Jungle Hunt
159K plays 1983 #Action#Platform
Jungle Hunt is a one- or two-player side-scrolling arcade platform game produced and released by Taito in 1982. It was also known as Jungle King in early releases. The player controls a jungle explorer who sports a pith helmet and a safari suit. The player must rescue his girl from a tribe of hungry cannibals. To do this, he must swing from vine to vine, survive a crocodile-infested river, jump or duck falling rocks rolling downhill, and release the girl before she 'takes a dip' in the boiling cauldron. Jungle Hunt is one of the first video games to use parallax scrolling.
The gameplay is split into four scenes, which have different objectives.
