Sorry to sound like a child, but does anyone happen to know where I can buy a PC version of the SNES version (<.<) of Disney's Aladin?

I used to play it a lot when I was young, and with all this Sonic and Rayman nostalgia, I wondered if a PC version might exist somewhere.

Thanks in advance for any help.

This one? DOS and Windows are listed as platforms for that, and I remember playing it on someone's computer or something ages ago. No idea where to get it though.

Not quite, I mean this one :)

There were a few versions, but they were all a bit different (like Rayman).

Sounds like a fair answer, sadly I can't get one here without paying quite a lot for shipping. Sega have PC versions of the Genesis and Mega Drive classics - how come Nintendo hasn't done the same?

Anyways, I guess that's solved, thanks for the help.

Genesis Aladdin > SNES Aladdin

the pc version of this game is way better than the snes version. This game kicks major butts! I can still remember that difficult magic carpet ride, good times.

Is it for sale anywhere? I remember the Genesis version being boringly easy - you actually had to think a bitin the snes version.

I don't know, if it is you have to do some internet digging. I haven't played it since the mid 90's but i still remember it's awesomeness.

Because Nintendo don't want to sell their games on anything but their own consoles? TBH, I think Sega would be the same if they were still in the console business.

I realise Nintendo didn't make the Aladdin game, but I'm sure whoever owns the rights wouldn't dare release an emulated version without Nintendo's permission.

Nintendo have been selling Mario on PC since the mid 90's.

*Edit: I see they haven't released the main platformers on PC though, which does kind of support your point.

ROMs are legal in a myriad of circumstances.

It pretty much comes down to the ethical problems of ROMs. (Which are very minimal in my thought.)

That depends a bit on where in the world you are. And while it might be legal to make a backup of a game that you already own, there are also some legal issues with using emulators (much like cracking games are not entirely legal, even if you own them. The ToS states that you may not tamper with the copy protection). I don't think anyone will come knocking on your door for preventing star force from preventing you from playing your game, but it is technically speaking not alright for you to do so.

Interplay made the edutainment games. Philips also made a semi-official Mario game (the infamous Hotel Mario).



The SNES version of Aladdin was the easier one of the two, though it also had tighter controls, and far better sound (the Mega Drive/Genesis soundchip was rather dire in comparison to the SNES soundchip). The SNES rendition of "A whole new world" is quite impressive (it can be heard ), though almost all the songs in the SNES Aladdin were mere memorable. Just listen to the SNES rendition of [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fixsN-Dp6xo&amp;feature=related]never had a friend like me.
