Aladdin (Sega Genesis)

It is as Wiki has said, the SNES version of Aladdin and the Genesis version are vastly different. And to cut it quick and simple, the Genesis version is better if not a lot more difficult and unforgiving.

The differences between the two games are quickly apparent when you have played both of them so close to one another. The similarities, beyond the story and the fact they are platformers, are also very obvious. Lets check out both, differences and similarities as seen, by Solve Unamusement.

First thing anyone will notice after booting up the game is that Aladdin has a sword, a scimitar to be exact. However, the apples will hit enemies from afar and are always in plenty so don't be afraid to use them. The game is still short, like the one for the SNES, but it is also noticeably longer. The music for both games were obviously very similar, as well, though one of the two smash the other to no end in comparison. One bit point, gems in the Genesis version actually had a point to them. Gems were used to buy extra levels as well as "Genni Wishes" or "Continues" as one might call them.

Lets break this down a little.

Aladdin zSNES

Short, simple, amusing platforming and moderately okay controls equal up to a short and fun gaming type of experience. Firstly, lets get that big SNES mark up, out of the way.

Wiki Says:

Disney's Aladdin is a video game based on the 1992 motion picture of the same name. Unlike some cross-platform games of both then and now, the five versions (Sega Mega Drive, Super NES, Sega Master System/Sega Game Gear, Game Boy and NES) are each different games.

That is why this is being specifically pointed out as the SNES version, the "Z" is simply the emulator I use to play SNES games (ZSNES). Mainly as that is the only version which was played, personally. Clearly the games are not exactly ported to every system at the time, either. So, again, this is a look at only the SNES version. The easiest way to share the game without actually sharing is to provide a video walkthrough.
