The Game Boy Color was a gateway to magical worlds in the late ‘ 90s. Amongst its fascinating offerings was the touching tale of Aladdin. As players plugged in their handheld marvel, they were transported to the busy streets of Agrabah, a city full of mystery. On the small screen, it was like a story book–a pixelated adventure. Aladdin, the players were that (man), exploring markets and avoiding Jafar’s sinister plots; engaged in frantic swordplay. With each button press, Aladdin tumbled through rooftops and magically landscapes like an animated throwback. Indeed, everyone from escaping the deadly Cave of Wonders to flying on magic carpets turns every moment into Disney’s Aladdin. The Game Boy Color carried off dazzling graphics and silky play in a fond fest for our memory albums. The screen of the handheld flickered, casting a light on faces captivated by pixel magic. Aladdin on the Game Boy Color was a classic story of unbridaled adventure told by two video-game caliphs. It merged Disney’s magic with handheld gaming, and made history in the process! These images of pixels and melodies became memories spanning the ages.
