{{InfoboxFound |title=<center>Disney Game Downloads Games</center> |image=DGDlogo.png |imagecaption=Disney Game Downloads' logo |status='''Found''' |datefound=22 Sep 2023 |foundby=''Various users'' }} '''''Disney Game Downloads''''' was an online computer game download service operated by Disney Online from 2005 to 2008. It featured downloadable casual computer games starring Disney characters, all of which have now been found. ==History== All of Disney Game Downloads' games featured Disney characters, and were priced in the $9.95 to $19.95 range<ref>https://worthplaying.com/article/2006/8/14/news/35372/</ref><ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20060509061124/http://corporate.disney.go.com/wdig/online_releases/2005/2005_1130_disney.html</ref>. Free trials of the games were offered. Additionally, there was an extension of the Disney Game Downloads service called '''''Disney's Game Café'''''. Disney's Game Café offered casual game titles in a similar fashion to GameHouse, RealArcade, and Big Fish Games. It featured games such as Diner Dash, Polar Bowler, Feeding Frenzy 2, Granny in Paradise and Bejeweled 2<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20080329123909/http://disney.go.com/games/downloads/gamecafe/sitemap.html</ref>. Both DGD and DGC had a newsletter <ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20080329034452im_/http://disney.go.com/games/downloads/global/images/newsletter_signup_but_home.gif</ref>. Disney Game Downloads also had a UK website<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080622002535/http://www.disney.co.uk/gamedownloads/index.html</ref> via Trymedia<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20090131233820/http://www.trygames.com/aff=t_04ye_uk</ref>, which offered two bonus downloadable games, Disney's ToyTopia and Disney's Mini Golf. These games were also distributed to European and Australian markets through Macrovision's games network.<ref>https://itnews.com.au/news/disney-teams-with-macrovision-to-distribute-games-74195</ref><ref>https://cdrinfo.com/d7/content/walt-disney-signs-distribution-agreement-macrovision</ref> The Disney Game Downloads website went offline in mid-2008. ==Availability== After Disney Game Downloads went offline, the games from the service could be purchased via Gamesrocket, but Gamesrocket currently lists the games as sold out<ref>https://gamesrocket.com/publisher-category/publisher-disney-interactive-studios/publisher-disney.html</ref>. The games are no longer available via Yahoo Games, iWin<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20090306123422/http://www.iwin.com:80/games/lion-king-grubalicious</ref>, CNET<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20121028154136/http://download.cnet.com/windows/disney/3260-20_4-50476.html</ref> or BoontyGames<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080218085709/http://iol.boonty.com:80/do_search.php?strCategorie=&strSearch=Disney&strPrix=&intpage=1</ref>. ===Order of Findings=== *''Aladdin Magic Carpet Racing'' was found on hellopcgames.net<ref>https://hellopcgames.com/aladdins-magic-carpet-racing-game/</ref>. *''Aladdin Pinball''<ref>https://legendsworld.net/adventure/year/2005</ref>, ''Disney's Trivia Time''<ref>https://legendsworld.net/adventure/year/2006</ref>, ''Kim Possible: Legend of the Monkey's Eye'', and ''Pirates of the Caribbean Pinball''<ref>https://legendsworld.net/adventure/year/2007</ref> were found on LegendsWorld. *''Disney Cuties Crazy Daze''<ref>http://xz7.com/downinfo/78802.html</ref> and ''Stitch's Blazing Lasers''<ref>http://xz7.com/downinfo/86392.html</ref> were found on xz7.com. *''Disney Princess Castle Party''<ref>https://smallgames.ws/2854-disney_princess_castle_party.html</ref> and ''Disney's Disoku Apprentice''<ref>https://smallgames.ws/2578-disney_disoku_apprentice.html</ref> were found on Smallgames. *''Disney's Disoku Master'' was found on Kidsdown <ref>http://kidsdown.com/qimeng/shuxue/disneysdisoku.htm</ref>. *The BoontyGames installers for ''Disney's ToyTopia''<ref>https://archive.org/details/toytopia</ref> and ''Mermaid Pinball''<ref>https://archive.org/details/mermaidpinball</ref> were uploaded to Archive.org by user ComradeNapCal. **In April 2021, TOMYSSHADOW removed the trial limitations for the games ''Disney's ToyTopia'' and ''The Little Mermaid Pinball''. The games may be downloaded via [https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ TOMYSSHADOW's MEGA folder]. *''The Lion King Grubalicious'' was found via eMule. *''Little Mermaid Bubble Blast''<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20060814062357/http://www.gamenext.com:80/exe/Little_Mermaid_Bubble_Blast-setup.exe?RefId=&origin=pindex_ng_dl&ext=Little_Mermaid_Bubble_Blast-setup.exe</ref> was found on GameNext via the Wayback Machine. *''Disney's Mini Golf'' was found in Spanish by LMW user raemond on the forum Los Juegos Del Magico Nico<ref>https://losjuegosdelmagonico.forosactivos.net/t16645-disney-mini-golf-mini-golf-de-disney</ref>. The Spanish game included a text file with the English translations. Critically, the Editor's translation needed to be recreated, so although the game was playable, it was still technically partially lost. Then, on September 22, 2023, LMW Discord user March provided a download for ''Disney's Mini Golf'' in English from their old hard drive, making all the games 100% found. ==Games== {| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:center" |- ! style="background-color:lightblue" | # ! style="background-color:lightblue" | Game Title ! style="background-color:lightblue" | Status |- |1||Aladdin Magic Carpet Racing||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/cl4WQYRS'''Found'''] |- |2||Aladdin Pinball||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/N4hXmSKZ'''Found'''] |- |3||Disney Cuties Crazy Daze||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/95xHSIYa'''Found'''] |- |4||Disney Princess Castle Party||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/NwpSRIwS'''Found'''] |- |5||Disney's Disoku Apprentice||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/t8pkTAhI'''Found'''] |- |6||Disney's Disoku Master||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/x8oXTY5L'''Found'''] |- |7||Disney's Mini Golf [UK Exclusive]||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/cxREUJaS'''Found'''] |- |8||Disney's ToyTopia [UK Exclusive]||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/51gDDAbB'''Found'''] |- |9||Disney's Trivia Time||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/RlwwmIZC'''Found'''] |- |10||Kim Possible: Legend of the Monkey's Eye||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/s0IGGDRZ'''Found'''] |- |11||The Lion King Grubalicious||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/UwxEwKhL'''Found'''] |- |12||Little Mermaid Bubble Blast||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/coxxACoD'''Found'''] |- |13||Mermaid Pinball||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/pxwH3YCI'''Found'''] |- |14||Pirates of the Caribbean Pinball||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/QhwFnQCT'''Found'''] |- |15||Stitch's Blazing Lasers||[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ/file/RopVyaab'''Found'''] |} ==Gallery== <gallery mode="packed" heights="175px"> DCCD_1_fall_3.jpg DCCD_2_map_5.jpg DCCD_3_winter_7.jpg DCCD_4_bonus_5.jpg Program3119.jpg Screenshot3119-0.jpg Screenshot3119-1.jpg Screenshot3119-2.jpg ArquivoExibir.jpg DisneysDisoku1.gif Disney_Princess_Castle_Party_v1.0.56.jpg Unnamed_(4).jpg dpcpscreenshot.jpg Ss_848_04_full.jpg 26056_sc1.jpg Lion-king-grubalicious-timon-pumbaa-simba-2.jpg 26056_sc3.jpg 924578265.jpg 1256926533_smallgames.ws_dingo_2009.10.23-23.44.28_001.jpg 26056 sc2.jpg Unnamed_(5).jpg 1256926533_smallgames.ws_1246_en_b.jpg 1256926534 smallgames.ws dingo 2009.10.23-23.47.21 003.jpg The-little-mermaid-pinball-250.jpg The-little-mermaid-pinball-3.jpg The-little-mermaid-pinball-2.jpg Stitchs-blazing-lasers-v3-main-window-display.png F144185861942332.frame.jpg 201272614185623536.jpg 201272614184039620.jpg Screenshot1631-0.jpg Screenshot1631-1.jpg Screenshot1631-2.jpg 22057 sc1.jpg 22057 sc2.jpg 22057 sc3.jpg </gallery> ==External Links== *[https://mega.nz/folder/5khQmKpQ#pWBvYaEa90RzM7Ma3QtykQ Link to the updated MEGA folder by TOMYSSHADOW which has all of the found DGD games.] Retrieved 29 Apr '21 *[https://mega.nz/folder/864lhIKQ#_8yGdP-D6Thl-3TZ6GxggQ Link to the older MEGA folder with found DGD games; some games may not work on Windows 10, and may require Windows XP (Decryption key is _8yGdP-D6Thl-3TZ6GxggQ)] Retrieved 06 Apr '21 *[http://web.archive.org/web/20080330172151/http://disney.go.com/games/downloads/index.html Archived Disney Game Downloads home page] Retrieved 06 Apr '21 *[http://web.archive.org/web/20080329123909/http://disney.go.com/games/downloads/gamecafe/index.html Archived Disney's Game Café home page] Retrieved 06 Apr '21 *[http://web.archive.org/web/20080330172151/http://disney.go.com/games/downloads/sitemap.html Archived Disney Game Downloads sitemap] Retrieved 06 Apr '21 *[http://web.archive.org/web/20080329123909/http://disney.go.com/games/downloads/gamecafe/sitemap.html Archived Disney's Game Café sitemap] Retrieved 06 Apr '21 *[https://web.archive.org/web/20090131233820/http://www.trygames.com/aff=t_04ye_uk Archived UK Disney Game Downloads home page] Retrieved 06 Apr '21 *[https://web.archive.org/web/20090131215332/http://disney.co.uk/gamedownloads/index.html Archived Disney Game Downloads section of Disney.co.uk] Retrieved 06 Apr '21 ==References== {{reflist|2}} [[Category:Found internet media]] [[Category:Found media]] [[Category:Found video games]]
