I loved this game; Tempest, Asteroids, Dig Dug, Ms. PAC Man were also my arcade faves. My 10 y.o self in ‘82 is watching this with some tears in my 46 y.o eyes👾👩🏻🎤
I remember this game in a huge arcade at the sea, during the holidays of 1989. Nobody ever play this game, since it was so old, and all the kids play instead Superman by Taito. I mean, it was really an unfair comparison... Well, now, after 34 years, I can finally watch someone playing it! :)
Wow fantastic I loved this game I was on holiday in Tobago Hotel majorca 1983 spent complete 2 weeks playing this game completely hooked LOL Thanks for the memories
The Rice Burrooghs estate, ones who had the rights to the Tarzan character, gave a cease and desist order to the game maker. So they replaced Jungle King to Jungle Hunt with a British Explorer..
Not only is the arcade game good but this game has some of the BEST conversion ports of any old arcade game! This game was balls hard but was well worth it!
Jungle King,[b] is a side-scrolling action game developed by Taito and released for arcades in 1982. It was originally distributed as Jungle King, then quickly modified and re-released as Jungle Hunt due to a copyright dispute over the player character's likeness to Tarzan. Jungle King, along with Moon Patrol released a month earlier, is one of the first video games with parallax scrolling. The player controls an unnamed character moving through horizontally scrolling scenes to rescue a woman from cannibals by jumping from vine to vine, swimming a crocodile-infested river, and avoiding rolling rocks. In the original Jungle King release, the loincloth-wearing character resembles Tarzan. In the rebranded Jungle Hunt, the player character is an explorer, sporting a pith helmet and safari suit. Another re-theming of the arcade version was distributed as Pirate Pete in 1982. Home versions of Jungle Hunt were published by Atari, Inc., sometimes under the Atarisoft label, for Apple II, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 8-bit computers, ColecoVision, Commodore 64, VIC-20, and IBM PC compatibles.
I just noticed it now and the thought I have is: there were actually 4 heroes, who said hey let's each try to save this chick from those crazy cannibals! :D
@@AloanMoreira1 Yes. At least they got the woman's hair right. Well... her skin color isn't same. Maybe there are two women, and nothing in this game has anything to do with anything. This game loops after kissing part, and even though the fields are similar, the characters have brand new colors again :D
This game was probably re-released as Jungle King because of the possibility that Taito would get sued by the copyright owners of the Tarzan franchise.
I would like to see this game revisited, but make it like more freestyle, like climb up on to a tree and then swing the vines yourself, but also make it more non-linear, like Pitfall The Lost Expedition.
Amazing! For the last week I have been trying to remember the name of this game. And here it is! Maybe someone can help me with another one? There was game I used to play that was in a classroom and I remember you banged your head on a desk. That's all I remember about the game, except that it was fun and I was good at it. Any help?
Wait has anyone notice his hair color changes from dark to blonde, to redhead, to when he transitions to different scenes. And Jane is cheating on Tarzan. Cause isn't she in Jungle Hunt also where the Safari guy saves her also. I think she have some explaning to do. You Love him. Yeah right. Lol

Tempest was cool.
This was a cool game. It actually holds up well.
LOL, that Tarzan yell is epic.
To this day I cant get this music out of my head!
Same here, I'm always humming it at random for no reason.
try getting the theme in the cannibal level on the Atari version of jungle hunt out of your head.
Same here.
The music in this video is skipping. Disappointed ☹️
@@tekubus there's a better video out. This isn't the best one.

jesus christ
the scream, man. The scream
T_oro when i know is from Greoge In The Jungle in Disney Movie
Actually, that was the original Tarzan Yell made famous by Johnny Weissmuller.
And that is why they had to alter game to second version.
This game brings awesome memories
Every other Tuesday night at Safeway while my parents were getting groceries, I played this, and couldn't even get past the first stage.
Same here. Ha ha 😂
0:18 I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard at something in my entire life.
I haven't played this game since 1995 lol wow thats crazy my dad and I played the hell out of this game at the old arcade room
Loved this game!
An arcade era classic! Never could figure out why the guy's hair kept changing color.
Fantastic.. such strong water it bleached it straight away
The Rice Burrooghs estate, ones who had the rights to the Tarzan character, gave a cease and desist order to the game maker. So they replaced Jungle King to Jungle Hunt with a British Explorer..
so they sent tarzan back to england and he returned as greystoke. still canon!
Not only is the arcade game good but this game has some of the BEST conversion ports of any old arcade game!
This game was balls hard but was well worth it!
I spent all my pocket money on this game in early 80s
I played this with my kids at a hotel in Inverrary, in the Ft Lauderdale area. I was never an arcade gamer, but we just loved this game.
che bei tempi questo segna la nostra vecchiaia😃😃😃
Holy cow I totally forgot about this game. Pumped a ton of quarters into it.
These arcade sounds kept me under a spell or something back in the day I'd stay for hours at the arcade lol
Used up a lot of quarters playing this decades ago. 😳🤣🧐

One of my favorite games
AH....THE NOSTALGIA..😊
The title of this game was later changed to "Jungle Hunt" due to a copyright conflict with "Tarzan: King of the Jungle".
They also changed the main charachter sprite, from Tarzan to an explorer.
I so miss arcades
Whoaaa! This game was awesome!
The jingles are hipnotic🤩👍
it really bugged me as a kid how his hair kept changing colors
I just noticed it now and the thought I have is: there were actually 4 heroes, who said hey let's each try to save this chick from those crazy cannibals! :D
@@AloanMoreira1 quadruplets. 😛
@@AloanMoreira1 5, if you count ending screen.
@@DuckJohnn Oh so the last (non hero) guy has the last laugh huh? :D
@@AloanMoreira1 Yes. At least they got the woman's hair right. Well... her skin color isn't same. Maybe there are two women, and nothing in this game has anything to do with anything.

I remember playing this on MAME back in 2004ish. Cant comment on its original release though due to controversy with the Tarzan clone.
That game was hard when i was an kid then!
I had this on c64. Never beat that last screen!
I remember playing this on a friend’s Atari.
Fantastic !
Sonic Glitched Series Brought me Here.
0:18 I know this was 1982 but Jesus that sounded like some fuck right there.
This game was probably re-released as Jungle King because of the possibility that Taito would get sued by the copyright owners of the Tarzan franchise.
Luis Reyes yes
You mean Jungle Hunt.
Jogo muito bom até k em f te achei agora vou tenta compra
Simplemente fantástica, su música!😂
Why does the ending song sound like George Harrison's song Johnny's Birthday???
懐かしいなぁ
良いゲームだった
I remember this game.
Apparently he needs to go super saiyan to swim.
I played in 1985
Same in here
such a classic
I would like to see this game revisited, but make it like more freestyle, like climb up on to a tree and then swing the vines yourself, but also make it more non-linear, like Pitfall The Lost Expedition.
Don't be afraid.
(It's just a video game!)
My time❤
That Tarzan yell made my ears bleed
Why is the audio track messed up?
Black Hair dye rinse out in river 1:27
He went from black hair to blonde to redhead to fucking Pinkie Pie.
Dangerous chemicals in jungle.
Epic comment
Played this as a kid and I was absolutely bad .-.
1. Load game
2. Press `
3. Press < < < < until screen reads "-6d"
4. Press '
Thank you!
I'm from the "insert coin" era. A whole other animal

what the hell was that scream
Great game
Cant find it for the life of me..
Eita...finalmente encontrei o nome do jogo...
A shame the last 20 seconds of the video are covered up by those fucking cards.
Not much for your quarter, was it?
最初のロープ、えらい消極的だねぇ。
😱. You brought me back. WTF? Salute 🫡
The movements of the main character were more serio-comic in "JK" than "JH".
Seems like 5 different kings because of the color limitations. However, colors could have been used smarter
there have been many Tarzans over the years... or maybe he is just so bada$$ that he colors his hair in between adventure scenes
Find this game funny and amusing.😂😄😂😄😂
Wonder why his hair changed color
Wait has anyone notice his hair color changes from dark to blonde, to redhead, to when he transitions to different scenes. And Jane is cheating on Tarzan. Cause isn't she in Jungle Hunt also where the Safari guy saves her also. I think she have some explaning to do. You Love him. Yeah right. Lol
Lol they changed it because of legal action from the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Como que eu faço pára baxa esse jogo
For 1982, the graphics here are stunningly lame.
That boy is look like Tarzan
0:19 ese grito me hacía cagar de risa
Che si fa per la gnocca!
