Play Aladdin Online

Capcom released Aladdin for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993. It was a time when licensed games were often simple cash-ins, but this one stood out because of its direct involvement from Disney animators. The game arrived during the peak of the 16-bit era, competing with other visually impressive platformers on the system.

You control Aladdin through a series of side-scrolling levels set in Agrabah and the Cave of Wonders. Your main goal is to rescue Princess Jasmine from Jafar. You use a scimitar to slash at enemies like palace guards and skeletons, and you can also bounce on carpets and swing from ropes. A key mechanic is finding and throwing apples to stun distant foes or hit switches. The game is known for its challenging platforming, with precise jumps required over bottomless pits and across moving platforms. The overall experience feels fluid and responsive, with the character moving exactly as you direct him. Playing it feels like guiding a character through a living, interactive cartoon.
