Embark on an epic journey and help Simba achieve adulthood and reclaim the Pridelands
Lion King is a great little platformer game that is based on the famous Disney animated film. In this game you will be playing Simba, as a cub and as an adult, each having to face his own adventures and perils.
The classic arcade side scroller
The game focuses on Simba's journey from a young carefree cub until he has to battle his uncle Scar, when he is an adult. His objective, as in the title, is to become the greatest lion. The game is a side-scrolling platform version, with the character being able to leap, climb, run and descend. 31 free games you can download right now - check out the classics like Beneath A Steel Sky, Ultima and Stargunner.

Lion King is without exception one of the best examples of a wonderful arcade style game which will remain with audiences for countless years to come. No matter how old you are, you love The Lion King and you won’t be able to resist seeing little Simba as a cub, jumping around on chameleons and giraffe heads as well as a full grown badass lion.
Like in all side scrollers, your goal is to move towards the right side of the screen, jumping, dodging and rolling. It seems simple enough but Lion King was designed in a time where a lot of creativity and thought was put into a game and this one has its fair share of clever puzzles that you need to figure to advance in the game.
Released in ‘94 and it still looks great
We have to admit that when it comes to the classics, and this applies to all of us, we can’t but help to feel nostalgic and consequently a bit more generous when we evaluate things. Just so as to get it out of the way, Lion King’s graphics could use a much needed improvement because some things might turn out looking much better and can make the game much more enjoyable.
On the other hand even with its obsolete graphics, it still looks great in terms of world design, details and overall atmosphere. You start off jumping through green jungles that have wonderfully colored sunsets in the background and as Simba makes his way through life, the color tones become fewer and fewer and foliage is replaced with caves and fire.
As for gameplay, the dynamics are great, character animations and controls are spot on and you simply can’t get bored playing it.
A fun game for all ages
To sum things up, if you're looking for a casual and very entertaining game, you can certainly try Lion King. Beneath its 8 bit graphics lie a good couple of fun filled minutes.
