Aladdin (Virgin)

Aladdin is a Video game of platform developed and published by Virgin Interactive in 1993 on Megadrive. Versions Amiga 1200, DOS, Game Boy and BORN also were born. The play was carried out according to the license of the same name of Walt Disney Pictures.

Developed under the direction of David Perry ( Total Gladiators , Cool Spot , Earthworm Jim ), the play was very appreciated on 16 bits, in particular for remarkable qualities of its animation and its graphics. It should be noted that the drive version mega was carried out in an amount of time very runs for a play of this scale and this with a reduced manpower working almost night and day to buckle the development within the deadlines. A play of this quality developed under these conditions devoted very the good reputation of David Perry and his team in the medium of the editors of video game and made it possible Perry to create his own company: Shiny Entertainment.

Not to confuse with Aladdin of Capcom, left on Super Nintendo the same year which is a very other play, nevertheless based on the same license.
