GOG doesn’t dig up quite as many retro games as it used to, but when it does, they’re always worth it. The site’s latest haul is three of Disney’s old-school platformers — The Lion King, Aladdin and The Jungle Book.
As the GOG announcement explains, the games weren’t mere cash-grabs, but excellent, stand-alone products:
Developed during the golden age of platformers, Disney Aladdin, Disney The Lion King, and Disney The Jungle Book established themselves as hallmarks of the genre, earning the praise of fans and critics alike for over two decades.
That was due in no small part to their groundbreaking visuals. With the advent of Digicel technology, hand-drawn cels from Disney’s animation team brought the characters to life with a level of vibrancy that was unparalleled at the time, and remains impressive today. Just look at how adorable little Simba looks when he roars at his enemies!
Each game is available for $13.59, though they’re currently discounted by 10 per cent. However, if you get all three as a bundle you can save 33 per cent, with the individual prices working out to be $9.09.
The deals are available for another day and a half, so if you’re looking for a hard hit of gaming nostalgia this weekend, look no further.
