I’ve always maintained that both the SNES and Genesis/Mega Drive versions of this game are worthwhile in their own right. And they are, but playing the Disney Classic’s versions, with the two juxtaposed against each other, really reveal how much better the Genesis presentation happens to be.

I’ve always maintained that both the SNES and Genesis/Mega Drive versions of this game are worthwhile in their own right. And they are, but playing the Disney Classic’s versions, with the two juxtaposed against each other, really reveal how much better the Genesis presentation happens to be. Not only is it more fluid, with better combat, it’s surprisingly better looking in many areas despite being at a colour disadvantage compared to the SNES. That said, it’s full of hallmark Virgin Interactive platforming faux pas like poor level visibility and the the fact that half the time you have to leap wildly into the unknown, hoping there’s a platform (or isn’t a hazard) just off screen. Nonetheless it’s still a lot of fun, and my partner any I played through it in its entirety this afternoon while a thunderstorm raged outside.
P.S. the final fight against Jafar is a huge PITA! It’s amazing that we played games like this as a kid at thought there was a hope in hell we could beat them, lol!

I grew up with this game via a friend who lent it to me from time to time (and then by eventually emulating it). And gosh dang, it really holds up for me. The mechanics are so solid and fun to mess with, it honestly inspires me to incorporate a similar feel in a 2D platformer if …

I grew up with this game via a friend who lent it to me from time to time (and then by eventually emulating it). And gosh dang, it really holds up for me. The mechanics are so solid and fun to mess with, it honestly inspires me to incorporate a similar feel in a 2D platformer if I were to ever make one.
So the other day I decided to 100% this game for the first time by collecting all the red gems, and lemme just say, doing so on the magic carpet ride bonus level is the hardest part in the game. I was somehow lucky enough to get them all on my first go, but then before the final boss I accidentally closed the game, so I had to start over and -- dang it took me like 6 tries to get all the gems in that bonus level. What a game.
Also WOAH--!!!

I've only played the Genesis version, but the graphics are some of the best on the system. The developers did a great job making the movie into a bunch of stages and bosses without making it feel contrived. And most importantly, it's fun and true to the movie, which is more than one can say for most movie adaptations.

Played the SNES and Genesis versions.
Both are decent games but nothing too exciting about them. I liked the gameplay more in SNES and the presentation (music, graphics) in Genesis.
Bonus points if you (really) like the movie.
