after playing it a lotta time from rent. Took me some years to have a complete Master System copy.
This one, Castle of Illusion, our version of Wonder Boy called Turma da Mônica and Sonic (included in the system's ROM) were the ones I played the most in this awesome console.
The Illusion series was so good. 8 bit Sega Disney games were generally amazing. I was playing Lucky Dime Caper again just the other day.
I only played the génesis versión
I never knew Castle of Illusion had a sequel. Looks every bit as good as Castle, so I'll be checking it out some time.
Can you do a review of Mickey Mania
I’ve done it in my compilation vids but I could definitely see it getting its own video.
Interesting- this looks a lot better than I remember. I played this one through to the end on the SMS, but hardly remember it, whereas I remember nearly everything about Castle. Must have just been something about me! Have to give this a second chance.
Please do a video on the GEMS sound system
That’s a tough one. I’m not a fan of the GEMS driver so it’d just be 15 minutes of me complaining about it.
@@SegaLordX That's what would make it a good episode
It's one of those games intrigues you about the Mastersystem due to it being made so well. For its time just like Super Mario 3 exploration was a big pull at the time especially if something new could be found.
You should do the Shinning Force series. You are the man for the Job. I really enjoy Your channel. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
My favorite Mickey game, I love this game so much!!! EXCELLENT!!! ❤
Its exploration and puzzle mechanics are INSPIRATION for game creators
1:34 “Ass Bounce of Du Malong!!!”
I recently played through this one on Gamegear again. Still love it.
I loved this game as a lad on the game gear.
I still have my Game Gear copy and enjoyed it tons growing up!
This looks great. I wish I had these when I used to own a Game Gear. I only ever owned Columns, which is the only version of the game I play, so everything else I played was borrowed.
This is a great, must-have game for the Master System. On the Game Gear, the screen crunch is a deal-breaker: I need to see the enemies before they're upon me!
Just played this for the 1st time this year. Very underappreciated classic on the Master System.
Great Review, will have to put this on my backlog!
Had land of illusion on game gear! Loved this game:)
Instant Like, like you cheated up (ABBACABABA down BA down AC up)
I'm glad you liked this one too.
that's my fav. mickey mouse game on the game gear alright! (got it 25/7/94 along with asterix & the secret mission)
Brings me back to my game gear days
I like that there is more screen space on SMS. Back then I didnt know of Master System. I was young with Game Gear and Genesis.
I still have this game.
This one triggers good memories.
I have this game in the Game Gear and love it!
Great review!
Any chance you could cover Quackshot one day? It's one of my fav Megadrive/Genesis games.
The illusion games are really great and fun titles.
You remind me of classic game room so much
By the way, what did you use to get the capture footage of the game? I like how you can still hear a bit of rasp/scratchiness from the notes which is a signature sound of the Game Gear itself. It might just be me, but the Game Gear sounds just a hair different than the SMS to my ears, even though I know that shouldn't be possible considering they are using the exact same sound hardware. It could just be the characteristics of the Game Gear speaker that I am used to hearing, which it sounds like is actually captured in the output of this which I really like! Is that Emulation or are you capturing using real hardware? Do tell!
I still dont get why music sounded like this on Master System. I grew up playing games on MSX. I dont think it had FM sound, since it was the mid 80s. But man, Id have a blast with games like Terramex and Amaurote. Now THAT was good music and Im pretty sure it all came out of the PSG. Even the ZX Spectrum had great music like on games like Trantor. Now that one Im sure was just the PSG handling sound.
This is my all time favorite game ive played it so many times glad to see it get some love
I played this on gg and then emulation
God I wish they would have had Land of Illusion for the Genesis!
You have the best channel! I love this and Consol wars only differences you put out content all the damn time! I’m surprised you have not done pro wrestling reviews yet
I need to add 'ass bounce of doom' to my vocabulary.
Pretty sure this one was developed by Aspect Co. as it's using the same exact sound engine that Sonic 2 used. Overall fabtastic review of this game.
I loved world of illusion as well, can you do that as a review next?
never got in to the master system but this game looks great.
I had the GG version and loved it, eventually playing it enough to find all the Power Stars for the flex. I wonder if the SMS slowdown is due to the more zoomed out viewport?
Segalord stole all my data and is now streaming freely...unreal!
I've played this game it's freakin fun
Land of Illusion is a 8 bits masterpiece that most Americans don’t know. Actually the Illusion trilogy 8 bits is fantastic
I've played this a lot!!!!! Great game.
It's a shame that we still haven't seen a collection of these games appearing on the likes of Xbox, Playstation, Switch and more. A collection with the Illusion games, Lucky Dime Caper, Quackshot, some of the SNES Disney games and other well received Disney games from that time. I would imagine that the collection would be quite well received by many who loved playing those games when they were younger and would love to introduce their own kids, if they're parents anyway, to the games.
I agree. Hopefully they create one on modern consoles, even though I will always like my Game Gear. They released a Disney Afternoon compilation a few years ago, so I hope they can treat the other classic Disney games with the same respect.
Review World of Illusion and Quackshot, they were amazing games.
Sega, Capcom and later Virgin made Disney games a synonym of quality during the 8 and 16 bit eras.
There's always more examples of just how superior and underrated the master system was. It's a shame some of the best games were either never brought to the US or simply pushed aside by either time circumstance or the market dominance of Nintendo at the time.
But seeing them even now is amazing. It truly was an incredible console.
Funny you made a video about this game the same time I've been streaming Disney games all month for Disney December. This was on my list and after watching this I have to play it. But first Gargoyles and The Little Mermaid.
Gargoyles is awesome. Little Mermaid, not so much.
@@SegaLordX I enjoyed The little Mermaid on (NES) but perhaps it's due to nostalgia as I grew up with the game in my library. I can beat that game easily within a single session so it won't be too much of a hassle.
I've already beaten DuckTales, Magical Quest 2, and The Emperor's New Groove (which controlled horribly).
@@SegaLordX Didn't know about Gargoyles on the Megadrive. Shame as Gargoyles was my fave US cartoon of then 90s.
Great review for an awesome game!
I'm still playing doom on the Sega Saturn ,I got Duke nukem for Genesis ,and I plan on getting Hexen for the Sega Saturn.
Great! As always. 🙂
great review!
Bring back the Illusion series! We need more ass bounce of doom in our lives! 💥
Very nice game, played it a lot on the GG
Man this game was SO HARD for me as a lil kid
Maybe you don't have much experience with it, but it'd be cool to see a video on the SG-1000. It's rarely ever coveted on major channels. One video's probably enough, and I think nobody would fault you for using emulation. Just a bit of Sega history that's often forgotten.
Hands down one of the best games ever developed for the good old Master System.
by the way, Skies of Arcadia makes a Land of Illusion tribute, in case you haven't noticed
you can also notice the game gear version changed the way scoring & health are counted & displayed respectively
Great game and love the master system
