3rd one was pretty. good.. for snes(or super famicom. i call it. snes).. as i remember... i dont know about now .. but i have pretty good memeries about them...
I beat Aladdin for the Genesis when I was like 9. It wasn't that hard.
Also, I played the SNES version at my friends house when I was a kid and I remember being kinda pissed that Aladdin didn't have a sword, not that that makes it a bad game or anything.
I really enjoy your review style. It's simple to the point yet seems really sincere. It's refreshing not to have the person reviewing constantly acting silly or being obnoxiously loud. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy videos from AVGN and the like, but the HVGN has made a fan out of me. Don't change what you are doing. :)
Hell yeah! I agree all the way! The SNES version of Aladdin is better than that overrated train wreck called the Genesis version which was made by Virgin Games who also made that abomination known as CYBERCOP! And other crap like Mick & Mack and Super Caesar's Palace.
Thanks for mentioning Castle of Illusion. It's one of my all time fav genesis games, but it seemed like no one had ever heard of it. Even to this day the Giant and the Witch are some of my favorite bosses.
it's kinda funny when you talk about the Magical Quest games. I mean I never got to play them as a kid either, but I still found them pretty fun despite a few short comings (that dash button would've made a hell of a difference xP).
Even though they're not the most fast paced games, they had a few unique, fun quirks to it, especially the costumes. Funny you mentioned the grappling hook cuz, I never really had a problem with it. xD
I respect your preferences nonetheless. Great reviews dude! :D
Oh, come on the Genesis Alladin was not THAT hard! I beat it in just a week, which back in the day, when I could only get new games on Christmas and birthdays, meant that it was pretty damn easy and kinda short...
I think genesis version is the same as on PC and it was hard and I never beat the final boss. But it isn't as hard as Lion King, because I never even got to the final boss.
@spiersaz being realistic, who cares about the IG anymore? Anyways, being serious now, the IG's review is justifiable for a few reasons:
1) He had to cheats to reach the end and even makes a cocky statement about the game being too easy
2) He never bothered learning all the controls (such as clicking R to use Aladdin's shirt as a parachute to reach that red gem he kept idiotically jumping at)
3) all the irate trademarks such as being uninformative and boring, so on and so forth.
I love the magical quest 1, i use to play it as a kid... god it's was hard but acctuallly is really short i can beat it now in 1 hour, and the first boss is really easy, you just have too spin his "kids" and throw them too him.
You LUCKY ones. In USA the Aladdin game looked awesome. But in my country, Hummer Team played dirty. They ported this game to Famiclone devices ( Istill own them). And you don't belive it. IT WAS PRETTY GOOD. So either way: If you own a licensed Aladdin in your NES: Throw it tp the garbage, the unofficial is way better.
Hey, the HVGN should do an episode that compares SNES games to Genesis games, some games the genesis does better than SNES, and i'd like to know which.
I know The Genesis version of Toy Story is better, because it has an extra level the SNES version doesn't, i'd like to know which other games Genesis did better too.
Aladdin isn't just underrated on the SNES, and it's not just a great platformer, i'd say its one of the BEST platformers ON the SNES, i know thats saying alot, but yeah, it really is, if you look on some emulator sites, its in the top ten downloaded snes titles.
I like it so much, it was one of the first games i ever beat, i even remember the code i memorized after beating that tough lava wave stage, Genie, Jafar, Aladdin, Abu!
I loved both Ducktales and Chip 'n' Dale on the NES,but the Capcom/Disney partnership really hit it's stride in the 16-bit era.I was lucky to own both consoles and the Game Gear and Game Boy,both of which had tons of great games made by Capcom from the Disney Library.
I suspected he was nuts when he suggested Magical quest was less than amazing. I KNEW his tastes were awful when he said that king kong,and the rocky games were anything more than shit
As a kid, and even still as an adult, One of my favorite games was Kid Chameleon for the Sega Genesis and I would love to see you review that. It has everything you look for; challenging gameplay, an amazing soundtrack and tons of variety.
@TinyClocks I think I need a good explanation on why Kid Chameleon was so "classic" and "amazing", because as a kid and even now as an adult, I just can't get into it. It's just very... Boring to me. I just need someone to tell me why it was so great.
Maybe it's nostalgia. Maybe it's all the cool helmets. Maybe you have bad taste in video games. (I'm just kidding.) Personally, Kid Chameleon was one of those few games that I could sit and play for hours on end and never get tired of, regardless of how many times it chewed me up and spit me out. I can see how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but I absolutely loved it.
@TinyClocks I mean, don't get me wrong, I LIKE the game, but I could never see it as any kind of classic. Maybe I need to spend some more time with it.
@TheCineMatt Considering the strong fanbase that it has, yes. All of them are good (though I'm on the border about KH:CoM (GBA game)). There's a total of 6 Kingdom Hearts games, not counting the cell phone games.
I remember Aladdin for the SNES very well, because it was the first video game I managed to beat! Uh, well... Actually, I just found out the password for the last boss by pure coincidence. But who cares?! ^^°
It is still my favourite SNES Disney title and I prefer it much over the Sega version, which is in no way a better game just because you have a weapon in it. -_^
I really REALLY hate the fact that IG is even mentioned in the same sentence as HVGN. The two are completely different. IG hates games because he thinks it's funny, HVGN lets us know which underrated games are awesome and which we should check out.
@chosentonessournotes Well then, quit complaining about it. There are countless Chinese proverbs on that, y'know. And rule 19 of the Internet is relevant.
I knew about the SNES version of Alladin probably from Nintendo Power, if not there then from the complete SNES soundtracks I got from SNESMusicdotorg
I''m the other way around with Aladdin..I didn't know there was a genesis version. I loved the SNES version and continue to play it today. Awesome game. And I've since played the genesis version, and still prefer the SNES version.
I didnt think that the genesis version of aladdin was hard. Me and my brother got to Jafar when we were like 7 years old. Lion KIng was hard as hell though. Never got past the waterfall stage.
Are you goign to review EVO? While i do agree it's horrily underrated, the game is very very far from perfect. And that's sugar coating it. It's almost broken.
too bad that whole "driving force of creativity" thing is kinda out dated because of Keji Inafune leaving. Now I'm not saying capcom sucks now but I'm saying that megaman will never be the same and that some of the other series(s) that Keji was working on will probably have lost some of their charm and or awesome(ness) (in the long run).
@ 1:53 man although you're horsing around, not a bad voice.
oh yeah, Since capcom was under license with Disney when it came to Nintendo- i wish you would try out the work Virgin did for Disney with the Genesis.....well, that's a hope, not really a request though.....
The genesis version of Alladin has a difficulty setting in the options menu. The easier the difficulty the more lives you have at the start, enemy's take only one hit to kill and you have more apples at the start.
I always loved the Magical Quest series. The 1st one is probably the best one, with #3 coming up second. I've been playing games since 1991, and I know that those games are better than what you think.
YES! EVO! I loved the crap out of that game, until it just stopped working due to age for me. I hope you review that game because THAT is a real under-rated gem.
@SonicOrbit01 just saying, if I was to make a video of a game series, I'd make sure I had all of them first. unless a game was really rare and over priced, then I'd say screw it, but give it a shout out anyway. before you think I'm being nitpicky..... Derek insults me on the podcast, I'm in pain :(
You know for a "happy" video game nerd, you swear way too much and it really detracts from your credibility. Still this inspires me onto my collection.
Oh god... Aladin. It was actually one of my first games, right with The Lion King, Jurassic Park, soon Loony Tunes game that I don't remember, and even The Wheel of Fortune xD Until we sold them all... Or they got lost in the closet of death. Either way, we're not getting them back anytime soon.
capcom did make solid disney games, but I prefer Kohnami games. I'm sorry to say it but you rate capcom disney games lightly. Most are good but the few that were are pretty bad with not much for a saving grace on that note.
A very fun, insightful and engaging mini-series you made here. I salute you, sir!
Someday I'd like to see you look at the Disney/Sega and Disney/Virgin games in greater detail, as I think they're all worth talking about. These days, outside of really notorious cases like Fantasia, they tend to get overshadowed by the Capcom games so most Internet reviewers don't talk about them. I for one would love to see you talk about them.
it is such a pile of shit, all he bitches about is Abu(which take two minutes of the review and is pointless), the red diamonds, and two levels that are kinda cool.
at 0:53 i can't disagree more. the genesis version is not too bad in diffuculty until the end. But the Snes version pisses me off so much before I can even get out of the cave! It's impossilbe! And It really doesn't have many tracks from the movie, while the Genesis used many songs from it.
@mistertitanic You forgot to mention the Genesis version DIDN'T follow the plot of the movie, and it played Prince Ali on the first stage before he even became a prince. Plus, he never fought Azim in the movie, AND he never used a sword in the movie except for at the end when he fought Jafar. And don't tell me "OH! WHAT ABOUT THE PYRAMID STAGE IN THE SNES VERSION?!" because that was just minor filler. Shinji Mikami said the Pyramid Stage was added to increase the length of the game.
@ClassicGameLover It follows all the scenes in the movie. There is nothing wrong with the music playing before the actual scene. At least it's fucking there unlike the Snes version. The sword was added in so you aren't totally defenseless like in the Snes version where you only have apples and jump on people. By far, the Genesis version is better, and follows the movie much better than 99% of movie licensed games.
@mistertitanic No it doesn't! Explain to me how it follows the plot of the movie better when I just pointed out how it doesn'! I think you're just a Sega fanboy that can't accept the fact that the SNES won the 16-bit wars and had superior hardware and games. And the SNES version had the music from the movie too (playing in the RIGHT places too I might add, like the instrumental break in One Jump Ahead in level 1). And the bosses made more sense too like the guy Jasmine stole from as 1st boss.
@ClassicGameLover Yes, I love Sega. The Genesis is my favorite system. The Snes version follows the movie? Only having TWO songs from the movie? What the fuck are the first 4 levels all about? just running around like a shithead throwing apples at people and jumping on their heads. Second stage, Where the fuck was there a cave that early in the damn movie? The Snes version sucked balls, and I have almost every Snes game. I find the Genesis to be superior in every possible way
@mistertitanic SNES=The first boss is the guy Jasmine stole the apple from which makes much more sense.
Genesis=The first boss is Azim, when Al didn't even encounter him in the movie.
Oh yeah, and that cave stage is the Cave Of Wonders, which IS in the movie. Did you even fucking watch it?! And Virgin is a shitty game company. They relased that train wreck of game called Cybercop! And other crap like Mick & Mack and Super Caesar's Palace.
you should talk about the sega disney games on the genesis they where the best on that system

Who does drink wine like that? But anyway, great reviews, after watching some of them i subscibed ;)
Ps: did you ever heard of "the guardian legend" for the NES? In my eyes the probably most underrated game evvar, yet alone its soundtrack!

Are you goign to review EVO? While i do agree it's horrily underrated, the game is very very far from perfect. And that's sugar coating it. It's almost broken.

I want that snes vs genesis alladin video.
too bad that whole "driving force of creativity" thing is kinda out dated because of Keji Inafune leaving. Now I'm not saying capcom sucks now but I'm saying that megaman will never be the same and that some of the other series(s) that Keji was working on will probably have lost some of their charm and or awesome(ness) (in the long run).

@ 1:53 man although you're horsing around, not a bad voice.
oh yeah, Since capcom was under license with Disney when it came to Nintendo- i wish you would try out the work Virgin did for Disney with the Genesis.....well, that's a hope, not really a request though.....

The genesis version of Alladin has a difficulty setting in the options menu. The easier the difficulty the more lives you have at the start, enemy's take only one hit to kill and you have more apples at the start.

I always loved the Magical Quest series. The 1st one is probably the best one, with #3 coming up second. I've been playing games since 1991, and I know that those games are better than what you think.

YES! EVO! I loved the crap out of that game, until it just stopped working due to age for me. I hope you review that game because THAT is a real under-rated gem.

@SonicOrbit01 just saying, if I was to make a video of a game series, I'd make sure I had all of them first. unless a game was really rare and over priced, then I'd say screw it, but give it a shout out anyway. before you think I'm being nitpicky..... Derek insults me on the podcast, I'm in pain :(

You know for a "happy" video game nerd, you swear way too much and it really detracts from your credibility. Still this inspires me onto my collection.

Oh god... Aladin. It was actually one of my first games, right with The Lion King, Jurassic Park, soon Loony Tunes game that I don't remember, and even The Wheel of Fortune xD Until we sold them all... Or they got lost in the closet of death. Either way, we're not getting them back anytime soon.

capcom did make solid disney games, but I prefer Kohnami games. I'm sorry to say it but you rate capcom disney games lightly. Most are good but the few that were are pretty bad with not much for a saving grace on that note.

A very fun, insightful and engaging mini-series you made here. I salute you, sir!
Someday I'd like to see you look at the Disney/Sega and Disney/Virgin games in greater detail, as I think they're all worth talking about. These days, outside of really notorious cases like Fantasia, they tend to get overshadowed by the Capcom games so most Internet reviewers don't talk about them. I for one would love to see you talk about them.

have you seen the Irate "Gamer" review of Aladdn?
it is such a pile of shit, all he bitches about is Abu(which take two minutes of the review and is pointless), the red diamonds, and two levels that are kinda cool.
and the "acting" is shit
burf12345 1 year ago
at 0:53 i can't disagree more. the genesis version is not too bad in diffuculty until the end. But the Snes version pisses me off so much before I can even get out of the cave! It's impossilbe! And It really doesn't have many tracks from the movie, while the Genesis used many songs from it.
mistertitanic 1 year ago
@mistertitanic You forgot to mention the Genesis version DIDN'T follow the plot of the movie, and it played Prince Ali on the first stage before he even became a prince. Plus, he never fought Azim in the movie, AND he never used a sword in the movie except for at the end when he fought Jafar. And don't tell me "OH! WHAT ABOUT THE PYRAMID STAGE IN THE SNES VERSION?!" because that was just minor filler. Shinji Mikami said the Pyramid Stage was added to increase the length of the game.
ClassicGameLover 5 days ago
@ClassicGameLover It follows all the scenes in the movie. There is nothing wrong with the music playing before the actual scene. At least it's fucking there unlike the Snes version. The sword was added in so you aren't totally defenseless like in the Snes version where you only have apples and jump on people. By far, the Genesis version is better, and follows the movie much better than 99% of movie licensed games.
mistertitanic 5 days ago
@mistertitanic No it doesn't! Explain to me how it follows the plot of the movie better when I just pointed out how it doesn'! I think you're just a Sega fanboy that can't accept the fact that the SNES won the 16-bit wars and had superior hardware and games. And the SNES version had the music from the movie too (playing in the RIGHT places too I might add, like the instrumental break in One Jump Ahead in level 1). And the bosses made more sense too like the guy Jasmine stole from as 1st boss.
ClassicGameLover 4 days ago
@ClassicGameLover Yes, I love Sega. The Genesis is my favorite system. The Snes version follows the movie? Only having TWO songs from the movie? What the fuck are the first 4 levels all about? just running around like a shithead throwing apples at people and jumping on their heads. Second stage, Where the fuck was there a cave that early in the damn movie? The Snes version sucked balls, and I have almost every Snes game. I find the Genesis to be superior in every possible way
mistertitanic 3 days ago
@mistertitanic SNES=The first boss is the guy Jasmine stole the apple from which makes much more sense.
Genesis=The first boss is Azim, when Al didn't even encounter him in the movie.
Oh yeah, and that cave stage is the Cave Of Wonders, which IS in the movie. Did you even fucking watch it?! And Virgin is a shitty game company. They relased that train wreck of game called Cybercop! And other crap like Mick & Mack and Super Caesar's Palace.
