   My arcade skills are self-admittedly almost nil, and I couldn't
really figure out either. The oracle delphi said something along the
lines of "grab it while it attacks; your timing must be exact", but
I only managed to beat it once, and that was by accident.

   As a plug, take my GameHacker patches I posted earlier in this
thread, and use them on Ancient Glory. You don't need to kill this
lion to win, as it only gives you some neat armor.

   As I've received a bunch of emails asking just what the heck
Ancient Glory is, it's a sorta arcade game set in ancient Greece.
You're Heracles (the Greek form of the name Hurcules) running around
bashing monsters in order to kill off Medusa. It's published by
Big Red Computer Club for $20, product "AG50", and BRCC can be
contacted at 402-379-4680.
