AGA Game of the Month for April, 2020, is Brian the Lion!

In this game, you play Brian, the lion that closely resembles the Paddle Pop mascot. You must carry out the task of rescuing your friend Chris the Crystal, who has been kidnapped by Geeza the Dragon. His other warped jungle animal friends, Barry the Bear and Graeme the Gorilla, prevent you from getting to him and rescuing your friend.

Your job is to run through each level, destroying enemies that get in your way by either "clawing" them or jumping on their heads. Along the way, collect as many crystals as you can so that you can use them at the shop to buy extra lives, credits, heavenly hit points, jinormous jumps, really raj roars (which also kills enemies), and splendid speed. There are many secret areas in a level, some will take you on a different route other than the one you take when you reach the level exit. However, you must complete certain levels in order to progress further in the game, but you can return to a level that you have completed. You are given enough time to complete the level. If you run out of time before you reach the exit, you will receive no bonus. Furthermore, you do not get to access one of the three bonus levels that you can choose from if you do.

Hi all,

I tried this game today.

It is not bad, but the issue I had is when you eventually die and it’s game over you can’t see what score you got!!!

It is impossible to put up any scores!

If anyone knows a way around this please let me know.

Catcha,
Epsilon

Hi all, and hi Epsilon!
Intrigued by your high score dilemma I thought I would give this one a quick go. Probably not a great score, but you've gotta be in it to win it!!
All I did was say no at the end when it asked to continue and it went back to the main menu. Then after a bit it cycled to the high score of the day.
My score, 7500, on my Amiga 1200

Hi Ninjakat,

Thanks for the heads up on where to see the final score.

I had another go at the game today on my A4000t running Amikit Real with Workbench 3.9.

My best score was 47850.

Over to you all!

Catcha,

Finally got around to giving this a try.

It's quite decent!

I got 56600 on my 4000d

Ok, upped my score a bit to 46400 just to stay in the top 3... plays great on my Amiga 1200.
Thought I was doing ok until I met 'Barry' the Bear! no idea what to do with him... might have to check the interwebs!

Played on my Amiga 1200, Normal mode.

Barry is quite easy to defeat. Jump on his head when he gets close!
If you time it right, you can defeat him just before the timer runs out and then you can attempt a bonus round

That reminds me...I'd better upload my new high score when I'm around a computer again!

quantum8 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 28, 2020, 02:50:47 pm »

As promised, 122850 on my a4000.

WOW! Awesome job mate!

quantum8 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 29, 2020, 05:28:04 pm »

I didn't get any further, but did discover a few new secret levels along the way.
New high score of 151450.
