Lion King 3 & Aladdin 2 (NES Homebrews)

Retro STrife · October 2017

These are two bootleg/pirate carts for the NES-- Lion King 3 and Aladdin 2. I picked up both recently from a fellow collector in a trade, just because they looked interesting. Both are platformers based on the Disney movies. Lion King 3 allows you to play as either Simba, Timon, or Pumbaa. Aladdin 2 uses the names of characters and locations from the Aladdin movie, but doesn't really resemble them very well. I've tried both and neither is a particularly great game, but Lion King 3 is the better of the two.

Anyway, I'm curious if anyone has any background info on these games, such as when they were released and by who? I'm also curious if anyone has any estimates on value? I couldn't find anything on ebay, so I assume they don't show up there too often. Thanks in advance

They're better classed as bootlegs rather than home brew games. They're basically pirate cartridges, taking advantage of the Disney characters.

Good point. I've made a little edit to my first post to reflect that.

Nothing on the other one except this quote on a Youtube video "Chinese crappy version of the licensed NES Aladdin game. HORRIBLE"
