Disney's Timon and Pumbaa's Jungle Games

Disney's Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle Games is a party game originally developed by 7th Level for Windows in 1995. You play as Timon and Pumbaa, the beloved duo from The Lion King, as they entertain you with jungle living. The game consists of four mini-games that are endless, requiring you to beat high scores. Jungle Pinball is a pinball game where the board is filled with animals instead of traditional bumpers. Burper is a shooter where Pumbaa belches gas at falling objects. Hippo Hop is a Frogger-like game where Timon jumps across a river on hippo backs. Slingshooter is a slingshot game where you shoot berries at targets. A fifth mini-game, Bug Drop (based on Puyo Puyo), was omitted from the SNES version.

Released in North America in November 1997 and in PAL territories on March 26, 1998, published by THQ and developed by Tiertex. Critics offered mixed assessments: contemporary reviewers praised Jungle Pinball as "surprisingly good," while noting other games like Burper and Slingshooter are simple and geared toward younger players. The graphics were described as having "old-school charm" with catchy music. However, criticisms included clunky controls, frustrating gameplay in certain modes, and minimal replay value—one reviewer noted seeing everything in "5-10 minutes" and called it "four reskins of old minigames like Space Invaders and Frogger." Some questioned why THQ published this years after The Lion King's peak popularity. The game supports simultaneous two-player multiplayer. While not a masterpiece, it remains a nostalgic curiosity for Disney collectors and younger children.
