Magical Quest 3 (Capcom - GBA - 2005)

[keniambro]

It would seem that I've become something of a stranger around these parts. I'm still exercising those creative muscles, but haven't found much of my work to be worth sharing.

Recently, though, I had arranged this chiptune version of the track that plays during the first stage of The Magical Quest: Starring Mickey Mouse. It had been inspired by 2bitcrook's recent Game Boy demake project and, subsequently, added to the mix. It's not perfect, but I still think it turned out pretty good.

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

I have read this book multiple times, actually I had just reread this last year (and I don't think I did a proper review post at the time). This is one of my top comfort books, I will never grow tired of it. To me it's the book equivalent to a cup of hot tea and a blanket when you most need it. I was at the verge of a reading slump, and in general I just needed that comfort feeling this book gives me, so I picked it up yet again.

At this point everyone more or less knows the plot of The Hobbit, it's the adventure of Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit hired as a burglar by Thorin Oakenshield and his company of Dwarves. The goal is to got at east to The Lonely Mountain, where Thorin's grandfather was king before the dragon Smaug attacked them. It's a very simple adventure that feels almost like a fairytale. It's such a cozy and engaging read, it's much more lighthearted and easy to read than The Lord Of The Rings, so give it a chance if you haven't yet. It's not as easy to explain why this story is so comforting to me, other than the cozy vibes it gives me, Bilbo gives me so much hope. He's a character I am very attached to, because I cannot help but to seem myself in him. He's just a quiet hobbit who enjoys the comfort of his house, to sit in his garden, eat and read a book. And yet, although a part of him fears adventure and unpredictability, he choses to follow is Took side and go on this adventure. What I also really like about his character is that throughout the whole novel Bilbo has this emotional ups and downs. He doesn't change in his character, he still misses his home and its comforts, even if he grows as a person. He realizes he is much more brave that he could ever think, he finds himself dealing with things he would have never imagined. Bilbo always makes me feel more confident as a person when reading this book. I am just ranting at this point, but I love this book so much, and it's so approachable, even as a fantasy book, so I can't believe some people have never read this.

I decided to use this reread for the studyblr w/ knives summer reading challenge 2.0 for the prompt magical quest. (I have posted an update recently, so I'll wait to have read a couple more books for the next one).

‘The Magical Quest With Mickey & Minnie’ from Capcom. “With Minnie?” you say? Why, this is the Game Boy Advance port of the SNES title, which added her as a playable character.

This is the cover and logo for the game.

“The magical quest is – in one of its deepest senses – a philosophical quest for the truth, and yet the story of magic is one of endless fantasies, fibs and fictions.“

Here they are! What I came here for: Mickey’s Magical Quest 2: The Great Circus Mystery!!!

I wonder if the price uptick on the third game is due to it being Japan exclusive or due to it having a low print run?
