Hey, that should count for something!The Little Mermaid proves itself to be a respectable entry in Capcom's fascinating library of Disney-licensed titles. ![]() Of course, it's not quite the same without Sebastian's throaty Harry Belafonte-style vocals, but I believe that this is the first video game ever to include an Oscar-winning tune in its soundtrack. And the final confrontation with the huge, buxom Ursula is wonderful - her grinning, purple-skinned visage is as wicked as it was in the movie.In case you're wondering, yes, the game does include an electronic rendition of the film's most memorable song, 'Under the Sea'. There are some really nice graphic effects in certain areas, like the spots where Ariel can dig in the sand with her tail or the places where she leaps out of the water and flops around on land before diving back in with a splash.Other parts of the game are notable for their background graphics - Levels 4 and 5 are surprisingly atmospheric for an 8-bit NES game, as is the 'boss' battle at the end of the first level.
