Aladdin (USA)

Aladdin gameplay context

Released in 1993 for the Sega Genesis, Aladdin stands out as a masterclass in 16-bit platforming, blending Disney magic with satisfying arcade-style action. I still remember my first playthrough, grinning as the detailed sprite of Aladdin leapt through the bustling streets of Agrabah, feeling almost like a living cartoon.

• Hand-Drawn Animation Perfection
  Animators painstakingly rotoscoped directly from the film's CAPS animation system, giving Aladdin a signature slickness you could feel in every run and swing.
• Versatile Swordplay Platforming
  Unlike some platformers of the era, you can slash directly with your sword (mapped to C on a Genesis pad) or use jump-stomps, offering strategic flexibility in every guard encounter.
• A Collect-A-Thon in the Desert
  Searching every nook for shimmering 100-gem rubies, extra life hearts, or tossing apples at enemies to stun them created a loop I'd always lose hours to.
