Game review

Mickey's Runaway Zoo, released in 1991, is a delightful DOS game that combines adventure and puzzle-solving elements, catering primarily to a younger audience. The game features the beloved Disney character Mickey Mouse in a charming storyline where he takes on the task of recapturing escaped animals from a zoo.

In the game, the animals of the local zoo have mysteriously escaped, and it's up to Mickey to find and return them to their homes. Players guide Mickey through various levels, each themed around different animal habitats. The gameplay involves exploring these levels, solving puzzles, and interacting with different elements in the environment to find and capture the runaway animals.

This game is also educational - as players journey through the game, they encounter different animals, each with its unique characteristics and habitats. This provides an opportunity for young players to learn about various species and their natural environments in an interactive and fun setting.

The game's graphics and sound are typical of early '90s DOS games, with colorful sprites and simple animations that bring the characters and environments to life. The user interface is straightforward and easy to navigate, making it accessible for children.
