It is time!

The big wheel hath spoken; we return to the Sega Mega Drive for The Lion King! Please note that this is based on the classic 1994 cartoon and not the horrendous live action remake. If you start hearing Beyonce, you've made a terrible mistake.

As with the other pre-polygon titles, fairly standard rules apply.

1. Progress as far as you can within a 5 hour time limit. 2) Difficulty must be set to...NORMAL* 3) Deadlocks shall we broken by number of deaths - make sure you log each one! 3) No practicing

Time's up midday Wednesday 9th February, with the next wheel spin to follow.

Hakuna Matata mother fuckers

*This has been amended from "difficult" as the only major changes are reducing the number of lives from 2 to 0, and we ain't about that life

Another challenging week, with a few very frustrated streams! We've all survived, some of us reclaimed Pride Rock and others... well, we started a parallel timeline where Scar somehow accelerates global climate change and destroys the ecosystem. Well done us?

Thanks all for taking part again, stay tuned for Week 5.
