I loved that game back in the day. Haven't played it since I got rid of my Genesis back when I got my ps1, but it left an impression on me. Looking back, it's hard to believe I could beat the game easily, without dying. For the lamp level, I knew the exact spot to jump to for that one small platform, and it was never an issue for me.
I was pretty good at those kinds of games back then though. I tried playing Sonic 2 again when I picked up the Ultimate Genesis Collection, and I'm not nearly as good as I used to be(I'd have all the chaos emeralds by act 2 of the Casino Night Zone). That makes me wonder if I had more balls as a child than I do now. Then again, I'm used to modern games now, whereas back then, I just had a Genesis. Moreover, it's not like I had a million games for the system, so I played the games I had over and over again till I got good at them. Back then, there was no controller more comfortable for me than a Genesis controller, but I played my friend's Genesis a few years ago, and the controller feels completely alien to me now.
Anyways, Aladdin was one of my favorite Genesis titles, mostly because I was obsessed with Aladdin at the time, but also because the game is pretty good. Granted, it has been just about a decade and a half since I've played it. Still, the fact that I still remember it has to count for something.
