Evan G screen01.png This is a prototype of the unreleased game, Mickey's Playtown Adventure: A Day Of Discovery. snes_central@yahoo.ca February 1, 2019 1|A long time ago when I was searching for information on this game, I sent a message to artist Eric Browning about it, and he responded.: 18|Mickey never saw the light of day. It was complete, I can't remember what happened. I tried animating Mickey- but Disney does not mess around with that guy and I simply am not trained as an animator. We sent it to Little Gangsters in L.A, an animation house Disney worked with. They did amazing animation- I was humbled by that.

I got a ROM of Mickey, wow, I've come a long way. Pretty neat to see it, I remember every little pixel. The animation isn't as good as I remember, partly due to my inexperience and in large part because I think the programmer was forced to remove frames. | 1|After playing the game, I really think that Mr. Browning is selling his work short - the animation and graphics in this game are amazing for a SNES game. It is sort of set up like a point-and-click game. For instance, if you touch an empty flower pot, flowers bloom. The game might be a bit text heavy for the intended child friendly audience, which I assume might have been one of the reasons for it not being released. Some of the puzzles, notably the safe vault challenge, also have very frustrating controls. The game itself looks like it is pretty much complete, but it isn't really something that would appeal to the hardcore SNES fan. 1|Perhaps unsurprisingly considering this game was geared towards young children, this game was not heavily featured in game magazines. The game was advanced enough that there is box art for it. 14|box.jpg|Box art, from Half.com 1|The ROM image that is out there comes from a scene release by the group Napalm, who leaked it on January 25, 1995. The checksum is correct in the leaked version. There really isn't any reason to believe the dump is hacked. 22|release.txt| 1|I received an email back in early January 2013 from Bob Prater, who owned a prototype of the game. He told me that it was going to be shown on a TV show called “The Home Tech Show”, but the show was cancelled before it aired. The prototype has a date of September 9, 1994, which is quite a bit before the scene release. Whether or not this is an earlier version of the game, it is hard to know. The title screen, which he took a picture of, is identical to the leaked prototype. Mr. Prater sold the game on Ebay shortly afterwards. Here is the text from the auction: 22|ebay.txt| 14|pcb.jpg|Prototype sent to The Home Tech Show| 1|Another prototype was sold by gamezsquare in May 2012.
