![]() As odd as it may sound, getting the rights to Mickey Mouse wasn’t as easy as negotiating with someone like Michael Jackson. Along with names like Michael Jackson and Joe Montana, Disney’s mascot was at the forefront of Sega’s licensing barrage, bringing first-rate names to its games in North America. Indeed, securing the license was major feather in the cap of Sega of America President Michael Katz. Given Sega’s minuscule console presence in the U.S., convincing Disney to come aboard was something of a coup. Few names are bigger than Mickey Mouse, and bringing a faithful rendition of such a well-known character to a console that was facing a seemingly insurmountable battle against Nintendo was a daunting task. Of course, more bits don’t necessarily equate to better games, particularly those that have the burden of doing justice to such a highly regarded brand. The plot was right out of a Disney cartoon, and the union of Mickey Mouse and the new 16-bit hardware sounded like a perfect match. Mickey pursues the witch to her castle, where he must brave multiple stages of danger to collect the magic gems he needs to create a rainbow bridge to Minnie’s tower prison. It shares the tale of an evil witch named Mizrabel, who kidnaps (mousenaps?) Minnie Mouse out of jealousy of her beauty and popularity. ![]() A Classic Game Takes FormĬastle of Illusion arrived early into the Genesis’ lifespan, when Sega was still trying to carve out an identity for the fledgling machine. Today’s powerful home machines make this an easy feat, but at the turn of the ‘90s, when the Genesis was still in its infancy and most consoles paled in horsepower to arcade boards and home computers, it was a much harder vision to realize. That devotion is the key element and the secret to its enduring favor among Sega fans. What makes Castle of Illusion so memorable is how faithfully it recreated the personality of its source material. There’s a certain element to Disney productions that makes them timeless, even when technology has advanced and consumer tastes have shifted. The first game in the beloved Illusion series, Castle of Illusion, is widely hailed as a Genesis classic, and fans still regard its unique blend of Disney charm, simple gameplay, and beautiful presentation as one of the prime examples of platforming excellence of the era.Īs polished as the fluid and tight gameplay, excellent visuals, and enjoyable music of Castle of Illusion were, its charm extends beyond that. Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Quackshot Starring Donald Duck, were the high point of pre- Sonic 16-bit platforming, and they were followed up by the co-op dazzler World of Illusion. Long before furry mascots flooded Sega’s 16-bit console, there was a mouse and a duck, and they starred in two of the most wonderful platformer’s in the system’s library. While you read our articles, be sure to keep your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the vehicle at all times, and remember these are strictly fictional for your enjoyment.For many gamers who grew up with the Genesis, some of their fondest memories with the console came from the series of early Disney games published by Sega. We also hope that Disney sees how much people like some of our stories and decide to actually make one of our stories a reality! We write 100% made-up parody and satire stories for your enjoyment. Some Disney sites write deceptive stories for clicks. Mouse Trap News was created on a whim to have some fun and write stories about Disney we wish were true. So technically our slogan The Moused Trusted Name in Disney News isn’t true, but we thought it was creative and funny, so we are running with it. ![]() From Disney Park announcements to Disney Hotel and resort news to made-up Disney partnerships, you can be assured that anything you read here is not true, real, or accurate, but it is fun. We write fake stories about Disney Parks stuff. Mouse Trap News is the world’s best satire and parody site. The site that caused this minor commotion advertises itself as a satire site, though it’s unclear they actually know what that word means. ![]()

15 minute play scripts3/31/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() Set in Oberndorf, Austria in 1818, the play is staged with live guitar in a Readers Theatre format. I love letters so I added them and then wanted to add some wonky snowflakes. A one-act Christmas comedy a play with live music for young actors, telling the story of how the Christmas song Silent Night came to be written. Level of difficulty: 7/10 script with a wide range of emotions to be shown and tempers flare quickly. The staging is simple, consisting of a table, covered with a cloth, and a chair. Set: The action takes place in a room in a small apartment. When the group was done with it, I requested it and proceeded to add the crazy Christmas patchwork fabric that a friend had given me and challenged me to use! Suitable for: PG 12 (language) Length: 10-15 minutes long. As the others started adding rounds, I was very intrigued at the direction it was taking. This time I made the starter which I really did not like at all and sent it in to the group. Wonky Xmas Cabin is another quilt resulting from the Add A Border group. I am planning lots of big stitch hand quilting with various threads on this one. I felt a real connection to the piece and was so glad that it came back to me! I luckily managed to get it back into my possession and I got to finish it very close to what I had envisioned. The next person, Heidi Red Letter Quilts added more and really did a great job keeping the mood and style of the piece. I received it and made my additions and unwillingly sent it back into the group, even though I really wanted to keep it. She made the starter for the ugly fabric challenge issued by Victoria a number of years ago and donated the block to the AAB group for the 2013 New Years Resolution Challenge.

According to Sam Graber, every 10-minute play should ask a question.

![]() ![]() If you're seeing jitter constantly, bug your ISP. Ideally, you want zero packet loss, but for ordinary internet usage you can live with 1 or 2 percent loss. The internet being what it is, you'll usually see a little packet loss. If you're seeing a lot of jitter your internet connection is most likely suffering from network congestion somewhere up the line.ĭSLReport's jitter test is very handy if you're having trouble with video, VoIP, video-conferencing, or gaming. This measures jitter by pinging sites from around the world from your system. You can check to see if you're having jitter by using the DSLReport Jitter test. With older programs like email and ordinary web browsers you may never notice your internet is less than rock stable, but with high jitter, video, VoIP, and games will once more start misbehaving. What this means for you is the more jitter you have, the less stable your connection is. Many things can cause jitter: interference, overburdened network hardware, or a bad connection. Your PC is sending out packets of information to websites and they're not getting there, or vice-versa. Sometimes jitter is so bad that packets are lost. So, for example, if you ping a site once and it takes 1ms to report back in and then the next ping packet takes 10ms to report in, you have a horrible case of jitter. Jitter, or more precisely packet delay variation, is a measurement of the times it takes for internet packets to arrive to your system. You may be losing packets or suffering from jitter. That's because ping, latency, and bandwidth only tell part of the story. your connection may still not be that good. Netflix currently uses 35.2 percent of all fixed internet traffic in North America, and most of that is in prime time.Įven with a low ping and fast bandwidth. Thus, while I can see great speeds in the morning and afternoon, when the evening comes around and everyone starts watching Netflix, my speed goes down. It's because cable internet's bandwidth is shared between users on the same cable segment. Is that because I'm some kind of network genius? Nope. Sometimes, however, I get 120 to 130Mbps. In the real world, ISPs usually over-promise and under-deliver on bandwidth. That's pretty good, but I pay for 100Mbps. You may notice that my results are from 60 to 70 Megabits per second (Mbps) down. Generally speaking, these tests will show you getting the fastest possible speeds. ISPs also have their own performance tests. ![]() All this test does is tell you how fast your downloads are. Netflix, which has reason to believe ISPs deliberately slow down its shows, has its own speed test: Fast. In practical terms, that means, for example, online action gaming and video-conferencing are almost impossible with either kind of internet connection. These technologies simply aren't capable of performing well. With some kinds of internet connections, notably dial-up and satellite, you will always see poor ping and latency performance. The simple Google Speed tests upload, download, and latency. ![]() |
