Disney has to get their cut.yikes, those prices! 2.99 a pop would more than enough.

I just remembered that when Lion King for DOS originally launched, most people couldn't actually play it because the game would just crash after the title screen
Luckily the GOG version doesn't seem to have this issue like the 1.0 version did.
Would have been odd for them to release it if it did lol
Oh shit. Hope they release Maui Mallard on there as well.
They all had PC versions iirc.
Actually, that's MOD music ;P. I remember listening to the Aladdin title music in FastTracker for the vocal chorus, after I had seen the film for the first time.All three games had DOS ports...
Aladdin (1993, DOS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_jf6NAc-bo (That MIDI Music)
Disney's the Jungle Book (1994, DOS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZTDGSwRRnQ
The Lion King (1996. DOS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fv6TscQ1Qc
I briefly tried Aladdin on DOS before, coming fresh off the Genesis version, and yeah, the thing that stuck out the most (aside from the MOD music) is the game's 30Hz framerate compared to the original's 60Hz. I did notice that Toy Story on Windows 95 has the same issue; forget if the demo of Maui Mallard was also 30Hz or not. Game felt okay otherwise?
Speaking of Maui Mallard, I don't exactly anticipate it, on the grounds that it was a Windows 95 release, not a DOS one. I mean, their version of Toy Story for Win95 doesn't work on WinXP, let alone Win7/8/10, so my hopes for Maui aren't high as such.
That level was purposely designed to prevent people from completing the game through a two day rental period.
One of the developers that worked on the game explains this in a Double Fine "Dev's Play" video: https://youtu.be/kILeyo1iv0A?t=1110

Wow, I had no idea. What an interesting thing, the idea that devs had to design AROUND the rental market...
This is the Virgin Games version of Aladdin I assume? Blah.
For some reason, I had no idea there was a Jungle Book game. Played Aladdin and Lion King a lot back then, but Jungle Book? Huh.
Anybody try these out yet? Are they in fact the 30hz versions, rather than the 60hz Genesis versions?
id kill for a version of maui mallard's pc port that didnt require me to emulate win98 to play it on modern machinesOh shit. Hope they release Maui Mallard on there as well.

The prices are way too high on these.I get that their are a lot of groups that need to get paid Disney, Virgin (maybe), and GOG. But even Nintendo doesn't charge this much for their classic snes games.

Earthbound was a lone special case, Nintendo's standard pricing for SNES games is $7.99.Pretty sure I paid $9.99 for Earthbound which is the same price these will be when the discount goes away.

They are the original DOS releases, but I have no idea if they altered anything. The DOS PC version of Aladdin is the most butchered of these ports from its Genesis version,
The DOS version runs at 30Hz and has a cropped screen.
Genesis screenshot for comparison...
Sure, one special case like I said. The higher price was also to help justify putting the pdf strategy guide online.I was responding to someone who said "But even Nintendo doesn't charge this much for their classic snes games."
And earthbound is $9.99.
The "Play Sega" USB Saturn controllers that Sega made a while back are pretty good. They were going for super cheap recently too.

Nintendo's released 50 SNES games for $7.99 each, and 1 for $9.99.
