Atari 5200 Super System

JUNGLE HUNT

· At least 2 prototype versions are known to exist.  One, dated 4-7-83, mainly consists of the first part (vines) and is very incomplete.  The other, dated 5-2-83, is nearly complete, with only a few minor differences.

· The 5200 version has some slight differences with the 400/800 version – besides the title screen (picture #1), it lacks an attract mode and the waterfall “hiss” sound in the boulder scene.  Also, if your explorer falls from a vine, he doesn’t land upside-down (picture #2).

· BUG: Beat the first level. While your remaining time is being added to your score (during the congratulations screen) press RESET and start a new game.  Your time will still be added to your score, but it uses the current timer (which starts at 9990), which nets you a nice bonus!  On the river scene, the air meter will never go down – it must be tied in with the timer, which is still showing 0000.  The timer gets reset once you hit the boulder screen, but it starts a 9990 so you'll once again get mega bonus points when you beat the level.
