Item Description

Few Disney films were made for a platformer quite like The Lion King, and Virgin's adaptation became one of the signature movie games of the mid-'90s. This Game Boy edition, developed by Dark Technologies and published by Virgin Interactive, carries that adventure onto Nintendo's handheld. You begin as young Simba, pouncing on critters and testing out a roar that is more squeak than thunder, then grow into the adult lion who has to fight his way back to Pride Rock.

The stages follow the film's story. The cub explores the Pride Lands and the shadowy Elephant Graveyard, where hyenas prowl among the bones, before the wildebeest stampede turns everything into a desperate run for survival. Exile leads into the lush jungle of Hakuna Matata, and the grown Simba picks up a more powerful set of attacks for the long road toward the final confrontation with Scar. Dark Technologies scaled the 16-bit design down to suit the hardware, rendering the film's big set pieces in four-shade form.

Like the console versions it came from, this is a demanding platformer. Jumps need precise timing, enemies punish carelessness and some stretches ask for real patience, which is exactly why players who grew up with it remember finally reaching Pride Rock. The film's melodies, squeezed through the Game Boy's sound chip, have a chiptune charm of their own.

It reached North American stores in the spring of 1995, while the film was still everywhere, and gave Game Boy owners a pocket-sized take on the Disney hit. Shelved beside the Super NES and Genesis cartridges it rounds out a Lion King set nicely, and it is a fun way to relive Simba's story on real handheld hardware.
