You know the story..boy meets girl, boy loses girl to evil sorcerer, boy vanquishes sorcerer and gets girl back. No, it's not Prince of Persia, it's Aladdin. This hand-held version of the Disney flick mimics Prince of Persia with some of its moves, but unlike the former, it's definitely for beginners only.
You've Got Three Wishes
As Aladdin, you run, jump, creep, crouch, and fight your way through the game's seven levels. Throughout, Aladdin has to navigate past obstacles and dodge the Sultan's guards. The game play for each level varies, and it's very different from the Genesis version. Some levels are like a steeplechase, with Aladdin leaping over barrels, across rooftops, and over pits. Others are Prince of Persia-style mazes, where Aladdin has to find keys, open doors, and escape from a labyrinth of passages.
Aladdin lives or dies by a simple damage system, and the only special items he can find along the way are food, keys, rocks to throw in the Palace, and Scarabs (continues). The strategy is in figuring out how to use Aladdin's various moves, which require different combinations of button presses. The only hard part about the game is mastering the moves. They're easy to learn, but not to execute, due to the Game Gear's sluggish controls.
Come to the Kasbah
Aladdin's graphics are beautiful. Nicely drawn backgrounds and beautifully animated characters highlight the action. The game also features extensive animated sequences that tell the story of the movie.
Soundwise, recognizable tunes from the flick jazz up the action. Hum along to Whole New World' and other awardwinning songs.
Like the Genesis version, this cart's definitely aimed at younger and beginning gamers. Intermediate or advanced players will sail through the game in an hour or two, though some levels, like the Palace, are pretty complicated. It would have been better to spend less memory on the ani mated sequences and more on putting better game play into the cart.
One Step Ahead of the Bread Line
Although it's a great-looking game with some good moments, Aladdin's not gonna be what you've been wishing for unless you're a beginning gamer. A whole new world it ain't.
ProTips:
- When youreach the Palace, run to the right as fast as possible to avoid being skewered by a guard.
- The French Bread in the cavern is instant death,
- Cruise through the Cave of Wonders in the upper area, because the lava jets spray out of the bottom.
- If you fall into a hole, you lose a life. It's more important for you jump over the holes than to evade the barrels.
- When you reach this Ion cranlspace in the cavern, tap Left twice on the control pad to run, then hit Button 1 to slide.

Aladdin is an American animated television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation which aired from February 6, 1994, to November 25, 1995, based on the original 1992 Disney film of the same name. The series is set after The Return of Jafar, and picks up where the installment left off.
The series was produced by Alan Zaslove and Tad Stones, who were already renowned for their work on Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck.[2] Many of the films' stars provided the voices of their TV counterparts, with the notable exceptions of Dan Castellaneta filling in for Robin Williams in the Genie role (like in The Return of Jafar), and Val Bettin as the Sultan (who replaced Douglas Seale after the original film). Unlike The Little Mermaid, the series does not feature any musical numbers.
The series originally aired as a preview on The Disney Channel in early 1994,[3] and in September of that year it began airing concurrently on the syndicated The Disney Afternoon block[2] and on Saturday mornings on CBS (prior to Disney's purchase of rival ABC). Disney Channel reran the series from 1997 until 2000. The show was shown on Toon Disney from April 1998 until December 2008.
The series was followed by Aladdin and the King of Thieves, which was released on August 13, 1996, which served as the finale to the series and the Disney's Aladdin franchise.

A total of eighty-six episodes were produced, making this series one of the few exceptions to Disney's then-limit of 65 episodes. The direct-to-video film Aladdin and the King of Thieves marked after the series. It was followed by a guest appearance on November 24, 1998, in 'Hercules and the Arabian Night', an episode of Hercules: The Animated Series. Guest stars intended to be in the series included George C. Scott, Hank Azaria, June Foray, Paul Winchell, Phil Hartman, James Earl Jones and Richard Horvitz, but the makers did not have the time.
Characters[edit]
Main[edit]
- Aladdin (voiced by Scott Weinger): He was originally a street urchin who stole food to survive, but his life changed when he met and fell in love with Jasmine, the Princess of Agrabah. Aladdin is engaged to marry Jasmine and will eventually become Prince and eventually Sultan. He learns of his future responsibilities while protecting the kingdom from monsters, sorcerers and other dangers.
- Princess Jasmine (voiced by Linda Larkin): She was forced by her father to marry a prince, but her life changed for the better when she ran away from home and met the man of her dreams, Aladdin. Jasmine is no ordinary princess as she is strong-willed and wants to live a life where she is free to make her own choices and to not let others control her. Now with more independence, Jasmine starts to experience things that she had never done before.
- Genie (voiced by Dan Castellaneta): One of Aladdin's best friends. Freed from his lamp and able to use his magic freely, Genie helps Aladdin in his adventures to protect Agrabah. However, Genie's magic does not always work successfully, as his powers had been reduced once he was freed. He describes his powers as 'semi-phenominal, nearly cosmic'.
- Iago (voiced by Gilbert Gottfried): Though he may have cleaned up his act, Iago is still very greedy and constantly wishes to have riches and power in his life. Iago inadvertently causes trouble for the gang as he leads them on treasure hunts that turn out to be dangerous. Though he may be bad tempered, Iago is a good person deep down and always does the right thing in the end. Iago also has the talent of being able to imitate other peoples' voices.
- The Sultan (voiced by Val Bettin): Jasmine's kind-hearted father, ruler of Agrabah, who allowed the engagement between her and Aladdin.
- Abu (voiced by Frank Welker): The charming, mischievous, yet closest friend of Aladdin. Abu is known to be a master thief and has his eyes set on gold and jewels. Abu and Iago have become good friends and work together on many occasions to gain money and riches beyond their wildest dreams.
- Magic Carpet: A loyal friend who was once a resident of the Cave of Wonders' treasure room. He is the mode of transportation for Aladdin and his friends, as well as a constant games partner for Genie.
