I have an issue. I bought Aladdin on the Genesis about two weeks ago from a guy on Ebay. When I tried playing it, the game froze once I started playing on level 1. I tried cleaning the game, and my console, but it always froze within 10 seconds of gameplay. Strange thing #1, the game wouldn't freeze if I just sat there and let Aladdin just do his idle animations. Nor did it freeze at any time on the menu screens.
Strange thing #2, I returned the game assuming it just didn't work, and I bought another copy. I just got it and tried playing it, and it does the exact same thing. My genesis plays every other game I own perfectly. It's only Aladdin that doesn't work. Why do two completely different cartridges freeze the same way? It doesn't make any sense to me, does anyone else understand this?

what model is your genesis? maybe you should open up the cartridge and check for piracy.

Pic related is the model of Genesis I have. Does that matter, though?

I would look for corroded contacts.
