About the game

FAQ
Is this the actual 1989 cartridge?
Yes, the original DuckTales ROM, unmodified. The emulator runs it the way the console did.
How big is it and what loads?
The cartridge is 0.1 MB plus the emulator. It loads once and then comes from the browser cache.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes. On a touch screen the emulator draws its own d-pad and action buttons. Landscape gives a much bigger picture.
Are saves kept?
In this browser on this device. Another browser or a cleared cache means starting over.
