Big thanks to Ridge for sending me this wallet and supporting the channel! Here’s the site if you
want to check them out! > ridge.com/SGR
You totally forgot the DOS version of the game! :D It was great, too!
@@Jammet that's the version I'm showing on the screen before the mega drive footage
Great Stuff!
You made a mistake, Roy E. Disney was not Walt Disney's brother but his nephew
ridge wallet, for those people who have 6 credit cards and zero coin
3:13 Roy E. Disney was actually Walt Disney's nephew. You're confusing him with Roy Disney Sr.
HUGE MISTAKE!!!! WELL SPOTTED
In any case, I really enjoyed this video. There was a lot of information I didn't know, including...19 Lion Guard games.
@@KeybladeMasterAndy possibly more lol but at least 19
@@slopesgameroom if those lion guard games we're relessed today they'd be on a mobile store with 99quid transactions. Just a thought
You mean Roy "O" Disney
"Mom, can we have Kimba the White Lion?"
"We have Kimba at home."
Kimba at home:
@wario2255 Hey, they did it with Godzilla.
Immitation is the sincerest form for flattery... unless you make millions off it & don't pay the originator they're dues
This shit gets really old. I've seen both and i can definitely say, if it was 'ripped off' disney did a better job in my opinion (referring to the original 1994 film).
@@SomeBlokeOrWhatever But that Godzilla was a shitty film, Lion King is a good film.
@@salmahyenasashimicheetah6888I think both are good in their own way.
Kimba ! Oh , I mean Simba.
14:30
Girl: Kimba! Kimba!
Boy: oh, you mean Simba!
Nice save there, kid. Nice save.
The reason why the SNES/Mega Drive version was extremely hard was because Disney didn’t like people renting games so they made it difficult so that people wouldn’t be able to finish it if they rented the game for like a week so that they would buy it to try to finish it.
so where's the bootleg nes one where Simba hangs himself.
I was wondering if he was going to talk about that one too
JonTron: Oh my God! Oh my God (my God)!
Sounds like a brilliantly mindblowing experience. 😂
@@ErectedGasCan You should see JonTron's video on bootleg Disney games if you want to see it and the other game over screens in the game. Simba hanging himself on a noose, Timon digging his own grave before jumping in and burying himself, and Pumbaa jumping into a pot of boiling water.
@@SaiyanGamer95 Thank you for the tip! I have a most disturbing urge to ruin the last childhood memories still intact, and this sounds mint. 😂
I have a vague recollection of seeing Timon burying himself, so eighter i have come across some material of the bootlegs earlier, or then maybe my mind was just as hallucinatory as a child as now. 😂
The sega and SNES games were purposely made difficult so kids couldn’t beat it for rentals. Surprised you didn’t mention that.
Yep, 2nd level for the original game was made in this way. It's well known. No further months of work would have changed that demand from Disney.
I think that lion king was the only game I ever finish on my megadrive collection. I kept the console turn on for several days though
I wonder if that's also why there's that "bug" in the Level Select / Invincibility cheat that takes you back to the second level after you beat the level you choose to start at, especially since the same thing happens with the corresponding cheat in the Genesis "Aladdin" game.
@@Compucles Ah now it all makes sense... 😢
I'd have to say that Peter Schneider was not even a twinkle in his mother's eye when my 3 favorite Disney films came out; Make Mine Music, The 3 Caballeros, & Fantasia.
The Lion King was my childhood, I still get butterflies in my stomach whenever I hear Circle of Life and I remember most of the songs by heart. Last year, I celebrated my birthday at Animal Kingdom's The Lion King show. It was an unforgettable experience.
....I swear I'm an adult
I don't think Nala was a princess. She skipped that title and just became queen. (Also, Lion King 1½ contradicts parts of the first film, and some people from 7:56 copied Kimba.)
Yeah, my biggest problem with "1 1/2" was that they made it impossible to place the Mr. Pig scene from the first movie. (Plus, it's rather unlikely that there was such a short timeframe of everything in the first movie leading up to Timon and Pumbaa finding Simba.)
I just played the Lion King for Sega yesterday. It's so hard and not that fun to play... BUT I love the controls for young Simba. That's what redeems the game for me - it's seriously fun to control him. He moves like an actual cat. I haven't found any other game with controls like that. Unfortunately adult Simba is clunky and I usually stop playing after I reach them.
That megadrive wallet looks pretty slick actually
Some kids played it on SNES, others on Megadrive, but I remember getting the MSDOS version. So difficult to play with a keyboard, though, and learning to hit Spacebar and Enter at the same time to throw Scar during the final battle took me forever...
Still, good memories...
I had the Lion King game as a child and I don't think I ever even made it out of the first level. XD Pretty much my most vivid and almost only memory of it is letting little Simba repeatedly roar at big beetles until they dropped and finding it hilarious.
No mention of Kimba the White Lion?? Daaaaaamn, Slopes lol
Dammit, now I REALLY want to hear what the OST would have been like had ABBA done it.
Nala is a princess? I think Kiara is more of a princess than Nala.
Calling The Lion King 2 "mediocre"
*Deception... Disgrace...*
Any time i read or hear mediocre i cant help but think of mad max fury road. Witness me!!!
EVIL AS PLAIN AS THE SCAR ON HIS FACE
It is mediocre
Lion King for the Mega Drive is my comfort game. Whenever I feel bad about myself I play through Lion King to remind myself I have actually learned something since I was 4 and first got that game. I always feel better afterwards.
That music takes me back, I Had this game on my FIRST WINDOWS PC, I remember booting it up and hearing this music blasting out the speakers with Sound Blaster 16 PRO ... MAN! I even finished it, on the PC, with keyboard!
Kimba says hello
@27:28 when you said "It's come so far..." I was sure you were going for a pun like "It's come full circle in it's life..." I must be tired. Great video as always!
Honestly, the SNES Aladdin and Lion King games are probably what made me good at games.
Elton doesn't write lyrics. His strength is in the ability to take someone else's lyrics and own them, not just by crafting the basic melody perfectly but by how he performs them.
I clicked on the video to watch the different video games and completely forgot about it until you mentioned it in the 14th minute because I was enjoying your research behind the making of the lion king!
I often wonder if older people that typically hated Disney musicals held appreciation for the Lion King because of their forgotten nostalgia for Kimba the White Lion. Speaking of, Kimba, otherwise known as Jungle Emperor Leo, makes appearances in many of Osamu Tezuka's other work, as well as the Game Boy Advance game Astro Boy: Omega Factor, which itself is based on Tezuka's most popular work. A possible complete history for itself is in order?
Thanks for doing this one Dan - this was my fave Disney movie growing up! Well done for the 115k subscribers too.
i remember when lion king was called Kiba the white lion
@@hamtaro126 I think that was the joke
This will always be my Favorite Disney Movie of all time.
I never got past the Timon & Pumba stage on the Genesis/Mega Drive Lion King game: that waterfall part was impossible to get past.
Another rarely mentioned name attached to Lion King is the guy who did the singing for adult Simba, (he has like, two lines in the entire film"... That voice belongs to Joseph Williams, son of composer John Williams, and is also the singer from Toto, of course, known for one of their biggest songs, Africa. (Although it wasn't Williams that sang in that song)
Jungle Games on PC is one of the best games ever! You can play it with a friend or alone, the graphics and animations have not aged one bit, and it is full of plain and simple fun.
Technically Kiara's a princess. Nala's a Queen :P
Hey! Simba's mighty Adventure aws not that bad! I love that game. ANd I do own it.
And according to Disney, None of are anything other then in name.
I own it too but I found it to be alright at best, still enjoyed it though (it only they spent more time making the game).
I find it funny they call it 3 in the UK when the US trailer for it starts off with Timon removing one of the roman 1s to make it 2 but then Pumba reminds him there's already a 2, where he then takes them roman numerals and reshapes them into 1 1/2
This was great. I had no idea that Lion King was considered the 'side project' while Pocahontas was the main focus. Lion King is such a classic while i found Pocahontas incredibly mediocre. In fact i have a hard time even remembering much of the film.
Excellent video as always learnt a LOT as per usual. Good work dude!!
you forgot about disney skating adventure that had a whole lion king level.
YOU MADMAN YOU DID IT!!!! I was waiting for this vid for so long
I had the Lion King LCD game! We couldn’t afford the SNES or other consoles so I remember reading every game magazine for the screenshots and wanted nothing more than to play them!
My daughter also loves the Disney XD Lion Guard series... and to be honest I don’t mind watching them with her either 😁
THE HISTORY... oh, and a few minutes about the games.
8:52 Thinking back on better times **cries in a corner**
I thought the MD/SG version were widely accepted that it was made hard and unforgiving on purpose, not that it didn't have enough refinement in development time. they wanted to make it so hard you couldn't beat it in one sitting after renting it from blockbuster, so you'd maybe buy it outright =P
Jokes on them, I found it so hard when I rented it I never rented it again and never even considered buying it after that
Great video man. Nice to see a current video about Lion King that isn't about the remake or that *cough* "Kimba thing" (The comments are bring it up anyway). But controversy aside it just nice to watch a positive video about my still favorite childhood film. Good job Slopes!
That Kimba thing you are acting like IP their is nothing
Ops theif stupid phone
The DOS version of The Lion King destroyed my childhood and made me become a masochistic gamer. "Jungle Games" for Windows 95 were the best casual game of the time IMHO! Much better than Space Cadet!
I’m so excited to watch this video! These games bring back so many good memories. Thanks Slopes! Love you bro!
A Dev on the game said in an interview a short time ago Disney asked them to make it really hard really quick to get kids to buy it as paradoxical as that sounds. Really it was just to get kids who might rent the game to be more likely to buy it if it was too difficult to play in a single rental cycle.
Man i played the SNES Lion King so much it's only game i could actually speerun
You're showing my age let alone yours with that story book toy.
I also remember playing the Lion King 2 game on PC at my grandma's house during the summer. My aunt bought it for me & my siblings. My sister would slam the keyboard if she didn't win, eventually breaking it (because the keys would make a funny sound every time someone typed.) Also, there were times when the game glitched & we'd get stuck on certain levels. Like the 1 where 1 of the cubs would go through a maze & try not to get caught by Timon on Pumba, & sometimes when this happened the animation of the character would continue - basically making it look like Timon or Pumba was stomping the lion cub into dust. It was kind of funny, except when the game stopped working. And all of this was going on on a desktop that still used AOL...
@@darkfyraproductions7958 I'm guessing the name was the same, just with a bit extra. I did see something on Amazon but when I looked it up on UA-cam the game was different from the LK2 game.
@@darkfyraproductions7958 Wow, you got a great deal.
I loved my Lion King Tiger LCD game when I was little, so much so I’m pretty sure I played it more than my actual Gameboy!
Nice vid as ever, Dan! I had The Lion King on the Mega Drive when I was a nipper, then tried it again more recently on an emulator, and yeah - it's a lot harder than I remembered, too! It was hard back then, and I remember all that lush animation sometimes made it difficult to catch or walk along platforms in places, but it was pretty enjoyable.
Agreed that it was a bit strange to have 'two games in one' but I figure it matched the time skip in the film. Would've also been strange to have adult Simba bouncing on hyenas like Mario (maybe?) and I liked his extended range of fighting moves. Almost made the adult levels feel like... 'Serengetis of Rage', or something.
'Serengetis of Rage,' I can't stop laughing at that, but is true.
A new Lion King game is what the fans deserve now with the release of the movie....
It’s a bit late to coincide with the movie, but a Godzilla Complete Game history could be pretty good.
People often say they can hear pictures; I heard that entire Mega Drive game during the review (even though the sound was off!) down to the sound effects from the bonus stages! Am I the only one that heard the cheetahs snarl after getting smacked at 22:29?
I too am a DJ and I too DETEST Abba, well done dear sir DJ Slope
Well, I did see the old version of The Lion King in the movie theaters when I was a kid and yeah it was pretty epic enough said.
While I am a huge fan of the Timon and Pumbaa cartoon series, I have to admit, The Lion Guard cartoon is a better fit and more tonally suitable to be a follow up to the movie. Though I never really cared for them retconning the reason Scar wanted to take over Pride Rock. It's just hard to think about how while there was this epic power struggle between the bitter brother of a beloved king that involves Machiavellian schemes and murder, there's a big red nosed doofus named Congo Quint running around doing goofy stuff.
Can't wait for your inevitable Toy Story video.
Roy E Disney was Walt's _nephew_ not his brother.
Excellent video as always. Hoping for a shadow of the beast history some day. ☺️
Weirdly I saw the stage play about five years before I saw the original film. Don't know why I didn't immediately go see the movie since I really liked the play.
OMG Oliver and Company was so good. It was my favorite for years but Disney just stuffed it into the vault when it didn't do as well as it should. FFS it came out in 1988 and didn't get a home release until 1996. Disney had some weird priorities back then.
you give disney way too much credit lol
Oh, also, it wasn't the Lion King storybook that caused all them computers to crash. It was the PC version of Westwood's game. I remember my best friend at the time got the Westwood game and her little sister got the Storybook and my friend went insane since her game practically broke the machine but her little sisters game puttered along.
Actually I like The Lion King but it really wasn't my favourite Aladdin was
I have it exactly the opposite. Lion King is my favorite
I swear the Lion King 2 CD had other things, cause I do not recognize the games shown.
Played this game so much on the MegaDrive that when I was 8/9 years old I could complete it within 20 minutes. Timed it a couple of times and my fastest run was 18:36 minutes. This was before speedrunning was a thing I think. Should pick it up again and see how fast I can complete it now haha.
No you didn't. The best speed runners in the world today can only do it a few minutes faster than the time you claim, that's with them spending years practicing and years of the community discovering tricks to go faster. Why lie about a nearly 30 year old game? It's pretty sad
You made a mistake, Roy E. Disney was not Walt Disney's brother but his nephew
Kimba was born on a Disney plane?
Kimba . Sounds like someone called Kim who has
Decided to start a Zumba club at the local community centre.
No mention of Osamu Tezuka, the true creator.
Cause this video isn't about making the comparisons between the two, just Lion King and its games. If you want that, go to Yesterworld or SaberSparks. They both did videos on the situation this month.
I'd ignore most of what he said about how Lion King was thought up... they actually just jacked it from a Japanese show starring a Lion named, I shit you not, Kimba... the creator of which Allers went on to with a few years before Lion King was "thought up"... “Kimba, the White Lion.” was the original... and you don't have to squint to hard to lift all the shit that was lifted, though they deny it because saying "yeah we're plagiarizing pieces of shit" was never gonna happen.
Lion King is a great movie, but it is also a stolen one.
This was the first movie I saw in theaters.
3:17 Roy O Disney is Walts brother. Roy E Disney is Roy O's son, making him Walts NEPHEW
4:55 Hey, hey, hey. Where's Beauty and the Beast? That's a notable one too, especially since you just got done saying that it was your favorite over Lion King
5:49 Andreas Deja, he is one hell of an animator. Not only was he Supervising Animator for Scar, but also, King Triton (Little Mermaid) Gaston (Beauty and the Beast) Jafar (Aladdin) Adult Hercules, Lilo from Lilo and Stitch, Mama Odie and her snake Juju in Princess and the Frog, Mickey Mouse in things like The Prince and the Pauper, Fantasia 2000, Runaway Brain, Tigger for the 2011 Winnie the Pooh film, and many, MANY other things. The man in incredible.
Maybe he should be teaching today's generation how to animate movies. So many rubbish CGI animated movies today.
@@pferreira1983 A lot of the old animators in the industry are being pushed to the side for the new young people who animate everything like its Steven Universe and such, and its starting to creep its way into upcoming films like Lucca and Turning Red
@@BlazeHeartPanther Oh there's definitely some horrible animation today.
14:36 I'm down with that still waiting for that they whole coleco chameleon debacle
Bought the Mega Drive Lion King game for my fiancé as a christmas gift.
She loved it, and once again beats me shamelessly in yet another side-scroller....
Some day i fear i'll learn her how to play 3D platformers and i'll be out of a PS. 😂
Those games are difficult, but as everything Disney in the 8 & 16 bit eras, still a great game overall.
this is better than Lion King 2019.
This game is amazing ! I was able to finish it when i was 11 back on my sega genesis, its was hard af and i absolutly did not undersdand how to trow Scar at the end so it was lucky button mash xD
So went and shopped the Ridge wallet store. Saw the prices. Laughed myself off the internet, for a minute. Realized my 21 year old wallet still holds things together and hooks to a chain if I so decide. Has been shielded. Realizes that micro transactions are now appearing in gaming channels I watch. Watches Streets Of Rage: the Complete History to remind myself of the "good ole days."
The genesis version of lion king was my first genesis game which was my first ever console & holy shit is it hard, I never beat it!
I remember my sister and I watching the trailer on tv as kids, we freaked out. My whole family went to see it in the theater, even my grandparents. And of course we wore out many VHS tapes. I even had a weird budget rip off movie, but I can't recall the name. I remember liking it too though, but it probably didn't hold up as well. I'm still on the fence about seeing the new film. We also had a Sega Pico growing up and the Lion King game for that.
Congrats on seeing it in cinema! I would like to, but I'm not sure if it will be reshown in this age, as it seems that later screenings are never nearly as successful as the original run.
It's difficult to explain to kids today just how big The Lion King was. The media for it lasted quite a while.
Was just waiting for the leap pad game
Great stuff, who are the guys that provided the plug & play footage? Do they have a YT channel? Cheers.
This IS very niche, but thank you. I appreciate it.
Westwood: nah we good
Disney: watch this for five mins
Westwood: ...
*MASTAPEECE*
Great video as always! I got a game, I remember buying a fake Lion king 2 game on Megadrive from Game Station, I think it was some Chinese hack game, where you could turn into adult Simba (like Mario becomes Super Mario) and was pretty poor, try it if you get a chance!
Timon and Pumba Jungle games.
Let's see, we've got Frogger, Pinball, Puyo Puyo, a point and shoot, and.....okay not sure what to call that last one...
I had absolutely no idea that Oliver and Company predated the Lion King. That's mad! Great video Dan, Lion King has always been one of my faves, though I do think the new film looks dull as.
14:35 that jerk totally stole her console after that.
another great video tyvm
hates katzenberg
hates the second lion king
how can i be sure this man is a fan
Is that Gary Spongebob card in the ridge part from the coin push arcade machines??
Lol That flex about the Gary cards man
Who cares if he is not of African descent if he was he would not able to understand the lyrics in some of his greatest songs.
It all started with a white lion named Kimba
Lion King the cartoon is just as good
Cant wait for beauty and the beast, i remember that snes game being bloody hard, maybe even harder than lion king.
i think rick astley was backing vocals in one the songs that elton john sings
Lion King was brilliant. Think I watched it in the cinema. Would have been around 5. Who doesn't like Hamlet?
the SNES/Sega game also had a PC port :D
