The Lion King is a faithful and enjoyable adaptation of Disney’s classic film. Simba’s quest to retake his kingdom from the evil Scar is a challenging and beautifully-crafted platformer that shows Disney and Virgin Interactive at their finest!

Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster’s Hidden Treasure
More than a decade after they first appeared on consoles, the Tiny Toons are still showing up in video games. Back when they were still actually something new, they had two outings on the Genesis, including an excellent little platform adventure called Buster’s Hidden Treasure. Retaining the charm of the cartoon and spreading it evenly over a massive world, the game was a surprise hit.
Todd’s Adventures in Slime World
Todd’s Adventures in Slime World first debuted on the Atari Lynx but was eventually ported to the Genesis. I guess people just couldn’t get enough of dark, slimy environments filled with nasty creatures. Hmm, not everyone has a gas station restroom nearby, I guess!
Mega Man: The Wily Wars
You’d think that with the amount of fame Mega Man enjoyed during the 8-bit era, the dude would get his shot on the Genesis once Capcom openly supported the platform.

Man Overboard! S.S. Lucifer
We here at Sega-16 love quirky, off-beat platformers. From Wani Wani World to Flicky, it’s all good, no matter how weird things get. So imagine our reaction when we booted up Man Overboard! S.S. Lucifer, which was unjustly left in Europe. Our friends over the pond were usually left out when it came to releases, but this time they lucked out. Or did they?
