    I had the Genesis but the game was the same.

    The Game Gear Aladdin game was fucking awesome though. It had a "Whole New World" level where you flew the carpet around the world with Jasmine while a MIDI file of the hit song played over the speaker. You could get killed by jumping horses or flying storks and shit.

    It was also wonderful because the key scenes from the movie played out nearly word-for-word while acted in sprite-format. They even had a Genie-in-a-Goofy-hat-and-Hawaiian-shirt sprite for the ending cinema.

    I never really took to the pre xbox Prince of Persia games.

    Heresy!

    Play the SNES one, it's the best.

    Seeing shit like this makes me wonder how much money nintendo would make if instead of selling a Wii they sold a stripped down version of it that had no DVD player or waggle and that only played old games available at the Nintendo Store.

    Cause while I wouldn't buy a Wii I would sure as shit buy that.

    The Wii doesn't have a DVD player
    Also the biggest problem with a lot of old game releases is the incredibly complicated rights issues
    Especially when dealing with licenses and third party ports

    Fine god, THE MAGIC LASER THAT READS MAGIC DISCS.

    Man, I'm more than happy with the current back catolouge of their games. It's just that for the price they are selling the wii, it's not at a price point that I want to pay.

    Of course, these were the days when a game didn't have to be much more than "not broken" to be really enjoyable

    Aladdin and Prince of Persia were both different on the Genesis than on the SNES, I believe.

    Aladdin was way better on the Genesis, I thought.

    Same with Jurassic Park.

    And Earthworm Jim.

    The SNES version was trash for dumbfags, so it is possible that there's a relationship there.

    No seriously though the SNES one was dogshit. I mean there's just no comparison.

    It's not even a contest

    Seriously, sprites, animations, music, mechanics, even the fucking menu screens. The Genesis version destroys the SNES version in every possible way.

    Except if you like things that suuuuuuck diiiiiick, which I guess you do.

    He kills everyone in both versions, except in the SNES one, he does it by jumping on them or throwing apples exclusively, because having a sword is too cool. Even though he did use a sword in multiple scenes in the movie.
