The real question: Toy Story for Genesis/SNES or Toy Story 2 for N64/PS1/PC.

They either haven't or they've played the game enough to become desensitized to its amateur-hour flaws.
SNES game is way better; it's precisely and carefully designed whereas the Mega Drive game is slapdash, with frequent unfair deaths (thanks to wonky collision detection) and frustrating sequences. Still enjoyable, but there's no contest for me.
The SNES version is actually a good game and not a tech demo, so this one.
Toy Story 2 is an incredibly easy but pretty solid 3D platformer for its time. It can still be enjoyable even now.
I think SNES Aladdin indeed has much better and judicious use of color for the scenery.

honest question did anyone here managed to beat aladdin genesis?
I don't know, I've only played the PAL one, and thought it was pretty stupid hard. The collision detection was a constant issue, especially in the lava cave, and felt like I was fighting the assets as much as the actual platforming and combat design. The game's got a bunch of blind jumps, and moving platforms that don't spawn until you get close enough, leading to cheap deaths if you don't know these levels by heart. Seems pretty by design though, because the game also likes to guide your jumps with visible apples, only for that trajectory to lead straight into hazards.I don't understand, the game is really easy.
The only hard part was the magic carpet level.
I beated the game multiple times
Perhaps the game is harder in USA version (i played PAL one)

This is pretty much all that needs to be said.
There was a LOT of fuss around Dave Perry and his work at Virgin/Shiny at the time and the games did look incredible, but collisions, legibility, platforming, level design and difficulty balance of those games have always been questionable. Unfortunately both gamers (the audience was considerably younger on average back then) and the specialized press were over the moon for those games thanks to the amazing graphics and animation.
The SNES version of Aladdin was always going to look the poor man's version compared to the Genesis game, but its gameplay is easily the better of the two.
Mind you, SNES Aladdin still isn't much more than an easy-peasy, 7/10 game at best. This is another reason why the Genesis version won the confrontation by a landslide back then and it's fondly remembered (the full-scale war between Genesis and SNES certainly helped polarize people's opinions). After all, movie tie-ins had to look and sound good above everything else. They weren't supposed to last beyond the movie's season.
Same here.Today I learned there were two Aladdin games. Thanks OP! I played the Genesis one, so my vote goes to that one.
Honestly don't see how the Genesis version isn't readable, but maybe that's just from playing it so much.I think SNES Aladdin indeed has much better and judicious use of color for the scenery.
Cave of Wonders in Genesis? Everything is blue.
On SNES you got a more dynamic range of colors and a clear division between the foreground and background elements. Also notice how the area on the ground that you actually interact with clearly stands out. OTOH what is this mess?
About the same thing happens with the use of color during the lava sections
This just speaks to Capcom's expertise and know-how when it comes crafting this sort of game.
I have so much nostalgia for the Genesis Toy Story (dem graphx) but I will admit I lose interest in it fairly quickly if I try to replay it nowadays.Toy Story 2 on PS1. It's not even a question. The Genesis Toy Story game is similar garbage to the Genesis Aladdin. It cares more about "looking good" than being an interesting and well designed game.
Toy Story 2 is an incredibly easy but pretty solid 3D platformer for its time. It can still be enjoyable even now.
The real question: Toy Story for Genesis/SNES or Toy Story 2 for N64/PS1/PC.
I go for the one that plays better. SNES you have my vote.
Someone should attempt a fan game that merges the art of the genesis game with the gameplay if the SNES game. It would sell MILLIONS.
Another example of impressive visuals vs. an actually good game.
#UnpopularOpinion :
I really dislike Aladdin on Genesis, especially the level design. I'd rather play Aladdin on SNES.
