About The Lion King
The Lion King brings to life the majesty and mystery of Africa through the tale of Simba, a lion cub faced with the challenging transition to maturity. Believing himself to be responsible for his father's death, Simba enters the wilderness - where he finds salvation with Pumbaa the warthog and Timon the meerkat, and his education begins. Take control of the young cub Simba and, through interaction as detailed as the lust terrain, guide him safely through.

The Lion King PC port: quick answers
- Do I need to own The Lion King?
- Yes. TLKRecomp needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
- Is the Lion King PC port finished?
- Yes, the project calls it playable. Its last update was Oct 2026, and the latest release is 0.2.1.
- Which systems does it run on?
- Windows, macOS and Linux.
- Is it an emulator?
- No. TLKRecomp translates the original game code into native code, so it runs without an emulator.
