There’s also a watch feature which lets you watch the games play themselves. All of the games feature a rewind function – just tap a button and you’ll zip back in time and get your chance over again. To mitigate this, instead of tampering with the game’s code or making them easier, they’ve added a few tools to help get you around the difficulty. It obviously was not the case originally, but that reason simply doesn’t exist anymore. Now in 2019, all this leaves you with is frustrating games that seem obtuse for no reason. They made these games more difficult by design to prevent people being able to finish it in one night’s rental. In the 90s however, there was a new reason to make games hard – rentals. As a lot of games used to be arcade games, developers would make them harder so you would feed it more credits. Home console games used to be insanely hard. The Final Cut version of Aladdin tidies things up a bit, and that’s probably the version you should play. It’s great that they included the Game Boy versions for completeness sake, but the low framerate and the way the games move on a screen that isn’t 2.6 inches wide just gave me motion sickness, and just isn’t much fun.
If you play through the Gameboy versions of Aladdin, you’ll realise that whilst looking completely different, they’re pretty much the same games as the Megadrive version, just with the limitations of the handheld systems. There’s also a trade show demo of the game which hasn’t been playable by the public since its initial appearance in 1993.ĭespite all these choices about which version of the games to play, all versions of both Aladdin and The Lion King play pretty much the same. Perhaps because of that missing game they felt the need to do more with Aladdin, so they’ve included a ‘Final Cut’ version of the game as well. There’s also the Super NES version of The Lion King, but not Aladdin as that game was made by Capcom. While they’re never named, there are Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Megadrive versions of all the games.
So do these games have a place today? Let’s find out.ĭisney Classic Games: Aladdin & The Lion King doesn’t feature just two games – there are multiple versions of both games from a number of consoles. I had heard for years that the Aladdin and The Lion King games were good and that despite being hard and obtuse they were worth playing even today. Not a lot of them were very good, but the ones that were have been remembered fondly since. No matter the show or movie, it got a game. In the 1990s you had movie tie-in games for everything.
