Overview

Brian the Lion, also known as Brian the Lion starring in: Rumble in the Jungle, is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Reflections and published by Psygnosis for the Amiga 1200 and Amiga CD32 (Platform) exclusively in Europe in 1994.

Developed by the studio behind the Shadow of the Beast (Franchise) trilogy, Brian the Lion stars the titular anthropomorphic lion as he makes his way to Nightmare Island to rescue his buddy Chris the Crystal from Lord Greeza the Dragon. Along with bouncing on enemies and short-ranged clawing, he can save up enough crystals to buy the ability to perform mighty roars.

It is notable for being the last Amiga game from Reflections, as well as their last platformer, prior to moving to fifth-generation consoles and PCs with the Destruction Derby (Franchise) and Driver (Franchise) series.

Gameplay

You run through levels, destroying enemies by clawing them or jumping on their heads. In each level you can collect blue crystals, witch you can use to at a shop to buy yourself some extra lives, more hit points and stronger jumps, more speed and a roar that also can kill your enemies. The game also features hidden areas in the levels. Some of them will lead you in a different direction than the one you would reach at the end of the level. In order to move on there are some levels you have to complete before you can go further in the game, but you can always return to a level that you have completed before.

Like any older platformer you have a timer on each level, complete it with in the time limit and you will get a bonus, going over the time will not earn you anything, and you will not be able to gain access to one of the three bonus levels that you can choose from.
