Embrace your adventurous inner child with The Lion King, Aladdin, and The Jungle Book!

Good stories never fall out of style. And if someone knows how to tell a proper fairytale, that's got to be Disney. Today, three of their most celebrated, charming platformers of yore based on such tales are coming back, exclusively on GOG.com. Disney Aladdin, Disney The Lion King, and Disney The Jungle Book are all household names that still captivate our imagination, decades after we got introduced to their cinematic and videogame worlds.

That's why GOG.com and Disney heave teamed up to bring these beloved classics of the 16-bit era to a new generation of gamers and Disney fans. All three titles have been meticulously updated to be compatible with modern operating systems while preserving the original graphics, sound, and gameplay.

Developed during the golden age of platformers, Disney Aladdin, Disney The Lion King, and Disney The Jungle Book established themselves as hallmarks of the genre, earning the praise of fans and critics alike for over two decades. That was due in no small part to their groundbreaking visuals. With the advent of Digicel technology, hand-drawn cels from Disney's animation team brought the characters to life with a level of vibrancy that was unparalleled at the time, and remains impressive today. Just look at how adorable little Simba looks when he roars at his enemies!

Return to these beautiful worlds, full of that unmistakable Disney charm and wondrous sense of adventure. <span class="bold">Disney Aladdin</span>, <span class="bold">Disney The Lion King</span>, and <span class="bold">Disney The Jungle Book</span> are available now, DRM-free on GOG.com and you can get them for 10% off individually, or for 33% off as a <span class="bold">bundle</span> of heartwarming joy until August 8, 12:59 PM UTC!

rampancy: Wow, that was unexpected.

Are these the emulated SNES or Genesis versions, or did they actually get released on PC/DOS/Windows?
Same here. I want to know^^
This is completely out of nowhere, but very exciting!
What a surprise.
Thank you gog.
I was expecting something from Bethesda and got these.
Now that's how you should troll people. :P
I will never pay 9.99$ to play these though.
Nice, I played 2 of them and liked it, long time ago.
Hopefully more Disney classics are on the way!

damien: all good games. I have fond memories especially with the Lion King. As far as I remember, PC versions were inferior (pretty sure about Lion King) though.
Performance issues? Elaborate, please.

As I said above, they were actually released for DOS. Or at least Aladdin and Lion King were. And they both looked and played almost the same as their respective Mega Drive versions. The SNES ones were different.
Awesome releases, thank you Disney & GOG! <3

IF the PC version is similar to the Genesis version, we got that. I didn't see a password screen for Aladdin so I KNOW it's not the SNES version.

Well, not exactly out of nowhere: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/games_that_are_unofficially_confirmed_for_release_in_the_future_part_2/post4481

Although I bet most people were expecting/hoping new Lucas Arts adventures rather than actual Disney games. :P
Alladin and The Lion King... Watching the screenies made me shed a tear. I loved these games. Thx GoG!

It's defiantly not the SNES version as far as Aladdin, it's the better one.

Not what I was expecting or even hoping for today, but nice release regardless GOG.
Oh.

So no Tron 2.0 today.

Also, those pricetags for games inferior to the console versions are ridiculous.

Nice surprise!

Except for the fact that Disney and GOG decided to put regional pricing (with higher price points than the base price) on the games (which are 22 and 23 years old).

Anyone else remembers "We need regional pricing to bring brand new AAA games here, but we won't do it for our classic catalogue."?
Awesome additions to the catalogue, though seriously overpriced.
Great releases thanks a lot!

Impaler26: Neat Releases but an asking price of 9.99€ for each is too much IMO. Usually such old games cost $5.99 on GOG so why make an exception for these?

Has anyone played these games on PC? I wanna know if they are the same as the SNES/Mega Drive versions and if they have any pros/cons over the console versions.
Agreed. They're classics of the genre, but imho 10 bucks for the whole set would have been a more appropriate price point. Oh well, at least the Mouse hasn't completely forgotten about GOG.
