Tiny Simba hops on bugs, then grown Simba swipes at hyenas with janky but weirdly fun animations—those monkey vines will test your patience, but the 8-bit "I Just Can’t Wait to Be King" will stick in your brain forever.

Game Overview

I first played The Lion King on the Sega Master System back in 1994, a release by Virgin Interactive Entertainment. It was one of those licensed platformers that felt right at home on the 8-bit hardware, sitting alongside other Disney titles of the era. The game followed the movie's story pretty closely, which was a big part of its appeal at the time.

You control Simba through various stages of his life, from a cub to an adult lion. The main goal is to survive each level, fighting off enemies like hyenas and vultures, and eventually confront Scar. Gameplay involves a lot of platform jumping, with signature mechanics like pouncing on enemies, roaring to stun them, and climbing up vines or ledges. Some sections, like the stampede or the monkey swing sequences, can be brutally difficult and require precise timing. Despite the occasional frustration, moving through the vibrant, condensed levels with that familiar music gives it a straightforward, nostalgic charm.
