Disney's The Lion King is an action-platformer that has the distinction of being the last licensed game for the console.
- Inexplicably, all of Simba's levels are omitted, so you never get to complete the story arc and gain your adult abilities.
- Levels that include swinging from hippos and monkeys suffer from heavy slowdown which takes out any real fun.
- The Stampede stage is a complete embarrassment, as the rudimentary top-down view resembles an Atari 2600 game.
- Controls are a mess and the simple act of jumping is turned into a crapshoot as to whether the game will let you do so.
- The graphics are hideous, with minuscule sprites and an awful dithering effect that replaces any detailed tile shading.
- Musically, the melodies are stripped to their bare minimum (with a real lack of bass) and the drum snare is pathetically weak.
