Hey, it’s another long weekend? WOOOOOOOOOH! This means that you’re all probably away, and I don’t have to bother with a proper introduction. In fact, I bet nobody is reading this at all! YEAH I’M OFF TO CELEBRATE TOO!
For today’s Throwback Thursday, I thought as far back as I could, to my earliest gaming memories. What turned up surprised me. It wasn’t Lemmings, Stunt Driver, or Scorched Earth that arrived in my mind’s eye first – it was Jill of the Jungle.
Truth be told, I don’t remember much of the game other than that I really, really loved it. I spent countless hours collecting apples (to keep the doctors away), climbing vines, and dodging all kinds of obstacles and enemies. Other than that, it’s all a blur.
What I do actually remember is having to navigate DOS to play it. I memorised exactly what commands my brother punched in so I could enter Jill’s world alone without his assistance.
Jill of the Jungle is so old. I wonder how many of you remember it?
Instead of just watching it, why not play it, right here!

I remember it, and played it. Along with Cosmo’s Cosmic Adventure, Hocus Pocus, Duke Nukem, Commander Keen, all those old side scrollers. They’re still fun to play today.

Did you ever play Timon and Pumbaa’s Jungle games? Or Caveman Olympics… Damn, I was banned from playing the second game on our home PC because spacebar bashing like a baus

Nah never played those. I used to get regular comments about how I was “addicted” to my PC.
