Hi. Just completed this game after finding the box from many a year ago. Worried I found it so hard, but seems others had similar feelings! To those who questioned about the controls here is the info provided in the manual for the default set up (can be altered in options menu):

"The Controls

Moving Around: The LEFT and RIGHT CURSOR (arrow) keys can he used to move Simba left and right.

Looking Around: Pressing and holding the UP or DOWN CURSOR (arrow) keys will make Simba stop and look around. Use this feature to check out potential dangers from above and below!

Jumping: Use the SPACEBAR to jump straight up or with the LEFT/RIGHT CURSOR (arrow) keys to jump left/right.

Roaring: To momentarily stun his adversaries you can make Simba roar by pressing the CTRL key.

Rolling: When the young Simba is running he can curl up into a ball to bump adversaries in his path. You can do this by pressing the DOWN CURSOR (arrow) whilst running.

Slashing: When Simba is an adult you can use the ALT key to slash adversaries with his razor sharp claws.

Mauling: As an adult you can make Simba maul and flip adversaries by pressing the LEFT SHIFT key.

Grabbing: If Simba leaps for a ledge hut doesn’t quite make it, he will grab it and hang on. Note that if Simba is hanging from a crevice in a solid wall, he can spring off it. If there is a wall behind him, Simba will turn and grab on to any available crevice. A technique can be developed which will allow Simba to climb.

If you find these keys difficult to use you will be pleased to know that all of the controls can be changed and configured from the options menu to suit your own taste."

Hope thats some help! Here are the level descriptions as well if they can be any use:

Simba’s World
THE PRIDELANDS Take it slow and get used to controlling Simba,
especially his pounces, rolls and roars. Beware of the explosive
Bombardier Beetle, watch out for Special Items and don’t be afraid to
explore (there’s no time limit). Take advantage of the Continue Markers
to save having to replay from the very beginning.

CAN’T WAIT TO BE KING Use the rhinoceroses’ heads to spring
into the trees, and make the most of the bird’s nests to reach the
monkeys. Beware: some monkeys are confused by Simba’s roar...
When Simba’s riding the ostrich, duck or jump the birds’ nests.

THE ELEPHANT GRAVEYARD Be warned: two hyenas are ready to
fight at the beginning of this level. Swing and climb through the bones,
but don’t linger too long on the crumbling ones... The vultures attack
with a swoop, so climb higher and turn the tables on them. Stretched
elephant hide is springy, but there’s a limit...

THE STAMPEDE The wildebeests have bolted, so run before Simba’s
trampled. Look out for warnings of boulders and jump out of harm’s way.

SIMBA’S EXILE Look before you leap - and drop! Scar’s hyenas are on
Simba’s tail, throwing rocks all the way; the only way to escape the
Pridelands is through its thorny border.

HAKUNA MATATA Guide Simba across the different waterfalls,
jumping as high as possible between the logs. Beware the gorilla’s
coconuts; try rolling to knock them back.

SIMBA’S DESTINY At last Simba’s become a full-grown lion, so take
the time to get used to his new moves: mauling, slashing and heavy
pouncing. And listen to that roar! The vines can be cut with a slash, but
the falling rocks must be avoided. Pounce, maul and roar to defeat the
cheetahs and pass through the Pridelands.

BE PREPARED Avoid the dripping hot lava. Ride the rocks on the
river and beware of the bats. Watch out for the geysers in the final room
and ride to the exit.

SIMBA’S RETURN Chase the hyenas off Pride Rock and show them
who’s the rightful king of the Pridelands. Simba must defeat all the
hyenas in a room before he can move on... and eventually confront Scar.

Push up to enter a cavern and emerge elsewhere in the level.

PRIDE ROCK This is it: Simba’s evil uncle and pretender to the throne
Scar, must be beaten, in a fight between the two mightiest
lions in the Pridelands. The fate of Pride Rock depends on you!

The Bonus Stages
There are two different ones - can you find them?

BUG TOSS Use Pumbaa to collect the falling bugs dropped by Timon.
Avoid the Bad Bugs (see Bad Bugs on page 8) but don’t miss any of the
others or this Bonus Stage will come to an end. Use Pumbaa’s belch to
clear the screen of all bugs that might be missed. Note that Pumbaa has
only one belch per Bonus Stage.

BUG HUNT Use Timon to hop between the ledges and collect bugs.
Again, don’t miss any - except the bad ones - or this Bonus Stage is over.

Finally here are some tips:


Pridelands: Look out for the secret area near the end of the level: on the ledge to the top right of the map with two chameleons on it there is a stone that Simba can grab on to and then crawl over into a 'secret' area - watch out for the Porcupines though.

CWTBK: On the final set of monkeys Simba must first roar at the only reachable pink monkey (*NOTE* - if you didn't already when first landing in this area jump on the rhinoceros and be flung about by the monkeys before changing anything to pick up the 1 up *). When flung around he will then be passed over the water on to another tree. Here roar at the monkey Simba lands next to before jumping off and crossing back over to the otherside on the logs (be sure to time right plus pick up the 1 up). Now again go to the first rhinoceros and begin to be thron about again. This time you will end up being thrown back from the second tree by the monkey you just changed and land at the top of the first tree. Here roar at the monkey next to you and before you jump down jump over to the nest to the right to collect the bug (I think it opens a bonus round). Once you have jumped off, proceed to the first monkey and roar at it again to change it back to its original position. Now jump on the rhinoceros for the final time and after much flinging you will reach the end of the level!

Elephant Graveyard:

Hakuna Matata: In order to arrive half way up the waterfall rather than at the bottom, make sure to jump on to the furthest right slippy slope at the top. This will take you to a single ledge. From here jump on the slippy slopes again holding right down to make sure you don't end up at the bottom of the waterfall. Although the waterfall is hard (and frustrating!) there is a trick to it: once jumping on to nearest (slow moving) log you should then be able to quickly be able jump over to a quickly falling log towards the middle. Although the middle may at first seem the hardest route because of its speed it can in fact be the quickest and easiest route - one of the central log streans is frequent enough to allow you to jump directly from one to the log above, straight up. As the distance varies between the log, this straight up jump must be combined with occasional jumps to either side to reach the next close pairs. For those perfectionists (or masochists... :blink: ) out there once you reach the top of the water fall to your left there is a ledge from which you can jump from to collect a bug I think for a bonus stage. However be warned jumping to collect this bug will take you right down the waterfall again.

When fighting the Gorilla in this level there are a few tricks. Firstly do not try jumping at it straight away - it will simply slap you away taking away vital health. Instead wait until it begins throwing coconuts at you. The manual recommends rolling at them to bounce them back, however I cannot vouch for this method as I didn't use it at the time. Instead I waited until the gorilla was preoccupied with throwing nuts and then jumped on it then. Where possible try to jump on the gorilla from up above (i.e. a higher ledge) as this will allow you to damage it more easily without being hit. The gorilla follows a similar sequence: first waits a bit slapping you if you try to come close, then begins hoying nuts for a while. Eventually the gorilla will thump the ground, inflicting damage on you if you are in contact with the ground anywhere in its vicinity. This patterns repeats each time it jumps away after you damage it.

Simba's destiny: Stand and slash on top of boulders to make them move.

Be Prepared: After a very hard level you will eventually reach a room with several lava shoots in it. Beware boulders will regulalry fall from above in time with the lava shoots although they do not fall on the areas above the lava shoots so you are safe there. The shoots follow a 'sweep' pattern from left to right, only one bursting at a time. Therefore if you always jump one ahead of the shoot just about to go off you should avoid the lava and boulders. Continue repeating this jumping back to the start when you reach the end of the cavern. Eventually rocks will fall from above and plug the shoots, one after the other - be careful as these rock will kill you instantly. The shoots will each be plugged until the last is reached. As soon as the plug falls on this jump on it and you will proceed to be propelled on the rock out of the level.

Pride rock: Try attaking Scar with the maul (Alt). Although it is a weak attack and Scar will defend against it, it does not leave Simba exposed like for example the slash. By repeatedly mauling and pushing forward you should be able to force Scar in to a corner etc. where he cannot back off further where you can repeatedly maul him without any chance of attack - however be warned you will end up pressing the Alt key for a very long time. After a few minutes of mauling back off quickly - if you have attacked him enough Scar should preceed to try to escape into a previosuly unreachable area. If Scar does not however escape continue with the maul treatment for longer. In between your scuffles you will need to transverse across a variety of ledges etc. fighting any hyenas on the way. You will finally reach Scar for a third time . Here repeat the maul attack until he becomes to weak to attack you properly. Now comes the tricky part - you must fling Scar from this ledge into the fire below as in the film. To do this force Scar with the maul towards the right edge of the platform. However do not force him all the way, leaving enough room to jump over him, so that you end up facing him with the end of the platform behing you. Here you the fling/flip attack to throw him over you back and off the ledge (press left shift when moving into Scar).

Hope thats some help - sorry for the length! And for all those who have been thinking this - yes I am sad playing a game for small children but then hey! LOL

Well, this game is available for download on one site. The site appers to be a legal one and is also devoted to abandonware games. But I am not writing that name here. If anyone wanna search, serch carefully on Google, you will definitely find what you want. :angel:


By the way, I have a Windowed version of this game too. Is that version freeware or commercial?

There's quite a few sites which aren't necessarily warez sites and which offer ESA-protected games for download nevertheless. But I think that's mainly because the people who maintain those sites don't realise they're not supposed to do that. And because ESA haven't been tipped off about them yet...

Wow. a big kitty game...

Sometimes you can find games that arent here in some of the abandonware links.
However, I don't think you will find this one there.
