Guide a jungle man through multiple dangers to rescue the heroine in this 1982 Taito arcade game. One of the first side-scrolling platformers, it was the first game with a ducking mechanic. Game graphics and name were changed to "Jungle Hunt" after the Burroughs estate sued Taito for infringing upon "Tarzan" copyrights.

Basic at a point where Arcades were starting to expand their general ideas. Mostly interesting for unlicensed use of Tarzan cry. Vine swinging is good, Alligator screen is fiddly, rock jumping is better in Moon Patrol, last screen is disproportionately short (but maybe for the best?). Quick loop.
