2 Classics, and bonuses too!
This collection comes with both Disney's Aladdin and Disney's The Lion King. There are multiple versions of each game, which is a big draw to this collection. You get both the SNES and Genesis versions of The Lion King, AND Gameboy versions as well. You don't get the SNES version of Aladdin since it's a completely different game made by a different company, but you do get the Genesis version in different forms. You get the original, plus a trade show demo, which is just 3 levels, and not all feel finished (it IS just a demo). You also get a final cut version, which has added features. The biggest draw to me is the rewind feature. Now I'll be able to see past a first few levels of The Lion King! This is a great collection worth your time if you're in to older games. Both games are challenging, and all the bonus stuff is nice. Only real drawbacks are that this doesn't include The Jungle Book, which was another Disney game made by the same company, and the three games form a sort of Disney trilogy of classic platformers. And lastly, though there is very little input lag, which is a common problem with these types of retro collections (Sega Genesis Classics collection is unplayable to me), it still isn't perfect, but that has more to do with modern TVs and not so much with this collection. These are actually very well done ports/remasters. The games themselves are pretty short, less than an hour if you know what you're doing, so it's up to you if it's worth the price. The different versions and bonus museum features add value for me, plus the games themselves are great and classics for a reason.

Nostalgic stress
These games are HARD. How did I beat these when I was a kid? Absolutely awesome package, but unless you are a HUGE fan of the original, wait for this to go on sale for $15, $30 is a bit steep. I can only imagine how much harder Lion King will be for this current "unlimited lives" generation. 3 lives, 2 continues. Made to play over and over again until you memorize the levels, if youre newer to gaming and enjoy Cuphead, you're on the right track. Fun and addicting. If youre a lover of Disney and 16-bit goodness, get this game.

Happy
Got this game for my grandson he loves it and it brings my daughter back to when she was a kid she had these games as well. Only downfall is it’s the same graphics from back in the day

Great game
Playing both these games brought back a lot of memories from when I had both these games in the 16-bit days. The save state feature is a nice upgrade because both games can get a little tough at times.

Great retro classics
Great remaster over some of awesome Disney classics. I remember playing these when I was young and they still hold up after 25 years. Definitely recommended for the nostalgia trip.
