The romance with Princess Jasmine is deemphasized, the game instead focusing more on Aladdin’s personal journey from a street rat just scraping by to finding the Genie’s lamp and trying to take down the sultan of Agrabah’s traitorous vizier Jafar. A video game adaptation has a lot to work with, and while the quality of a film has never been a guarantee that the game based on it will be good, Disney’s Aladdin on Sega Genesis might also be one of the best game adaptations of a Disney animated feature.ĭisney’s Aladdin follows the story of the 1992 film pretty closely, interspersing small moments of text between its ten levels of play. With top notch animation, every song being memorable, and some amazing comedy that mixes dialogue and slapstick thanks to the talents of Robin Williams as the Genie and Gilbert Gottfried as Iago the parrot, there’s a lot to love in it, with everything held together by a story that keeps things moving along. Aladdin might just be one of Disney’s best animated films.
