It was initially released as ''Jungle King''. ''Jungle Hunt'' is one of the first video games to use parallax scrolling. The player controls an unnamed jungle explorer sporting a pith helmet and a safari suit. The player attempts to rescue his girl from a tribe of hungry cannibals by swinging from vine to vine, swimming a crocodile-infested river, jumping over or ducking beneath rolling rocks, then releasing the girl before she is lowered into a boiling cauldron. Home versions were released for the Apple II, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 8-bit family, Commodore 64, ColecoVision, VIC-20, and IBM PC. The PC version was developed by Sierra On-Line and is incompatible with anything except an original IBM PC/XT with a CGA video card. In the Atari-ported versions the hero is named Sir Dudley, and the girl, married to Sir Dudley, is Lady Penelope. ==History== ''Jungle Hunt'' changed names several times during development. The original prototypes were called ''Jungle Boy'' and later became Jungle King for release to the arcades.〔("Jungle King / Jungle Boy" )''〕 In these earlier versions the playable character was a bare-chested man with a loincloth who resembled Tarzan. Taito were sued by the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate for copyright infringement for using the character's likeness. This led to a rerelease as ''Jungle Hunt'',〔("Jungle Hunt" )〕 with the following changes made to the game: * The character was replaced with a jungle explorer wearing a pith helmet and safari outfit. * In the first scene, ropes replace the vines as the objects that the player has to swing on. * The Tarzan yell was removed and cannot be heard throughout the game. It was replaced by the music from the end of the second scene. Taito Brazil (Taito do Brasil) released a version of the game in 1983, also under the title ''Jungle Hunt'', which included the bare-chested character and the Tarzan yell. Yet another variant of the game was called ''Pirate Pete''. Gameplay in this version was identical to ''Jungle Hunt'', but the character was replaced with a pirate (complete with eye patch) and the levels had a pirate theme.〔("Pirate Pete" )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jungle Hunt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
