Game Introduction

The differences between this game and Jungle King are the player character is a heroic pirate instead of the Tarzan character, he swings on ropes between ship's masts instead of vines between trees, swims through a shark-infested ocean instead of a crocodile-infested river, the enemies on the fourth level are sword-wielding pirates instead of spear-chucking cannibals and an opening musical theme is used in certain parts of the game instead of the opening Tarzan yell.

Game Play

The game play is exactly the same as Jungle King.
