Years ago I inherited my wife's family's Game Gear. After a recap, and replacing the backlight, I started tracking down games to play on it. It's been great exploring a whole library of games that I skipped out on as a kid! (I was a Nintendo kid) Now I have a nice little library of carts to play on this beast of a 90's handheld.

Aladdin is a better game. I think the difficulty spike on Lion King makes it a gem for a lot of people. I just can't wait to be king was life changing and one the most satisfying things to beat.

Agreed. Aladdin was a lot of fun to get through!

I made it through a decent amount of Lion King, but I've never beaten it.

I've beaten it 1 time. I got super dedicated , was determined to beat it and did. This conversation is making me want to revisit it and give it another run.

Is Aladdin for game gear the same as for Genesis? I just got my game gear adapter for my Pocket and I’m looking for good games to get, and that one is pretty cheap locally. I loved the genesis version but have long since lost my genesis, so it would be cool to play it again if so!

Not the same as the Genesis version (IIRC), but I believe the Master System's game is the same as this Game Gear version.

Still a fun little platformer if you are seeing it for cheap somewhere.
