Episode Notes:
1. Captured on the Mega SG.
2. The Disney film the game is based on received quite a bit of criticism about its historical accuracy. Being a Virginia-born native myself, the real story of Pocahontas is well known and was anything but a fairy tale. Portrayed as a young woman here, she actually died at just 21 years of age from an unknown illness. John Smith's account of their meeting and the events that followed have always been called into question and there is no known romance to have happened between the two, particularly since she was just 10 years old when they met.
3. This was scheduled for release on the SNES but never made it to retail.
4. The developers of this, Funcom, also did the incredible port of NBA Hangtime for the Genesis.
5. I would not play through this until years after its release. When it landed in 1996, I was fully wrapped up in Saturn and Playstation games.
