Beauty and the Beast is a bootleg Iranian videogame by Maham Samanpajouh.[1] Based on the homonymous Disney movie, it was published for Commodore 64 in March 1995,[1] being the first Iranian videogame in history, as it predates Ali Baba and the Forthy Thieves of Bagdad by eight months.[2] Some sources claim the game was indeed released in 1996.[1]

It was developed by Maham Samanpajouh, with graphics by Reza Shamsian; who were 16 at the time.[2] With music taken from different places,[3] the game also copies the gameplay and takes various assets from the Last Ninja series, especially the third installment.[1] Never meant for commercial release, according to the developer, it was released around March 1995 in some Iranian computer stores,[1] selling less than 230 copies.[2]
