ALADDIN IS IN THIS BUNDLE. I feel that I have to put this in bold and at the top of the review because the game unfortunately has a bunch of negative reviews because people are falsely saying that only The Lion King is available in this bundle (or that Aladdin is only available in black and white, which also isn't true). This is partially the developer's fault for sticking a DLC-only version of Aladdin first in the menu, but all you need to do is go right, and voila! You'll see a bunch of playable versions of Aladdin. If you've played these games, you already know them. If you haven't, they were pretty challenging back in the day. However, new features have been added to tackle the difficulty of the games (and this was an artificial difficulty - the developer of The Lion King openly talked about how they had to create levels with sudden, almost ridiculously, jacked-up difficulty in order to make sure the game kept getting rented). A rewind feature means you can instantly rewind back if you've just made a mistake, which will be a god send to a lot of people. I played these as a kid, and I still really enjoy them. I especially love the music. I think the price is a bit steep for two rather old games, even with the new features and various versions, but when it goes on sale, I'd definitely recommend grabbing it.

i only got lion king what the heck

The Graphics are poor on a big screen get ready to be disappointed And enjoy the eyestrain I asked for a refund soon as I saw these version they are not as clear as displayed. on the advert unless you are thinking on playing it on a very small screen. if you remember the CRT TV screens with lines across the screen but in this case vertical. their was no need to do this they could have made it a solid sprites.

ATTENTION !!! The title of the game is completely misleading! Because it advertises TWO games, but in reality only the LionKing game can be played in color! Aladdin can only be played in black and white, but it is unenjoyable. "Demo version." If you want to play in color, you have to buy another DLC add-on on steam. So.. the two games are not actually 20 Euros, but 20+10=30 Euros! I'll tell steam this too: There's nothing wrong with something costing X Euros. The problem is with the incorrect description. By the way, the new menu is very nice, LionKing runs great, plus a lot of other interesting things have been added to the menu, such as a museum.

I cant play aladdin with this game pack, just lion king? seems a little misleading....

Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King is a carefully assembled celebration of two of the most iconic licensed platformers of the 16-bit era, presented in a way that respects their legacy while making them playable and approachable for modern audiences. Developed by Digital Eclipse, a studio known for its archival expertise, the collection feels less like a simple port and more like a curated museum exhibit that invites players to step back into a time when Disney animation and video games briefly aligned to create something genuinely special. From the moment it launches, the collection communicates its reverence for the source material, emphasizing preservation, authenticity, and historical context rather than flashy reinvention. The gameplay experience remains largely intact, preserving the demanding design philosophies that defined early-90s console platformers. Aladdin focuses on swift movement, careful timing, and combat built around throwing apples and swinging a sword, with levels that emphasize verticality and cinematic flow inspired directly by the animated film. The Lion King, by contrast, is slower, more deliberate, and famously unforgiving, placing players in environments that demand precise jumps, environmental awareness, and mastery of Simba’s limited moveset—especially in the game’s early stages. Both titles retain their original difficulty curves, which can feel harsh by modern standards, but they also showcase how tightly designed and visually expressive these games were for their time. One of the most significant strengths of the collection is how it layers modern convenience on top of classic design without undermining it. Features such as instant rewind, save states, and level select dramatically reduce frustration while still allowing players to engage with the original mechanics on their own terms. These tools are especially impactful in The Lion King, whose reputation for difficulty has discouraged many players over the years. Rather than trivializing the experience, these options make experimentation and learning more accessible, encouraging players to appreciate the craftsmanship of each level instead of being driven away by repeated failure. Visually, the games remain striking decades later, thanks to hand-drawn animation techniques that translate beautifully to high-resolution displays. Character movements are fluid and expressive, environments are rich with color and detail, and iconic moments from both films are recreated with remarkable fidelity. Optional display settings, including aspect ratio adjustments and CRT-style filters, allow players to tailor the presentation to their preference, whether they want a clean modern look or a nostalgic approximation of playing on an old television. The original soundtracks and sound effects are preserved as well, reinforcing the strong emotional connection many players have with these titles. Beyond the games themselves, the collection’s archival content adds substantial value. A built-in museum mode offers concept art, design documents, and behind-the-scenes material that sheds light on how these games were developed and how Disney animation techniques influenced their visual style. This material contextualizes the games historically, highlighting the collaboration between animators and programmers at a time when licensed games were often rushed or disposable. Here, the extra content transforms the package into a genuine historical record, appealing not just to players but to anyone interested in game development history. That said, the collection is not without limitations. The overall amount of gameplay content is modest, and players unfamiliar with or indifferent to retro platformers may find the experience brief once the nostalgia fades. Some fans have also expressed disappointment over missing versions or variations that exist outside the base package, which can make the collection feel incomplete depending on one’s expectations. Additionally, while the difficulty aids are welcome, they cannot fully mask the fact that these games were designed for a very different era, with trial-and-error mechanics that may feel dated to newcomers. Community reception reflects this balance of appreciation and restraint. Long-time fans tend to praise the faithful emulation, thoughtful enhancements, and respect shown to the original works, while newer players often view the collection as an interesting historical snapshot rather than a must-play platforming experience. The consensus is that the value of the collection depends heavily on one’s relationship with these games—whether as formative childhood memories or as curiosities from gaming’s past. Taken as a whole, Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King succeeds as a preservation-focused release that honors two beloved classics without attempting to modernize them beyond recognition. It offers a polished, respectful way to revisit—or newly discover—these games, complete with tools that soften their rough edges and archival content that deepens appreciation for their creation. While it may not convert skeptics of retro design, it stands as a strong example of how classic games can be reintroduced thoughtfully, preserving their identity while ensuring they remain playable and relevant in the modern era. Rating: 7/10

A much less brutal version of the classic Disney Aladdin and The Lion King games. There are some good accessibility options to make the games easier and they play well and are just how I remembered them as a kid. It's been rewarding to make progress and experience parts of the originals that I never got the chance to do when I was younger!

Solid collection but holding games this old and content that should have been in the game from the start behind a 10€ paywall is bonkers. You are better off emulating them for free.
