Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Pocahontas
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Disney/Funcom/Virgin Games
RELEASED:         1996
TYPE:             Platform
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Pocahontas is a brave Amerind maiden, a free spirit among
                  her people, who takes a liking to the handsome stranger
                  who calls himself John Smith and came in the very large
                  canoe from across the Big Lake.  Inspired by the animated
                  Disney feature, which took MANY LIBERTIES with the
                  original historical tale.

IMPRESSIONS:      This is the best of the Disney platformers to date.  It
                  has a heavier-than-usual puzzle bent, and some are quite
                  frustrating to solve, but the ability to switch among
                  characters is a big help.  It's a game that will keep you
                  coming back for more, if only to say that you beat it.
                  (Ann Chovy)

Nice little game, good fun. But the music is horrible, so turn it off from the start.

This game must have been one of if not the last Disney title released on the platform, the gameplay is good and the graphics are amazing. The way that you can switch characters is a great twist, this game is not too hard but still has that problem solving bent to keep you coming back for more. Recommended - that is if you can find this mega-rare little gem of a cart nowadays.
