Collector interest
A McDonald's promotional platformer developed by Virgin on an engine widely held to rival Mario's, M.C. Kids draws interest from the crossover of licensed marketing and surprisingly strong level design. Released in the United States in 1992, it circulated in reasonable numbers, giving a moderate loose value and a tighter complete copy. The angle is its status as an advertising object turned respected gameplay curiosity.
Is M.C. Kids still worth playing in 2026?
A platformer from Virgin under McDonald's licence, M.C. Kids has young heroes explore colourful worlds to recover Ronald's stolen bags, in a jumping and block throwing gameplay surprisingly solid. Beyond its advertising origin, the title tends to its level design, its precise handling and its platforming ideas, far exceeding the status of a mere promotional game. The production is appealing. For a fan of retro platforming or someone curious about successful licensed games, the title keeps a real, sincere play interest.
