We’re today adding a NES prototype of Disney’s Aladdin, which was released by Virgin Games in 1994, only in PAL regions. What makes this special is that this is a NTSC build recovered and dated 23-08-94 and seems to be very close to final (though there are a number of glitches present). It has been stated that the NTSC version was never released until now.
Throughout the menus and the game itself, there are sprites not quite shaded properly, and with sprite glitches. We didn’t notice anything else at this stage, though if you spot anything majorly different, please do let us know. In particular, there could be content further in the game which isn’t quite finished.
With thanks to Mark Greenshields for allowing us to preserve these prototypes.

This prototype seems to work on NTSC systems and the sound tempo is adjusted for NTSC. The final game doesn’t and crashes on a black screen on NTSC, the sound tempo is adjusted for PAL.
Thanks for the confirmation! I’ll update the post later today and also post out that this is a lost NTSC version. A nice bonus surprise overall!
