Trivia
It was #13 in FLUX Magazine's (Issue #4) Top 100 Video Games of All-Time.
On the Genesis, in the level "Escape from the Sultan's Palace", you can spot Sebastian from Disney's Ariel the Little Mermaid hanging in chains!
In the background in the "Inside the Lamp" level, you can see a Sega Genesis in the background!

In the Desert level for the Genesis (and other versions I believe), there's a clothes line with just some clothes and a Mickey Mouse hat!

The 2D animation for Aladdin and the other characters of the game were done by actual Disney animators and artists who worked on the film.
In the level where Aladdin has to escape from the Palace Dungeon, eagle-eyed viewers may spot a familiar set of mouse ears located on one of the skulls in the background.
Interestingly, the SNES version of this game is different from every other version. (That is because SNES version was made by CAPCOM, not Virgin. --Ed.)
Aladdin had digital music throughout the game, using .AMF files, a digital module format similar to .MODs. (AMF is the format used by Otto Chrons' Digital Sound and Music Interface, or DSMI. Another game that uses DSMI for sound, albeit a bit badly, is Archon Ultra. --Ed.)
