Disney’s Castle of Illusionstarring Mickey Mouse is also now Backward Compatible. It was originally released as a Sega Genesis game in 1990 and then re-mastered for the Xbox 360 in 2013.

The title’s description reads:

With all-new HD graphics and gameplay, Castle of Illusion brings Mickey and his world to life in this magical Disney adventure!
