Collector interest

The Lion King, the American version of Virgin Interactive's platformer drawn from the Disney film, distinct from the European pressing. Released on its home market at the height of the film's success, it draws fans of Disney platformers keen to gather the title's regional variants. Its collecting interest centres on that comparison between editions rather than on any rarity of its own.
