McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure INFO BOX SYSTEMS Genesis (Megadrive) PUBLISHER Sega RELEASE DATES Japan - 09/23/93 NA - ??/??/93 Europe - ??/??/93 McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure is a generic platforming game, and really has very little to do with McDonald's other than the characters popping up here and there. Oh, and you play as Ronald. There's really not much to the game. It's a run of the mill platformer. You control Ronald, you shoot some magic sparkles to take out enemies in front of you, or use your magic scarf to grab hooks to pull yourself up to higher platforms. Enemies don't try too hard to kill you, in fact nothing about the game is very difficult. The game is certainly unusual though. There's one level where you're riding a train, your standard auto scrolling level. Fight some enemies, make your way to the front of the train. You head in to a tunnel, and the train cars start to come apart. Bunny eared ballerinas appear and you find yourself crossing a dancing ballerina bridge. Ok. Bosses are also a little odd. Usually you just keep hitting bosses, or waiting until they reveal their weak spot and then go for the kill. Treasure Land Adventure is kind of like that, except before the boss will reveal his weak spot he will need to absorb some of your health first, and you hit him as he's munching on it. Ok... I used to be really harsh on this game. Why? I don't know. It's really not that bad. It has clean, colourful graphics, the music is catchy, and the controls are simple. The difficulty level is low, the originality is low, but it plays well. Nothing exceptional, but certainly not a bad game.
