Beloved as they may be, both games can be beaten in about an hour if you don’t play them ‘purely’. The new features do act as a double-edged sword, however, as they also expose the rather antiquated game design that lies at the heart of the main versions of both these releases.

Now, with the Interactive Game Viewer, you can coast through the madness easily and pick up the controller again whenever you want. Case in point, the much-hated ‘monkey level’ in Lion King was intentionally made to be frustrating so kids renting the game couldn’t easily beat it in a weekend. We’d like to especially commend the inclusion of these latter quality-of-life features, as they go a long way towards balancing out the often inconsistent difficulty.

On top of this, various screen filter and ratio options have been included to give you the option to tweak the visuals to exactly as you remember them, while modern features like save states, rewind, and a curious “Interactive Game Viewer” mode are included to round out the rougher edges of these nearly thirty-year-old games. Digital Eclipse has lived up to the high standard it’s set with its work on previous retro collections, as the emulation quality is as pitch-perfect as you could hope for.
