Two completely different Aladdin games appeared in 1993. Capcom made one for the Super NES, and Virgin Games made this Genesis version, published by Sega, with a team that included David Perry. Disney animators worked on the character animation, which gives Aladdin, the Genie and the guards a fluidity unusual for console sprites at the time.
Unlike the Capcom game, here Aladdin carries a scimitar. Most enemies are dispatched with sword slashes, while apples are thrown at range and can be restocked throughout each stage. Levels follow the film loosely, from the streets of Agrabah and the Cave of Wonders to a magic carpet escape and a stage set inside the Genie's lamp, with Jafar waiting at the end. Gems buy extra lives and continues from the merchant. The game sold millions and is often cited as one of the best licensed games of the era. The Super NES and Genesis versions are commonly compared, with fans divided between them.
Tips for Disney's Aladdin
Save apples for enemies that are hard to reach with the sword, such as those on ledges or throwing pots.
Collect the Genie tokens; they trigger a bonus roulette that can award extra lives.
