Jungle Themed Gaming

[Daltone]

I'm looking for suggestions for games with jungle themes. My job is taking me to the middle of nowhere in Cameroon for a few weeks and I fancy playing something that reflects the surroundings.

I'll only have a PSP and a laptop with me, so suggestions should be playable on those natively or by emulation. I'm sure you all love a challenge.

I remember the opening to Flashback being good and jungley, as was the gbc metal gear game. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I was musing the other day that out of the 8 TurboChip games I own for the TG-16, half of them have a "caveman" theme or vibe to them, that being Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge, Legendary Axe, and New Adventure Island, all of which are fun and I'd recommend. Obviously there's also the Jungle Hunt and Congo Bongo arcade classics.

For emulation, you could always go with Adventure Island, or Pitfall if you want to go way back to the past.

For actual PSP games, I have no clue since I never owned one.

First stage of Contra.

As far as Jungle Hunt goes, I highly endorse the brilliant 2600 port.

No mention of Donkey Kong Country, Jungle Strike, or The Jungle Book yet.

Jungle King is better than everything else mentioned so far (besides Adventure Island, that is).

I actually enjoy Pitfall 2, too.

Lode Runner. Has real jungley music too. Simple puzzle platformer.

[FrankSerpico]

If you have a Saturn emulator on that PSP, check out the Congo FPS

[jammajup]

There are a few on various formats including 8-bit - Jungle book,Pitfall games,Predator,Jack the nipper II,Platoon,The lion king,Tarzan

Lode Runner. Has real jungley music too. Simple puzzle platformer.

You mean Lode Runner The Legend Returns on Saturn right? That game does have great music!

These, via PC emulation:

Pitfall: Mayan Adventure for both SNES and Genesis
Jungle Book for both SNES and Genesis
Tarzan for Colecovision
Any DK Country game for SNES

These for PSP:
Crash Bandicoot

[retroman]

Jungle Hunt or Pitfall for the Atari, or any other system they came out on.

[Tanooki]

How about Jill of the Jungle? Might be obscure to some as its dos era old.

[sloan]

Quite a few Jurassic Park SNES and Genesis games could be emulated on PC.

[Flashback2012]

I won't recommend the game because I think it's beyond terrible but Amagon on NES takes place in a jungle.

[Gameguy]

These, via PC emulation:

Pitfall: Mayan Adventure for both SNES and Genesis
Jungle Book for both SNES and Genesis
Tarzan for Colecovision
Any DK Country game for SNES

These for PSP:
Crash Bandicoot
There were actual PC versions of Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure and The Jungle Book, you might opt for those versions rather than emulating console versions.

[FrankSerpico]

Totally forgot to mention Roar for the Genesis, I think it would be right up your alley.

[atari2600land]

via SNES emulation:
Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle Games.
Also, Yoshi's Island is kind of junglish.

[Daltone]

Thanks all. I'm heading back out tomorrow, this time with a full compliment of games!

[Horsehead]

World of Warcraft has a couple of jungle zones. Make a trial account, make your way to one of those zones, and /dance. :P

Survival Kids for Game Boy Color!! My fave "jungle-themed" game, and great for on-the-go, it's all about surviving on a semi-deserted jungle island.

I am sure there's a GB/GBC/GBA emulator for PSP out there somewhere, and i would highly recommend this title!!!!
