The Lion King Activity Center features several mini games to play, as well as grainy clips to watch from the original movie.

Unused Audio

In the game, Zazu's "welcome" speech is overlaid on the background music. However, three additional recordings can be found in the sounds folder.

Two of these are the same as the final, just without the accompanying music. One has a longer pause before telling you to click on Simba's paw print, but is otherwise identical to this one.

The other is a much earlier recording, and has an extension of .WA1 instead of the usual WAV that the other recordings have. Here, Zazu assumes that you already know who he is.

Unused Graphics

Placeholder Pride Lands

A placeholder for the main map of the Pride Lands has been left in the BACKGND folder, right next to the finalised version. This early version uses a screenshot of Simba from the movie and the rest of the hub, including game icons, have been completely redrawn for the final.

"TEMP" Movie Icons

Inside the Magic Pool folders are temporary icons for the movies. They're very similar to the final versions.

Early Spelling Configuration

An earlier version of the configuration settings for the Spelling Game can be found in the folder. It is largely the same as the final, but some lines have been modified:

PSP Browser

Inside the Stamp folder is a Paint Shop Pro 8 browser for viewing the entire gallery at once in, well, Paint Shop Pro.

DELSELF

Inside the game's main directory is a file entitled 'DELSELF', which seems to be for deleting directory files. In addition to this, a shortcut to the same file is right next to it.

Placeholder About Box

The Mac application's resource fork includes the same unfinished "About" dialog found in The Adventures of Batman & Robin Activity Center.
