Aladdin II is a bootleg Sega Mega Drive port of the official SNES version of Disney's Aladdin, originally made by Capcom in 1993. This port can be considered the "opposite" of Aladdin 2000, a bootleg port of Virgin's Aladdin for the SNES.
Overview[]
The game is a port of the SNES version. It features all the stages from the original game, although with different color palettes. The game only has some predefined enemies and they have the same color palette in every stage.
Unlike the official SNES version, the Mega Drive port lacks the minigames that appear on completion of a stage. The game still shows a Continue screen once the player loses all their lives, but lacks Aladdin's monkey Abu (who does not appear outside of cutscenes).
The sound effects are from the original game, but slowed down and compressed, and the music seems to be remade from the original.
Trivia[]
- Hercules 2 and Lion King 3 may have reused assets from Aladdin II, as both contain enemies and level graphics from the SNES Aladdin.
- The ROM headers of Aladdin II, as well as the bootleg Mega Drive platformers Pocket Monster and Pocket Monster II, are near identical to each other, suggesting that they may share the same developer.
- In-game, there is a debug screen the player can access. The debug screen can be accessed by pressing A, B, & C at the same time. The debug screen is a crash handler, which shows the 68k registers and the current stack (which appears to be set to the very first address in RAM), you can navigate by pressing up or down in the D-Pad as well. You can press Start to exit the debug screen. The color palette of several sprites become corrupted as soon as you turn it on, but change back to normal when the character dies or after you beat the current stage.
- The theme from the first level is not based on the music from the SNES version. However, it does closely resemble the Western Desert theme from Barver Battle Saga: Tai Kong Zhan Shi.
