I've grown to really like it, even played some of the ports out of curiosity, overall Genesis is just better than the others, alongside the DOS one, for it's wider resolution and being able to skip a part in the 2nd level where the collision isn't all that good, where you're forced to swing across on SNES, which is still a good version though. It's surprising how good the Master System and the Game Gear ports were though, levels aren't just copies, they have their own layouts and, in a few ways, it's better, like the collision detection, it's quite good and I recommend them to anyone.

I think the worst versions are the NES and Game Boy ones, the Game Boy Color title that came a few years later is fine, but the OG ones? I'm not sure if I prefer the NES or Game Boy one, since the NES one cuts off just before Simba becomes and adult, in a way ending it sooner is merciful.

I love how the NES version doesn't even have adult Simba or a fight against Scar, it just sort of ends after Simba runs away, it's downright unfinished, and it looks like a bootleg aswell.

>What games from big companies feel like bootlegs?
The Lion King on NES.
It was the last official release for the console in some regions, from what I can remember, and it's genuinely awful, also doesn't even have a proper ending, it ends with Simba as a kid, you never play as adult Simba to take back your kingdom from Scar.
It looks like it was drawn in 5 minutes in MS Paint and plays really badly for a platformer, like when you jump into a platform from below, usually you'd land on it, but here you hit your head and don't go through.
It also has some "Boy Love" easter eggs and a Bible passage hidden too.
There are literal bootlegs for the Lion King on NES that feel more official than the official one. It's THAT bad.
