These are ALL fairly quick games, FYI. :P
I'd be more than happy to toss in, though I'll likely add in conditions for myself like collecting all jewels in Aladdin.

I'm in for Goof Troop. I haven't played it more than ten minutes.

I'd be in for Goof Troop if I can find a copy. Anyone have an extra to sell/trade?  ;D

Don't even know if I have one, but I'm sure I can find extras if I hunt around for a day.

I only have Lion King on Genesis.

^ The Lion King is the same on the Genesis and Super Nintendo other than some minor sound and graphical differences. Both were made by Virgin Interactive, I do own the game on both platforms. You are right on Aladdin.

Mega Drive - I feel that this version is the most fast and responsive out of the three versions, it has all the important elements intact, and also has the best judged difficulty curve (though its still often considered hard), its easier than the SNES version, but still retains all the levels and bonus stages (unlike the Amiga version).

SNES - For the most part this and the Mega Drive version play fairly similar to each other, but a few differences here and there cause this to be most certainly the hardest version of the game. My reasons for saying this are spread thinly across many different areas so I'll try to list some of the more noticeable ones.

The vultures here are much more aggressive and persistent, in the Mega Drive port when you get to a certain point the vultures will break off the attack and leave you alone whereas here they seem to follow you to the ends of the earth, and will end up in large groups if you do not make sure to kill them.

Simba doesn't seem to jump quite as high here, making some of the easier routes seemingly impossible to take (for instance at the hippo section of the second level you are forced to take the harder swinging route across their tails, whereas in the Mega Drive port you could jump up and climb onto the second level hippo immediately).

The final boss fight is also much harder as it requires quicker reactions due to the panting time being much shorter. Some other elements adding to the difficulty are differences to the swinging and grabbing mechanics (the Mega Drive version uses a much more automated system where you can pretty much just tap the jump button and Simba makes his way up on his own) and the bonus levels tend to be more difficult and seem to give out fewer continues.

You'd be ahead with the Genesis version of Aladdin IMHO.

Since these games are on the shorter side will be some kind of agenda to this? Like first week is Aladdin, second is Lion King, etc?

Lion King:
There are multiple kinds of bugs - bonus bugs, health bugs, power-down bugs. Collect all bonus bugs, collect all bugs?
Pass a certain milestone in Bug Toss (e.g. 20+ bugs in Bug Toss nets you special dialog from Pumbaa). Fully complete the Bug Hunt mini-games without collecting a black widow.
Complete the game in under 30:00.
No damage/deaths on Simba's Exile.
No damage on Stampede.
Complete the falls ascend section of Hakuna Matata in a certain time.

Aladdin (SNES):
Collect all 70 Red Gems and unlock the secret ending.

Almost June, what's the plan?  All games, 1 game, as many as you can conquer, etc.?

Aladdin is a great game for SNES and Genesis. I'll definitely play those. I've never played Lion King.

However, my all-time favorite Disney games are; Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse (GEN) and Rescue Rangers (NES)

Anyone get started yet?  I'm starting on Thursday night myself.

A little too busy to start right now, since my other hobby is taking over much of my spare time, but plan to start Goof Troop soon.  Wife has a few out-of-town trips this month, so I should be able to plug away pretty nicely once the kids are down every night.

I'm going to be Goof Troopin' this weekend with a friend. Going for the "I'm not a gamer loner" achievement! ;)

It only counts if you play thing is the background while attempting to conquer it:

By all means, join in.  It would be good to have a new members perspective amidst those of the ole fogies. :P

Well, I tried Goof Troop (which I never in a million years would've tried if not for this site) and I really like it! I haven't had too much time to play it, but I beat the first stage :)

Also, I think I defeated 5 enemies with the grappling hook. I knocked a few pirates into the water and popped a few porcupines.

Glad that the Playthrough introduced you to a game you wouldn't normally play. :)

Achievement unlocked! Bil should see the post and update it with a point for you.

Got to The Escape level tonight.  Absolutely frustrating controls kept killing me.

Started playing Aladdin tonight.  This game is so Earthworm Jim.

Completed Aladdin (SNES) tonight, no achievements.  I really liked the mechanics and flow of this game. The precison and timing of jumps is challenging and fun. Would have preferred a few more boss fights, but oh well.... I'm sure I will go back and try to complete the gem achievement.

Started Lion King and I can already tell it is going to be a bear.  The jumps feel much lazier and less crisp than most games. Maybe I just have a problem with quadrapeds.

This game is so Earthworm Jim.

A little late to the party but I just beat Goof Troop with a friend (who had never beaten an SNES game). We had loads of fun.

I'll start Lion King on Tuesday. Kind of disappointed that I couldn't track down a copy of Aladdin in time, it sounds pretty good.

The oldies are toughies, but they're very rewarding. You feel very smart and capable when you solve a puzzle or defeat a big boss.

The Lion King shouldn't give you too much trouble. If anything, learn the patterns of the enemies and you'll be fine.
