mattc12341 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Hello, I'm looking to purchase a VCS as a gift for my brother. Our favorite 2600 game has always been Jungle Hunt. Is it included on the VCS vault or is there a way to purchase it or play it on the VCS? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuzaxeman Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Hi, the VCS doesn't offer directly Jungle Hunt in their store or apps. However you can still play it online through chrome or going PC mode and installing a mame emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I wish, but sadly not. Jungle Hunt/King is owned IP from Taito, which to date has not released any of their games on the VCS. Since Taito's been on an AtGames and similar kick in recent years I was hopeful they'd bring their Taito Collection to consoles, including the VCS, but so far it seems stuck on plug and play hardware. For whatever reason Taito seems averse to re-releasing their games on console, the Taito Collections volumes 1 and 2 on Playstation 2 and a few other consoles from that generation was one of the best things ever! And gone ever since except for Arcade1up and plug and plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I find strange is that one would think by now the various companies would be fine with releasing the same games that have been available for the flashback systems onto the VCS, since in many ways it is the 'ultimate' Flashback system. How many of the games from Taito are in Antstream? Seems like that would be the place to play a lot of the classics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Antstream has a little over 30 Taito games, which is nice, but does not have Jungle Hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
