The Aladdin game from Virgin is a side-scrolling platformer based on the 1992 animated Disney film.
The player controls Aladdin, who must navigate through several levels set in locations from the movie, including Agrabah's streets and rooftops, the Cave of Wonders, and the Sultan's dungeon. He faces obstacles such as the Sultan's guards and desert animals that try to hinder his progress. Aladdin can defend himself with his sword or by throwing apples, which he can also collect to gain extra lives and continues. Additionally, he can trade these gems for bonus items like extra lives or rewards from a traveling trader.
Throughout the game, finding specific icons such as Genie or Abu will trigger special rounds. The Genie bonus round is a game of luck where Aladdin can win apples, gems, or extra lives. In Abu's bonus round, the player takes control of the little monkey and must catch falling items without touching unwanted objects.
The game features humorous animations created by Walt Disney Feature Animation.
