Released for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive in 1996, Pocahontas is a platformer developed by Disney Interactive.
It landed about 7 years into the Genesis's life. Other notable Genesis releases from 1996 include Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Worms and International Superstar Soccer Deluxe.
Disney Interactive also made Toy Story, Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow and QuackShot Starring Donald Duck for the Genesis.
Pocahontas is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to run, jump and explore
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you've played the Genesis hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Pocahontas is like
Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.
Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
