morciu: the pc version of this game is way better than the snes version. This game kicks major butts! I can still remember that difficult magic carpet ride, good times.

MonstaMunch: Is it for sale anywhere?
No and if I were you I wouldn't expect it to ever be on sale again. It is a well known fact that most movie-based videogames all but disappear from the market rather soon due to licensing rights expiring, and considering this was coded twenty years ago by Virgin using the rights to a Disney franchise, the odds of a deal for a new distribution working out are almost null.

Another of the reasons why movie games disappear is, they're generally so terribly bad that nobody in their right mind would ever think of giving them back. Sadly, the few good games that come out of movies (Only two good movie games I know are The Lion King and Aladdin, on their PC versions) end up suffering because of this.

Most of the old Disney games were at least passable, though many could even be considered to be good. Beauty & the beast was not as good as Aladdin or The Lion King, but it was hardly a bad game. The Little Mermaid was too easy, but rather decent. And almost all of the NES/SNES Disney games that were not direct movie tieins were very good (Chip & Dale, Duck Tales 1-2, Goof Troop, Talespin, Quackshot, Darkwing Duck, Magical Quest series, Mickey Mania, well those are the ones that I remember)

This is generally true, but I can think of a couple of other exceptions:

- Terminator. Sadly I don't remember the specific titles that were good and I'm aware a lot of crap ones were made, but I had a brilliant Terminator game for my Mega Drive. I've just started playing ARES and it's exactly the same but with updated graphics. I also had a great one on the original Game Boy.

- Die Hard. Again, I don't remember the name of which two out of the 3 I liked, and they made me kind of sick, but they were great games. I had them on my Saturn while my friends had them on their Playstations (I didn't get a playstation until a few years later when they got cheaper).

- Bladerunner. Oh the memories......

- Golden Eye 007. The first game I ever got upset about not being able to play. All my friends spent hours with it on multiplayer, and I couldn't join in because it made me sick :/

AFnord: Duck Tales 1-2, Goof Troop, Talespin
These were some of the best games I've ever played, in terms of the amount of enjoyment I got from them at the time, with the exception of talespin. I got it when I was really young at a time where I was allowed a new game about once every 6 months, so picking out a new game felt like a very, very big deal. I got Tailspin because I liked the cartoon and the artwork on the box (without even looking at the game tbh, I was a young kid), then I got home, immediately hated it, and had a massive tantrum. Without me knowing, dad took it back to the guy at the shop and begged him to swap it for a different game, which he did :)

The game I ended up getting instead was brilliant. I've been trying to remember the name of it for years but can't :(
