The first thing that hits you with Lion King is the detail and quality of the game. The music, graphics and animation are absolutely superb. Each level and character feels authentic to the movie, thanks mostly to the digicel technology that was used in the previous Aladdin Mega Drive game. The second thing that hits you though is the frustrating difficulty. The first level is an absolute breeze to play through, but then we begin to hit a few problems…

I can remember my Dad taking me to see this movie at the cinema and that moment when the dinosaurs first appeared on screen. I was completely blown away! Over the next few months, Jurassic Park the video game was released on the NES, Super Nintendo and Sega Mega Drive or Genesis. They were quite different, but in this review we’re going to focus on the Sega version.
