Scrabbler15 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 4600 I keep thinking that I should be better at this game, but the score is a biting reality (even when I'm not swimming in the river.) . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Speaking of "biting"... my tip would be to play it safe in the river stage and just evade the crocs. With enough lives to spare, you can most likely get through the boulder stage alive. The good news is that the cannibals have the same jumping pattern and speed as in the easy game. So once you got that down, you won't die there. The bonus points for rescuing the girl are massive and should get everyone from bad scores to at least somewhat decent scores. After rescuing the girl once... well you really need to get down the way to evade the big boulders... which I haven't yet. My score for getting through twice was more coincidence than skill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Tiny improvement. New score on game 2: 34,810. I really don't get the vines in round 3. Seems like the game lets me get through with exactly one life left, and then I manage to grab exactly one vine. Trajectory looks like it's impossible to catch more than one or two in a row before you hit the deck. NCG, how the hell are you doing that? Still no idea how to handle the boulders. I lose a lot of lives in what seems to be absolutely perfectly timed jumps over small boulders. Not to mention the big ones...

karokoenig Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Thanks NCG. Nice run in the first river. Don't let PETA see that video. Jumping the big boulders at the edge of the screen seems to work much better than my method, which is running far towards them, then back and try to duck at the right moment. Maybe if I can spare a life or two in the boulder stages, I get more chances to figure ot the vines. So glad that the cannibals don't change their pattern. That would be even more painful. I never came close to losing a life there, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Bonus : Space Invaders (1978) and the arcade Jungle King (1982), from which the 2600 version was based on, were both made by Taito. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitanClassic Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 From 1985, Ghost n' Goblins. Both games feature a hero who spends a considerable portion of the game in their loin cloth/underwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister-VCS Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Bonus: Congo Bongo- both games play in the jungle and there is water in the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Bonus: Double Dragon (1987). Almost too many parallels to name them all. Both made by Taito, in both you need to save the girl, both play in the jungle. Well, it's an urban jungle in DD, but who the hell cares. Sometimes you jump in Double Dragon... etc... Also, I'm pretty sure I see a tattoo on the upper arm of the Jungle Hunt hero. Prove me wrong. I dare you!
