Disney's Aladdin
Disney's Aladdin is a 1993 platformer developed by Virgin Games, a licensed side-scroller based on the animated film. The Genesis version was notable for animation drawn by Disney's own artists, giving it a fluid, film-quality look uncommon in games of the time.
The game followed the movie's story across Agrabah's streets and rooftops, the Cave of Wonders, a magic-carpet escape and the sultan's palace, mixing sword combat with acrobatic platforming and apple-throwing to stun enemies. Its striking visuals, lively renditions of the film's music and polished, responsive action made it one of the most acclaimed and best-selling movie tie-ins of the 16-bit generation.
Disney's Aladdin is remembered as a high point for licensed platformers, and it has resurfaced in modern collections that preserve its handcrafted animation for players who want to revisit a beloved classic.
