Let's get one thing straight - Jungle Hunt is a shitty game. Maybe one of the shittiest. In the pantheon of Atari classics, Jungle Hunt is one that some people may remember fondly, but they are insane. 

I remember when I was a young boy, my parents bought me Jungle Hunt at Kaybee Toys. It looked awesome. I'd be swinging from vines, knifing alligators, and dodging bouncing rocks.

Basically, Jungle Hunt is divided into three levels of different game play. In the first level, you are swinging from vines like Tarzan. This is difficult. But it's survivable. 

The second level, you're swimming through the river, knifing alligators. This part is sort of fun, and you also have to worry about your oxygen level. 

But it's the third level, where you're running from the right side of the screen to the left, jumping and dodging bouncing rocks that are completely unpredictable, where the game truly sucks. Many a child in the 80s cast down their joystick in abject failure at this part. It is truly horrible. 

If you do make it through the rocks, you return to the first level for harder difficulty - ah, the Atari.
