its crazy how high this set the bar for not only licensed games in general, but 2D platformers of it's time.
the incredibly smooth animation and controls make aladdin feel strangely great to move around as and the way the level design compliments it makes this a short but very sweet game that lives up to it's namesake and makes for a classic

I haven't played the Genesis version so I can't comment on which one is better (it's this one though). But as an action platformer this game just feels so good to play. the feel on the jumps and the bounces and the swinging is all perfect. stands up with the best of them. A diamond in the rough if you will, ho ho ho.
Super tight & compact experience I can easily see myself playing through every now and then whenever I just want to go through a fun platformer. It has such a nice flow in its gameplay and getting good at it feels really satisfying.
Also hot DAMN does the movies music sound amazing in this sound chip. That friend like me remix is gonna be playing in my head for days

Maybe it's because I'm so nostalgic for 90s Disney or maybe it's because of that gorgeous soundtrack, but Aladdin (1993) is a force to be reckoned with in the 2d platforming world. For a 1993 game, it's surprisingly challenging, and even though I caught myself in frustration multiple times, every level completion becomes that more satisfying after beating it. Didn't even think I was gonna finish it tonight but damn, I'm glad I did. (The carpet scene with Jasmine that serves as an interlude is the most beautiful moment of the game)
