TaleSpin is a video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, Sega Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, and Game Gear. It is based on the Disney animated series with the same name. TaleSpin was released by Capcom on the NES in 1991 and Game Boy in 1992. Sega released its own versions of TaleSpin on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in 1992 and Sega Game Gear in 1993. NEC also made one for their TurboGrafx-16 system in 1991.
This game involves the adventures of Baloo and Kit Cloudkicker, two bears delivering cargo for Rebecca Cunningham, another bear. However, Shere Khan, the evil tiger tycoon, wants to put Rebecca out of business, so he hires air pirates, led by Don Karnage, to do his dirty work.
In the NES and Game Boy games, Baloo has to deliver his cargo across the world while fighting the pirates who are trying to stop him.
In the Sega Genesis and Game Gear games, Baloo and Kit face up against Shere Khan's company in a contest to earn a lifetime work contract from the city of Cape Suzette.
In the TurboGrafx game, Louie tells Baloo of an ancient artifact, the pieces of which are scattered across the road.
