Collector interest
North American NTSC-U version of Disney Interactive's Hercules platformer. More available than the localised European pressings, it remains a common US licensed title, plentiful loose at modest prices. Value lifts only on the seldom-seen sealed copy; the US packaging differs from the PAL editions and is the sole real differentiator for the regional collector.
Is Disney's Hercules Action Game still worth playing in 2026?
A platformer drawn from the Disney film, this action game stages Hercules across snappy levels mixing sword combat and colourful scrolling faithful to the cartoon. The dazzling art direction, the digitised characters and the brisk pace make it a pleasant, spectacular platformer for its time. The high difficulty and a fairly classic gameplay limit the depth. A charming title to recommend for Disney fans and lovers of 90s licensed platformers on PlayStation.
