The Lion King for the SNES/Sega Genesis was a fantastic Disney video game that set the standard for future movie-to-game adaptations to come.
And I'm not alone on this.
That shit was crazy hard!
Little did we know that this game would make for some of the most frustrating moments in childhood gaming. And here's why:
1. You couldn't figure out this godforsaken monkey throw pattern:
2. You'd either jump too early or too late on the flamingo run:
3. These goddamn hyenas pounced on you in the most unpredictable ways:
4. In the "Elephant Graveyard" level, you couldn't tell where these spiky bone pits were, so you'd always fall into them and die.
5. Trying to fight off these fucking crows:
6. THE ENTIRE STAMPEDE LEVEL:
7. Trying to avoid the falling rocks on the "Simba's Exile" level:
8. Having to jump UP the waterfall on logs that were coming DOWN:
9. This coconut (or mango?) throwing gorilla:
10. These meerkats that would throw random shit at you:
11. Accidentally catching one of these black widows:
12. The dripping lava in the "Be Prepared" level:
13. Trying to knock out these annoying bats while surfing on lava:
14. Waiting for the lava geysers to be capped off:
15. The caves in the "Simba's Return" level:
16. The spontaneous lightning and fire in the final level:
17. And finally, defeating Scar:
So yeah, this game was frustrating AF.
