For the debut of our new super-deluxe Together Retro format, we'll be celebrating the high calibre of our retro gaming endeavors with a genre not always synonymous with such quality - Licensed 2D platformers.
Whether you're playing along with Disney classics, Saturday morning tie-ins or comic book classics, there's plenty of quality licensed games out there to prove the stereotypes wrong.
The only criteria to meet for this month's theme is that the game needs to be a sidescrolling platformer, based on an IP or license that isn't normally associated with video games. Here's a couple of recommended games to get you started - whether you play 1, 10 or 100, the important thing is to join in, have fun and let use know your thoughts in this thread!
