This game was very beloved in 1995. It was considered the last great triumph for Sega Genesis. I don’t know if it’s remembered as such today, but it resonated with the public when it was new.
I'm not sure about being forgotten. You could say the same for Disney's Aladdin for Genesis (another classic), but I think they're both well known to the console as far as Disney games go.
That level actually was almost complete in the beta version of the game, but NOA had stupid policies. Sound-wise, the Sega CD version had better music.
As far as movie games go, this is pretty good. Like some old movie games have nothing to do with the film and have stupid enemy designs and such. The gameplay mostly relates to the movie. But I do like the nightmare sequence in the toy box. It is a nice addition to the game
Piece of jewel!!!! My first choice would be the Sega Genesis version. Those of us who know programming know and are very clear about the following: 1) the genesis had twice the processing power capacity of the snes. It is very fast and never slows down. It makes the game much smoother and more enjoyable to play 2) the famous mode 7 of the snes and the 3d rotations, the genesis could do them without the need for special chips for that, and that is clearly demonstrated in many games of the time. 3) By the processor could achieve much more moving wallpapers and Sprites on screen etc... 4) as everyone mistakenly believes, the genesis did not have a simultaneous color limitation and its available color palette was not 512, in fact that was the base and more colors came out of it, reaching almost 2,000 available colors, and about 200 simultaneously colors in moving images. 5) the famous transparencies of the snes genesis could be achieved without any problem with the light and shadow technique and had two other techniques to achieve it, dithering and by frames. 6) the sound of the genesis is much clearer because it does not use samples, but instead generates the audio itself with an internal instrument it has, and generates it in real time and could also play samples such as voices in a completely clear way, being able to achieve not only one but three channels of samples for it sounding at the same time. The quality depended on the quality of the sample that was introduced, that it was more or less compressed. But it did not depend on the machine. 7) While the snes only worked with samples and for that reason they were totally compressed samples and they sounded very bad, to save space. That's why most games sound very muddy and sound like they're inside a box or behind a wall. To understand it better, it was as if it had an internally compressed MP3 player, but it did not generate its own sound as the Sega Genesis did. I only know of very few games that have good sound. The only positive thing that the snes has in terms of sound is that it had a special internal system to achieve reverb and delay, so they could achieve a little more depth in the sound. Although the genesis also had techniques to achieve it but it was more complicated, that's why the sound of the genesis sounds drier to us, but that is easily solved by taking the audio from the genesis to a reproduction equipment and adding that delay or reverb effect of external way and problem solved. 8) the aesthetic appearance of the Sega genesis is incredible, classic and elegant while the aesthetic appearance of the snes is actually horrible, it looks like a cart, only the wheels are missing. 9) a higher screen resolution, the snes is seen with less resolution and more blurry, not sharp 10) the only advantage of the snes over the sega genesis is that it is much easier to program for it and many things could be achieved more easily. That is why I see the Sega genesis as an exclusive console dedicated to only experienced programmers, the quality depended on the programmers and not on the machine, the snes is one more console of the trade, but even so the genesis broke the face of the snes in European territory by far. That's why I say that the snes would be my second option, and I'm not detracting from the fact that it also has incredible games. All the best
I remember my brother playing this game. And I'm pretty sure it was on the Sega Genies. I don't think he may it past fighting Nightmare Buzz but I think that was my fault.
So many good memories watching my children playing (and secretly playing myself lol).. the soundtrack is as classic as the game itself. Sega Genesis had some really decent games.. Aladdin, Moonwalker (showing my age)
The cartridge didnt have enough space for one more song. Plus, the snes version is lacking some other sound effects, cutscenes, a whole level and some music are incomplete too.
sguinn91 ok, maybe your right, but what I don't understand is why did developers made it run at 60fps since at that time (1990s) televisions were locked at 30fps? (30hz) that doesn't make sense!
sonicfanfirst Sorry, man. I don’t know the answer to that one. I was a little boy during the console wars of the 90’s I didn’t think about the type of hardware they used back then. But this game does run at 60 fps. Sorry. I wish I could give the right answer.
sguinn91 no problem, it's just that people say that games In the 90s were all 60fps, but I already serached a thousands of websites through Google and nobody can prove to me that those games ran at 60fps, they could show me a video with a fps tracker, of any mega drive game, but no one does that, what I don't understand is why would developers develop games at 60fps in 90s if TV's that time weren't 60hz... But don't worry if you don't know the answer, let's see if someone will answer me and explain this better. But thanks for being helpful! 😉
sonicfanfirst hey, no problem. And seriously, all games run at 60 fps? Ummm, no. Ha ha ha, not even close. Obviously, these people on the internet with that kind of answer don’t know what in the heck they’re talking about half the time.
This game is so old it has to be on the oldest console alive, the Mega Drive, or The Sega Genesis in America. Also on a very old 1988 console, the SNES, or the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
Lol what? It still looks good and the sound is good for the Genesis. Unless you think basically all Genesis games haven’t aged well I don’t see how this one aged badly
