Play The Lion King on Msdos Online

Game Overview

Man, The Lion King on MS-DOS is way harder than it looks. You start off as little Simba, bouncing on hyenas and roaring at stuff—which, by the way, is weirdly satisfying when you stun a whole group of enemies at once. The roar meter fills back up if you wait, but good luck remembering that when you’re panicking in the middle of a stampede level (yeah, that’s a thing).

Then you grow up, and suddenly you’re clawing and throwing enemies like a proper lion. The controls feel a little stiff at first, but you get used to it. And those bugs? Some heal you, some boost your stats permanently—but grab a black spider by accident and you’ll regret it instantly. The Timon and Pumbaa bonus stages are a fun break, though good luck finding all the hidden triggers for them.

Honestly, the bottomless pits and instant-death boulders will make you rage more than Scar ever could. Still, nailing that perfect jump over the giraffes in the second level feels amazing.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
