Game Description
Disney’s Aladdin for the Sega Genesis remains one of the most celebrated platformers of the 16-bit era. Based on Disney’s hit 1992 animated film, players take control of Aladdin as he journeys from the bustling streets of Agrabah to the depths of the Cave of Wonders in pursuit of the magic lamp. With the help of Abu the monkey and the Genie’s fantastic powers, players must outwit the villainous Jafar and win the heart of Princess Jasmine — all while experiencing some of the most fluid animation ever seen on a cartridge.
Developed by Virgin Interactive in collaboration with Disney’s own animators, Aladdin set new standards for visual quality on the Genesis. The game’s hand-drawn animation frames were created by actual Disney artists, giving each movement the same expressive charm as the movie itself. Combined with energetic sword combat, platforming acrobatics, and a perfectly tuned difficulty curve, it offered both cinematic presentation and satisfying gameplay depth that helped it become one of the best-selling Genesis titles of all time.
The attention to detail extends to its soundtrack — a vibrant, faithfully recreated version of Alan Menken’s beloved score — and level designs that capture every memorable moment from the film. From market chases to magic carpet escapes, Aladdin delivers an experience that’s pure Disney adventure. For retro fans and collectors, this cartridge stands as a defining showcase of the Genesis’ capabilities and one of the crown jewels of its platformer library.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Disney’s Aladdin was a technical marvel upon release in 1993. Its “Digicel” animation process allowed Virgin Interactive to transfer actual Disney animation cels into the game — a groundbreaking approach that gave it unmatched fluidity and personality. This version was unique to the Genesis, differing entirely from Capcom’s SNES release, and is often considered the definitive adaptation among fans and critics alike.
The game’s creative team included legendary designer David Perry, who later founded Shiny Entertainment and created Earthworm Jim. With millions of copies sold worldwide, Aladdin became one of the Genesis’ biggest commercial hits and continues to be a must-own title for collectors seeking the finest Disney platforming experience on Sega hardware.
