About this game

The Lion King is a single-player side-scrolling platform game.

The game follows the story of Simba, the young lion prince of the Pride Lands, whose carefree childhood is shattered when his father Mufasa is killed and his uncle Scar takes the throne.

Banished from his homeland, Simba must survive in exile, grow into adulthood, and eventually return to challenge Scar for his rightful place as king.

The levels loosely follow events from the Disney animated film, presenting stages that reflect key settings such as the Pride Lands, the Elephant Graveyard, the jungle, and Pride Rock.

Gameplay is divided into two main phases of Simba’s life: cub and adult.

As a cub, Simba’s abilities are limited to jumping on smaller enemies such as lizards, birds, and bugs.

He can also roar to frighten certain creatures, though this ability is governed by a roar meter that needs time to recharge.

In these stages, players must navigate platforms, avoid hazards, and solve light puzzles while evading larger predators.

As an adult lion, Simba gains more powerful combat abilities.

In addition to jumping and roaring, he can slash enemies with his claws and use a grab-and-throw move to hurl opponents off-screen.

Enemies grow tougher in this phase, ranging from hyenas to Scar himself, and platforming challenges become more complex.

Each stage incorporates environmental hazards alongside enemies.

Players may need to swing from hippo tails, avoid stampeding wildebeests in a scrolling chase sequence, or climb through twisting caves.

The game uses a health meter represented by a lion’s head, which decreases when Simba takes damage but can be restored by eating insects scattered throughout levels.

Extra lives are also gained by collecting certain bugs.

The game includes bonus stages that star Timon and Pumbaa.

These short minigames allow players to collect bugs for points and power-ups.

A scoring system tallies progress at the end of each level.

Difficulty is increased by the absence of a save or pass

About Commodore Amiga

The Commodore Amiga (1985) was ahead of its time technically — multitasking, custom graphics and sound chips — and built a passionate following in Europe in particular, where it rivaled and often outsold contemporary consoles. Amiga collecting today is a niche but dedicated hobby: original boxed software on floppy disk is comparatively scarce since floppies degrade, making well-preserved complete copies genuinely valuable to the right collector.

Gamevaro tracks The Lion King for Commodore Amiga with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding The Lion King to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This AMIGA release dates back to 1994.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Lion King, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Commodore Amiga titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
