Next game on the GameGear: Aladdin. This is truly an amazing game, and one of the few I actually completed a couple of times. It helps that it has a password system…

    The game features lots of cut scenes that tell the movie‘s story. This is extremely useful and also very well done. The graphics are some of the best I have seen on the GameGear. Remember: this is a Z80 system with only a few kilobytes of RAM!

      There are two versions: A Japanese one and a World version. The Japanese version seems slightly different apart from the language. The first two levels are action scenes where Aladdin is running through Agrabah and over the rooftops. Both sequences seem a bit longer in the Japanese version.

        These first two levels are impressive and have lots of parallax scrolling, nice colors and even some subtle perspective 3D effects. This is definitely peak GameGear and in my opinion beats the GameBoy version. Disney games on SEGA consoles are mostly VERY good titles.

    @root42@chaos.social it sounds great and I love the MD version. Is this a straight conversion of the MS version?

      @zorrobandito@aus.social no, it is very different compared to the MD version. I guess this version and the MasterSystem version might be the same.
