| Disney's Aladdin | Virgin (NMS Software) | 1994 | The game from Virgin based on the 1992 animated Disney film is a side-scrolling platformer. The player controls Aladdin, who must make his way through several levels based on locations from the movie: from the streets and rooftops of Agrabah, the Cave of Wonders and the Sultan's dungeon to the final confrontation in Grand Vizier Jafar's palace. The Sultan's guards and also animals of the desert want to hinder Aladdin in his way. He can defend himself with his sword or by throwing apples. Next to apples, Aladdin can also collect gems which can be traded for lives and continues with a traveling trader. Finding Genie or Abu icons enables bonus rounds. The Genie bonus round is a game of luck played for apples, gems or extra lives. In Abu's bonus round, the player controls the little monkey who has to catch bonus items that fall from the sky, but without touching any of the unwanted objects like rocks and pots. The game's humorous animations were created by Walt Disney Feature Animation.*** [46]*** [27] | NES | labelimagesubject |

In the future well beyond our knowledge, the knights of hyperspace are playing their version of JOUST. They saddle up the space ostrich, and fight with aliens. You must adjust yourself to this unknown environment called hyperspace. You are not fighting for fame or glory, you are fighting for your own life. Knock the aliens off before they get to you. It is not an easy task, but somebody must do it. Can you be the survivor of this space fight? Good Luck! Believe me you will need it.***This game was completed and all the cartridges, boxes and instruction books manufactured in 1984. But Atari canceled the 7800 and packed them all away in a warehouse. A year or so after 7800 production had resumed, they stumble across them and began shipping the 'new' game. | Atari 7800 | labelimagesubject |
