Notes : Jungle Boy was the prototype name for Jungle King.
Jungle King features the Tarzan yell at certain parts of the game. Taito later released a nearly identical game called Jungle Hunt (below) after the trustees of Edgar Rice Burroughs' estate, the people who own the rights to Tarzan, sued them for copyright infringement for using the character's likeness.
In Jungle Hunt, the Tarzan character was replaced with a jungle explorer clad in a pith-helmet and safari jacket. On the first level, the vines were replaced by ropes. Also, there is no Tarzan yell at all throughout the game.
