A playthrough of Sega's 1994 movielicensed based platformer for the Sega Master System, Aladdin.

The Master System version was a Europe release, but the US did get the Game Gear version (which is the same game, just on a lower resolution screen).

The 8bit Sega Aladdin games (developed by Sims) have little in common with the famous 16bit games based on the film, but it's an impressive piece of work. There's no doubt that this is a HUGE step up over the abysmal NES game (the official one, at least!).

The graphics (especially the animation) and the sound are amazing for a SMS, and it nails the many of the movie's big moments and motifs with a slam dunk. It also seems to be aimed at a younger audience than the other versions this game is stupidly easy. Not only are the stages themselves simple and quick to get through, but you also have unlimited continues and a password save system. It seems overkill for such a short title, but the game is fun regardless. I do imahine, though, that it would probably been less easy to appreciate if you had paid full price for it new.
