(Finebros) Today, you will be playing on this.
(underwhelmed) Wow.
I-I think I saw the dust fly off it.
Whoa. All right, the Genesis.
Very old.
Genesis? I've never played a Sega Genesis.
I see that it's Aladdin, so I'm already excited.
Aladdin. Hey, shout out.
Is that supposed to be a hardcore game
that I just don't know about?
Or is it just Disney Aladdin?
It's the "I can show you the world" song.
They're doing the music of "It's a whole new world".
(Finebros) You get four lives at the start of the game.
- Let's see how far you can get with that. - All right.
All right.
You know, now that you handed me the controller
I'm a little more scared.
Okay, "Genie bonus level",
"Abu bonus level".
"Extra health", your "health meter".
"Spend these", "1 up".
Too complicated already. I give up.
"In Agrabah, a faraway land of wind and sand,
a young street rat named Aladdin must steal to survive.
Meanwhile, Jafar, the Sultan's advisor,
plots to take over the kingdom by stealing a magic lamp
from the perilous Cave of Wonders.
Our story begins on a dark night..."
"Agrabah Market".
The "Ag-rah-buh" market? I'm saying that right?
Let's do this. I'm ready.
(Finebros) Here are the basic controls:
- A is to attack by throwing apples. - Okay.
- (Finebros) B is for your sword. - (swishing sword)
(Finebros) And C is to jump.
♪ (Aladdin, "Prince Ali") ♪
Um, I have some swaggy Disney music to listen to.
Ah, I suck.
Oh, already wasted an apple. We're doing good.
So I just have to kill people, kind of?
So this is like a fire walking pit
so I'm gonna jump over that.
As I suspected, it is a side-scroller.

Come at me. Come at me, bro.

(Finebros) So what'd you think of this Disney game?
It was really hard.
Like, harder than other games that I usually play,
which is weird because it's Aladdin.
It wasn't anything like the Disney movie,
as in it wasn't enjoyable or fun for kids.
Most games are too easy.
This one's kinda hard and it's fun to have a challenge.
Being that old, over 20 years old, it's not bad at all.
If I had this game system at my house,
I would go home and I would play it to the end,
even if I died another 30 times.
For me, it's worth playing. I thought it was fun.
