Lion King, The (USA) ROM

The Lion King for SNES is such an underrated licensed platformer. The animation, voice clips and music seem lifted straight from the movie, and it's certainly up their with Virgin Interactive's other Disney platformer effort, Aladdin on the Genesis. While the game's production values are through the roof, the game is quite a bit unbalanced. The early young Simba stages are much better than the later adult Simba levels, and the difficulty is horribly uneven. The first stage is a breeze, the second level is the hardest in the game. Despite this, the game is worth a download. If you're a fan of the film or just of above-average licensed platformers, this is definitely not a waste of time.

Based on the Multi-Award winning hit from Disney: The Lion King. Play as Simba from a young cub to an adult lion as you experience an heir to the throne's tragic tale of loss and betrayal.

After the death of your father, you are told a lie that forces you into hiding, but along this path you become strengthened, with some help from friends, and decide to longer run from your fate, but to embrace it and become what you were called to be, "The Lion King!"
