Both, however, have frustrating drawbacks. Luckily, this modern collection has save and load facilities, alongside an incredibly useful rewind function. I didn’t expect that I’d barely scrape past level two’s eye-bleedingly colorful giraffe and monkey madness (after a half hour of trial and error) before dying a dishonorable death during the very first hyena encounter in the Elephant Graveyard.Įven by the second level, 'The Lion King' is utterly punishing.
It was brutal, but just about doable.īeing a now-seasoned gaming veteran, I thought The Lion King would be a doddle to complete. Instead, I had to settle for Right, A, A, B, Start: a cheat code I still remember off by heart, which allowed me to skip the offending stage and continue my journey as adult Simba–complete with his new attacking ability–to finish the game. But I never completed it in one go I’d always get stuck on the Hakuna Matata level and its evil waterfall log climb or, failing that, the weird coconut-throwing monkey “boss” straight after it. It was the game bundled with the Genesis that eight-year-old me got for Christmas in 1994, and as it was the only title I had for a few months, I got pretty good at it.
The Lion King, however, truly piqued my interest in Disney Classic Games. Twenty-six years on, 'Aladdin' is still one of the best 2D platform games ever made.
