The Lucky Dime Caper starring Donald Duck is a platform game released for Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear in 1991. It is the 8-bit counterpart to Quackshot (a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis-only release), another Disney-licensed game which also features Donald Duck as the main character. A sequel to this game, Deep Duck Trouble, also featuring Donald Duck, was released for both consoles in 1993.

Story[]

Magica De Spell has stolen Uncle Scrooge's Number One Dime and has kidnapped Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Donald Duck embarks on a mission and travels around the world to save his three nephews and recover Scrooge's lucky dime.

Version differences[]

Despite the Sega Master System and Game Gear being very similar machines, there are some differences between the two versions of this game:

  • While following the same storyline, the intro sequences are different.
  • The level select screen on the Game Gear does not have any music.
  • The layout of platforms, enemy positions are different.
  • In the Game Gear version, bonus items are pre-placed in the level, whereas in the Master System version, they are only obtainable by killing enemies.
  • The Master System game allows you to back track, the Game Gear version does not.
  • Collecting five stars in the Master System game gives you limited invulnerability, the Game Gear version gives additional points.
  • When hit by an enemy, Donald loses his hammer weapon in the Master System version; it can be obtained as bonus item after killing an enemy. The hammer is not lost when hit by an enemy in the Game Gear version.
