Westwood Studios and Disney Software have joined forces in this co-production to develop a game that combines the emotional excitement of Disney's newest full-length, animated feature film with unique, original game challenges to offer a whole new video game experience.
Westwood Studios developed the game which packs 24 megabits of action, animation and music into an adventure that explores the plains of Africa through two distinct phases of Simba's journey to adulthood. The first phase encompasses the life of young Simba, the cub, and his fascination with the world around him; the second phase is about Simba the lion prince on his journey back to reclaim his rightful place as king of The Pridelands.
Throughout the 10 levels of the game, the player will learn new climbing, jumping and fighting techniques. Ultimately each level is a training ground for Simba's final confrontation with his evil uncle Scar. Disney animators have drawn over 2,000 frames of artwork to create an interactive experience like no other. Using an improved version of the state-of-the-art Digicel technique, Westwood Studios has packed even more Disney animation and stunning scenery into The Lion King. The experience is completed with stunning music based on the film's soundtrack, including "The Circle of Life," "Just Can't Wait to be King," and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," all written by pop superstar Elton John and award-winning lyricist Tim Rice.
Unprecedented creative collaboration, state-of-the-art technology, a story that re-lives the movie and a fantastic soundtrack makes The Lion King a game that will roar like no game ever before!
Both titles play well, even decades later. Aladdin was never particularly difficult, but the controls took some getting used to on the PS4. The Lion King, on the other hand, is still outrageously hard. I vaguely remember crying over the waterfall and gorilla boss stage years ago but I brushed it off, thinking I was an incompetent child, but as it turns out, I am also an incompetent adult.
Young Simba just can't wait to be king. His father is the current King of the Savannah and the young prince is able to frolic the lands at will; jumping on and around other subjects of this animal kingdom. When Simba's father, King Mufasa, is killed and his evil brother Scar takes over the kingdom, Simba is banished from the lands of his birthright and has to grow up fast, honing his skills, for the day of his return.
The Lion King, based on the famous Disney movie, is a platform game where you control Simba - initially as a young cub, and later as an adult lion. The plot of the game follows the plot of the movie. Each of the levels represents a part of the movie.
As young Simba, you can fight various beasts, such as lizards, by jumping on them. You can also roar to scare some creatures into submission, though every time you roar, you have to wait for your "roar meter" to charge.
As an adult lion, you can still roar and jump, but now you fight enemies by slashing at them with your claws (if you're skillful enough, you can also grab them and toss them off the screen).
The game features no in-game save function, and it needs to be replayed from the beginning every time.
Who does not know the story of a small lion named Simba? In the beautiful African desert, Lion King Mufasa rules with a fair hand. And Mufasa, as a proper king has a son - Simba. Unfortunately it also has a brother, Scar, an evil one. In every royal family, there can be found someone, who is a bad guy and this is Scar's role it this story. Between him and the throne is in fact a little Simba, but he wants the throne badly. One day Scar guides Simba to visit the forbidden elephant graveyard, which is dominated by hyenas, and together with a friend Nalo Simba get into troubles and Scar is beginning to celebrate his victory to become next king. Although it did not work this time, it will work eventually and Simba will get into deeper troubles. And other times it was close... As you surely understand, in this game you play as a small Simba, who must go through 10 levels, overcome a number of obstacles and beat his uncle to became one true Lion King. It is one of the best DOS games we've played in our childhood.
Who doesn't know the story of a little lion cub named Simba?
Beautiful Africa is ruled by the just lion king Mufasa. And Mufasa, as the right king, has a son - the heir to the throne - Simba. Unfortunately, he also has a brother, Scara. There is a negative in every royal family and here it is Scar. Between him and the throne is a little Simba. One day, the traitorous Scar leads Simba to visit the elephant cemetery. However, the elephant cemetery is dominated by hyenas. Together with his friend Nala, they get into difficult problems and Scar already has my hands on me. Fortunately, King Mustafa struck (at the last minute, of course). It didn't work out this time, it will work out another time. And other times it was approaching ...
Simba fled and Scar became king. While Simba wanders and regrets herself, the kingdom is decimated by scar-dominated hyenas. However, Simba does not know this, so far he has made new friends, namely Timon and Pumbuu, and in the spirit of their carefree philosophy Hakuna Matata is slowly growing up. Until one evening, Simba sees her father in the starry sky. They realize what happened then and now the only right solution is different. The lion's blood, let alone the king's, awoke and Simba set out. He set out to settle. He set out to take revenge ....
And now for your own game. Your task is to go through ten levels and in the last one to deal with your uncle. In those ten lions, you will have to react promptly and sometimes even think. And, of course, remember something, but more on that ... The game accompanies you through the whole story, from a little lion to a stout lion. Like a little lion, you ride, for example, on the water (Hakuna Matata level - my favorite), you ride an ostrich (here you remember. intelligently he bumps his head against a branch ...). And like a lion with a fresh mane, you fight hyenas, cheetahs and finally Scar. Of course, even little Simba can fight, quite cute is how he can shout But back to the fight. Of course, you don't have any weapons comparable to doom, for example, but even such a lion's paw is quite a striking weapon. It's good to learn certain combos, different combinations of jumps, crouches and punches, because ... well, who would want to die, right?
I remember that I managed to get around 612kB (or was it 622kB?) of free conventional memory with all the drivers (mouse, CD-ROM, sound card) loaded. I used memmaker.exe from DOS 6.22 to optimize the driver loading and some manual tweaks in config.sys and auoexec.bat. I was able to run Falcon 3.0 without issues with all things working. Had to run it from plain DOS command prompt though as running Norton Commander would eat those extra few kB needed for Falcon 3.
