The Japanese version of the game seems identical to the American version, just with all the writing in Japanese instead of English. The Demo version was an early dev shown off at a trade show in Chicago in 1993. The Final Cut of the game was made especially for this collection, which includes difficulty adjustments, camera refinements, bug fixes, and a few more additions to please fans. There have been no changes, just an exact port of the original game. The original Sega port is exactly as you remember it from all those years ago. Since the SNES version was developed by a different company, it is not included in this collection. Players get to choose from the original Sega version, the Final Cut Version, a Demo Cut of the game, the Japanese version, and both the regular and color handheld editions. It’s slightly confusing and irrelevant to this review, but I needed to get that out there.ĭisney Classic Games: Aladdin, much to my happiness comes with six versions of the game. The reason for this was that they were developed by two different companies. The Sega version looked better, sounded better, and was simply more enjoyable.
They were two completely different games. One of these was the Genesis version of Aladdin.Īladdin for the Genesis was far superior to the SNES version.
With that said, there are a few games that I was always jealous of my Sega friends for having. It wasn’t until the Dreamcast that I finally gave the company a chance. All of the future add-ons never helped its case either. To me, the Sega Genesis was an inferior system, muddled by inferior graphics, poor sound, and a terrible pack-in controller. I never had a Genesis and never wanted one. I have been and always shall be a member of team Nintendo. Since this collection is comprised of two completely different games, I shall break up this review and discuss each title separately.ĭisney Classic Games: Aladdin What You Get The pair of classics are just as challenging as they were decades ago and can be enjoyed by gamers of all ages. The collection contains several versions of each game, along with a slew of bonus features, and tracks from their respective in-game musical scores. Where to Buy it: Steam and Retailers Everywhereĭisney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King is a nostalgic good time for those who want to relive ‘90s greatness. There will also be an art gallery, a music library, and even the Aladdin trade show demo.Title: Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion KingĪvailable On: Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox, and Steam The Classic Games collection will offer, in addition to the requisite HD upgrade, a number of other enhancements like codes and a rewind feature to help players make it through the tougher portions of the game. The package will include the Sega Genesis and Game Boy versions of both games as well as the Super Nintendo version of The Lion King along with special features that will make the games slightly less frustrating so that you don’t chuck your controller in frustration when you die for the 1,000th time on the stampede level.
#VERSIONS OF THE ALADIN GAME PC#
The Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King will arrive on consoles and PC this fall.
I always thought that due to licensing rights and Disney’s disinterest in retro gaming (outside of a few exceptions), these titles would languish on old consoles forever. But there were exceptions such as The Lion King and Aladdin, two (admittedly tough) platformers that were bright, colorful, and loads of fun to play. Back when video game tie-ins were a regular part of a movie’s merchandise machine, you had a lot of lousy, rushed product that was simply tied to the film’s release date.
