vprette Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 is there any people able/interested in developing (official) jungle hunt for intellivision? I can propose a revenue on this, so let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Sounds interesting. I may be interested once I finish Christmas Carol. Are there game technical specs, or do we have to reverse-engineer them based on observations of the arcade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there game technical specs, or do we have to reverse-engineer them based on observations of the arcade? I would say reverse engineer OK, I'm still in. Send me a PM with some details. However, I won't be able to work on it for at least a couple of months while I finish Christmas Carol. As far as I recall, there only four screens: Swinging from trees, swimming with crocodiles, running up the hill with rocks, and the cannibals with the cauldron. Right? I'll spend some time in MAME to figure it out. Edited January 17, 2012 by DZ-Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to play it now with a programmer's critical eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cparsley Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I played Jungle Hunt a lot personally, and you are correct... The modifications in new trips through came from wierder angles (speed, etc) of the vines in stage 1, more of the faster (and wider traveling crocs) in stage 2, More of the bounding (and half bounding) boulders in stage 3, and faster moving (but not by much usually as this was the pushover of the 4) in stage 4 of each repeat. I'd be willing to help as well if needed on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be willing to help as well if needed on this. Stage 4 also featured a guy shooting a dart (arrow?) at you from a tree, at least in the arcade version. Also don't forget the monkey on Stage 1.

Wow, I had forgotten about the monkey. I'll need to fire up MAME tonight and check it out. Jungle Hunt was always one of my favorite arcade games. -dZ.

cparsley Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The guy in question was removed in virtually all home ports... I also don't remember the monkey as again he was removed from almost all home ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't remember the monkey as again he was removed from almost all home ports. I don't know of a home port with the little guy on stage 4, but the monkey is in the Atari 8-bit/5200 port.

1980gamer Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Can you add Tarzan as an option? I think it was very similar. Just graphics? Maybe the order of the screens... It could be a 2 for 1 cart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberArcade Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 You should do it as Jungle King and have the tarzan guy in there instead of Jungle Hunt with the safari guy. Great game either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If its an official version the programmer will have to go with whatever the licence dictates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Why stop at four screens? Why not add a few different ones? afterall, Pitfall have a ton of "different" screens..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vprette Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 If its an official version the programmer will have to go with whatever the licence dictates. jungle hunt was born to avoid problem from jungl king resembling tarzan Taito can manage only jungle hunt license Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
