Item Description

The Lion King is the rare movie tie-in that players remember for the game itself. Westwood Studios built this 1994 platformer for Virgin to coincide with Disney's film, and rather than coasting on the license, it offered fluid, film-quality animation, a sweeping 16-bit rendition of the soundtrack and a difficulty curve that has become the stuff of playground legend.

The game tells the story through Simba's growth. In the early stages he is a cub, pouncing on enemies and using a small roar to flip and stun them, bounding through the Pride Lands and the vivid, animal-stacked chaos of “I Just Can't Wait to Be King.” Later, grown into an adult lion, Simba plays like a different animal entirely: he swipes, mauls and throws enemies, and the fights against hyenas and leopards become far more physical. Between stages, Timon and Pumbaa host bonus games built around catching bugs, a playful break before the next challenge.

The setting and music are a big part of why it lingers. The Elephant Graveyard drips with menace, the jungle of “Hakuna Matata” glows, and the final showdown with Scar atop a burning Pride Rock is a fitting climax. The soundtrack reworks Hans Zimmer's score and the film's songs for the Super Nintendo with real care. And then there is the Stampede, a pseudo-3-D run toward the screen as wildebeest thunder past, a level that has broken countless young spirits and is still the first thing many players mention.

Alongside Aladdin and The Jungle Book, it helped define the Disney platformer of the 16-bit era, and it was a huge seller in its day. Playing it on original hardware is the best way to remember both how beautiful it looked and how hard it really was, and it is a rewarding challenge for any platformer fan willing to learn its rhythms.

About the game

The Lion King brings to life the majesty and mystery of Africa through the tale of Simba, a lion cub faced with the challenging transition to maturity. Believing himself to be responsible for his father's death, Simba enters the wilderness - where he finds salvation with Pumbaa the warthog and Timon the meerkat, and his education begins. Take control of the young cub Simba and, through interaction as detailed as the lust terrain, guide him safely through.
