Aladdin: A great Oriental platformer for Amiga

In this great game release for Commodore Amiga, you follow Aladdin on his quest to win Princess Jasmines’ heart and save Agrabah from Jaffar. It is quite faithful to the movie in terms of both graphics and story although the developers threw in a few extra stages here in there to extent this already quite short adventure. The first stage starts in markets of Agrabah and it look like it was pulled right out of the move. Later stages have you running around in the genies world, ancient pyramids, and finally back to the palace. in terms of gameplay, it is a lot of fun with quite responsive controls. You will be jumping, swinging, and climbing though many levels with the occasional “flying carpet level” where you will be either escaping from the Chamber of Secrets or wooing Princess Jasmine on the “love ride” though the clouds.

You also get to picket up apples and launch them at enemies which is also fun and especially useful against these pesky archers. The game is also quite short and can be completed in about an hour. The graphics of this game looks excellent with tons of colours populating the numerous stages, this makes full of the AGA chipset. Aladdin’s animation is also great although not quite up the quality found in the Genesis version of the game. The catchy tunes from the movie are also present, and really help to make this game feel like an authentic Disney experience. In overall, this game is a short but sweet Amiga platforming game with excelling graphics and music. This game will not take more than an hour, maybe two if you go back for all the red gems. If you love the genre it worth the download…
