|align=center|Back in the day, there were a lot of kids into the Game & Watch series. Quite a few adults as well, honestly. This game was a popular pick, with players controlling two zookeepers as they tried to keep the lions from escaping.

What a simple yet fun game! | |align=center|''No scrolling, only one stage, only a few sounds, and the age of 3D was nothing more than a twinkle in someone's eye.
