Played by: Mad-Matt
Good version of jungle hunt. Only 4 sections that loop forever, but they do progress in difficulty up to a point. the swinging part especially. -

I've had this Cannibal scene music playing periodically in my head for 30 years. Couldn't place the name of the game. I only knew it was a scene in which the character jumps over moving headhunters. Nice to scratch this itch after all these years! Now I'll always remember where this unique tune resides!

[@Darecki2]

Best game ever

[@LoveDoctorNL]

Parallax scrolling, various different levels, Fun music and good sound effects. This game had it all and amazed my brother and me!

[@GiordanDiodato]

I'm wondering how the 2600 was able to handle this without exploding

[@Nathan_Hale.]

This is one of the best Atari 2600 games. I used to play it as a kid.

[@kenrutherford1109]

I liked the 2600 version, but I hated the 800XL version.

[@TuxKamen]

When playing the boulder run area, my mom had a habit of lifting her controller when she jumped. Just a reflex action, probably :-D

[@mohamed2mohamed]

I used to raise up my leg ... Memories :))

[@brianlane723]

+Mark Carpenter Perhaps she was preparing for the Wii.

[@anotherhomunculus]

Ha ha. My stepmother did the same thing.

[@brunob.7737]

Lol my sister also did it

[@jeremys6370]

Dude, I'm pretty sure it's a mom thing. My mom did the exact same thing. I'd let her play, from Atari all the way up to PS4, and every time she jumps she'd yank the controller.

[@Joona1410]

Surprisingly good for an Atari 2600 game.

[@Baneslayer]

I had this game for my Atari 2600. Loved it soo much.... This game was amazing back in the day.

[@LITTLE1994]

I'm sure it was. This kind of graphics is ahead of its time.

[@delgriffith7949]

It was very much so, i was there too

[@pargent903]

This was my first video game. I love it

[@mellygibbs1193]

Same with me. Except maybe playing Kung fu in the arcade.

[@Stefan_1]

same here

[@lucaboscolopalo7613]

Same here, first time in november 1983

[@jonathanrandall4559]

this brings back some good memories. My all-time fav atari game!

[@danab172]

Omg to hear the sound! It was my favorite! Wow! 38 years ago!

[@GarethAlan81]

The music on the cannibal part, I used to sing along to it "come and jump over me, come and jump over me..."

[@kenrutherford1109]

I LOVE the music in the cannibal stage!

[@alangersain]

Tenia 5 años e iba al Kinder cuando solia jugarlo. Aquel entonces pensaba que eso era lo mejor de esos tiempos. Como han cambiado las cosas que ahora jugando Resident Evil 4 Remake, pienso que es lo mejor del momento y en otros 10 o 15 años más conoceremos algo en el que diremos que "esto" es lo mejor de todo el universo. ¡¡Larga vida a los videojuegos!! 🕹️🎮

[@Brandonmtlhd]

Ah, this brings back memories. I had this game and was so disappointed that it wasn't Jungle King, as well as being nowhere near as the arcade version. The main thing missing is the music. I can still hear that tune in my head...

[@feenix219]

Yup. I came to post the same, my local chuck e cheese had Jungle King well into the late eighties.

[@kenrutherford1109]

The opening music at the beginning of each stage brings back memories of when I played this game back in 1985

[@Nikita_Karmanov]

Hah! This sound before swimming start reminds me AVGN Joker XD

[@psychoadam2003]

Lmao I've seen the AVGN videos a.million times but I have it playing in the background and couldn't sleep and heard that part and decided to look up Jungle Hunt and now I'm here.

[@kenrutherford1109]

I like it when the game start sound repeats itself if you die within 7 seconds of starting the Reptile River stage.

[@kaboomgamer333]

It's weird that the cannibal section is the only one in this port to have music, while in the arcade it was the only segment without it.

[@b00too]

used to love this game

[@sahirjimenez4569]

Omg I remember this game ...bring back some good memories

[@username118z]

Parallax scrolling on Atari 2600!!

...and different background movement :D

[@ace_w_peck]

Moon Patrol has it too

[@VTCharley13]

The cannibal music and the celebration dance at the end were my favorite parts of this game.

[@ExxylcrothEagle]

man, that water looks like it going fast... dude can swim AF

[@johneygd]

Wooow for 1982/1982, this game was really ahead of it’s time, even the atari 2600 versiob did had decent graphics with lot’s of animations in it and theres even some parallax scrolling in it and also the colors do look more vibrant, heck even the SEEMINGLY supermariobros didn’t had animated backgrounds or parallax scrolling despite running on a much more powerful system.

[@Anderson_Anderas]

I always died at the cannibles. :\

[@Baneslayer]

Same. They were insane hard.

[@Ricksta66]

Zylo LOL

[@fmthebaron]

Yep that sound of them jumping back and forth haunted me when I was a kid.

[@mariesummers.]

Lol. Seeing these comments makes me happy.

[@TheDups]

Add another victim to the list. They always got me too :)

[@Lrbearclaw]

The very first video game I played. My parents had this before I was born (in January 1984) and so I grew up playing this, E.T., Pacman and a few others until they got us a NES one day while I was in kindergarten.

[@conejopestilente]

The first timeI played this game and had my first encounter with the cannibal I remembered that I almost cried, I was really terrified to see that and the sound. I mean I was playing in the night and I was a little kid.

[@robertanderson2898]

+coŋejo pestileƞte LOL i was absolutely mortified of the cannibals.....that music, ugh! I still have all my old 2600 games, but no system......

[@zombie-process7025]

+coŋejo pestileƞte That music was the stuff of nightmares. Got my little heart pumping, and I'd sit there sweating and panicking trying to get over the cannibal.

[@Jolgeable]

Kids don't need realistic graphics to experience game immersion.

[@clerwer]

Qué grotesco.

[@IndigoZ0]

i also was fuckin terrified by the cannibals

[@natedablack7857]

I loved this game as a kid!!!

[@delgriffith7949]

You and me both

[@LITTLE1994]

Wow. This is VERY good for a system made way back in 1977. Almost feels like a 16-bit game. That game must be Atari 2600 at its absolute limit.
