Classic Disney games 'Aladdin', 'The Lion King' and 'The Jungle Book' are to be re-released.

Good Old Games has made the trio of hit titles from the 90s available to buy on PC, and they are compatible with the latest operating systems.

While you can play the titles on a new computer or laptop, they will look exactly the same as they did back in the day with 'Aladdin' released 23 years ago in 1993.

Sega Megadrive gamers will be pleased to know that GOG appear to have opted for that version of the 'Aladdin' game - which was also out on the NES, SNES and Game Gear - to re-release.

In 'Aladdin', players took control of the titular hero as they battled through various levels, made up of the Cave of Wonders and Sultan's dungeon among others, until they got to power hungry Jafar's palace.

'The Lion King', released in 1994, was a similar side-scrolling platform game in which gamers controlled Simba through the events of the film, and 1994's 'The Jungle Book' was very similar but players had to guide a young Mowgli through the levels.

What's more, tech fans will also be amazed to note that the file size of 'The Lion King' is just 18MB.
