Despite being an advertisement for 7 Up, this platform game about Cool Spot's quest to collect 7 Up spots is really good, winning fans and even awards for its music. Cool Spot can shoot soda bubbles in eight directions, and can jump and grab onto things like balloons. The game features challenging gameplay and smooth graphics. Cool Spot searches for spots in a number of beach levels, and can rescue a Cool Spot who is locked in a cage when he collects enough spots, which depends on the difficulty level. If he collects enough spots, he can go to a bonus level. A time limit prevents you from taking forever to find all 100 spots in each level. Virtually identical to console versions of the game. Only the first level is playable in the shareware demo. DownloadsCool Spot Shareware Demo (409k) AvailabilityVirgin Games no longer sells this game.

Based on the Disney animated movie, Aladdin must escape capture in the marketplace and, ultimately, defeat the wizard Jafar to save the kingdom. The animation is extremely smooth and looks very much like the movie. Aladdin can throw apples and fight with a scimitar, as well as jump and climbing. There are save points within levels so that Aladdin doesn't have to start the level from the beginning if he is defeated. The game is virtually identical to the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game from which it was ported. Among the impressive music and voice acting in this game is a vocal rendition of "A Whole New World" at the title screen. There are 10 levels in this game, with only the first level playable in the shareware demo. DownloadsDisney's Aladdin Shareware Demo (1336k) AvailabilityVirgin Games no longer sells this game.

Based on the Disney animated movie, Simba must survive long enough to grow up and avenge the death of his father. The animation is extremely smooth and the game looks very much like the movie. The Lion King was acclaimed for the quality of Simba's animation. Simba crouches, jumps, and pulls himself onto ledges so realistically that he seems like a real lion. Simba can roar at enemies to stun them, or kill them by jumping on them. When he grows up, he can also slash them with his claws. Virtually identical to console versions of the game. The soundtrack features songs from the movie. Only the first level is playable in the shareware demo. DownloadsThe Lion King Shareware Demo (1336k) AvailabilityVirgin Games no longer sells this game.
