About the Game:
The Lion King is a 1994 platform game based on Disney's 1994 animated film of the same name. The game was developed by Westwood Studios and published by Virgin Interactive Entertainment for the Super NES and Genesis in 1994, and was ported to MS-DOS, Amiga, Game Gear, Master System, and Nintendo Entertainment System. The Amiga, Master System, and NES versions were only released in the PAL region. The game follows Simba's journey from a young cub to the battle with his uncle Scar as an adult.
The Super NES version of The Lion King had 1.27 million copies sold in the United States.[22] More than 200,000 copies of the MS-DOS version were sold.[23] In the United Kingdom, it was the top-selling Sega Master System game in November 1994.[24] In the United States, it was the top-selling Game Gear game in December 1994.[25] In 2002, Westwood's Louis Castle remarked that roughly 4.5 million copies of The Lion King were sold in total.[26]
GamePro reviewed the SNES version, commenting on outstanding graphics and voices, but "repetitive, tedious gameplay that's too daunting for beginning players and too annoying for experienced ones". They particularly noted the imprecise controls and highly uneven difficulty, though they said the "movie-quality graphics, animations, and sounds" were good enough to make the game worth playing regardless of the gameplay.[27] They similarly remarked of the Genesis version: "The Lion King looks good and sounds great, but the gameplay needs a little more fine-tuning".[28]
