Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King will include the fan-favorite versions of each original title, featuring up-scaled graphics to support high definition displays and additional upgrades to enhance playability.

Join Aladdin and his sidekick, Abu, as they race through the marketplace toward their date with destiny. Relive Aladdin’s classic adventure as you travel through Agrabah, the Cave of Wonders and more to defeat Jafar and rescue Jasmine.  Jump, fight, dodge and carpet-ride your way through this adventure, collecting gems along the way.  The Lion King brings to life the majesty and mystery of Africa through the tale of Simba, a lion cub faced with the challenging transition to maturity. Now, you too can be part of the adventure!  Driven into the wilderness by his evil uncle Scar, Simba finds salvation and Hakuna Matata with Pumbaa the warthog and Timon the meerkat.  Tackle heinous hyenas in the elephant’s graveyard, avoid the trampling hooves of stampeding wildebeest as you battle through 10 levels to ensure Simba claims his rightful place as The Lion King.

Fans will be able to revisit these beloved games and take advantage of a variety of modern support options, including instant save states, a “Rewind" button to jump back up to 15 seconds, level select, invulnerability, infinite lives, and an “Interactive Game Viewer.” The Interactive Game Viewer enables players to view full game playthroughs, with the ability to skip forward, jump in, and start playing at any point.

The collection also includes a brand-new “final cut” of Aladdin and an original Aladdin “tradeshowdemo” that has not been publicly available since 1993.
