I remember Jungle Hunt being super popular in arcades when I was a kid. I saw it everywhere! But did you know there are three different versions of that game? The first is Jungle King, and starred a Tarzan lookalike. The Edgar Rice Burroughs family got wind of this and threated to sue Taito for using a character way too similar to Tarzan, so Taito changed the hero to the pith helmet wearing explorer and the game became Jungle Hunt. While I've seen Jungle Hunt everywhere, I've only seen Jungle King at the National Videogames Museum. The third version of the game I've never seen, though. They reworked it again with a pirate theme and called it Pirate Pete! Crazy, huh?
