Jill of the Jungle, released in 1992, was one of Epic Megagames' early games for MS-DOS. A side-scrolling platformer, the game consisted of three episodes: "Jill of the Jungle" (shareware), "Jill Goes Underground" and "Jill Saves the Prince" (Registered version only). The game's tagline was "No more 'save the princess' games!". The game had VGA graphics and Soundblaster support for effects and FM synthesis music. While nearly forgotten today, the success of the game gave Epic Megagames the money to develop the Unreal engine that would become the basis of so many modern video games. A sequel was planned, but Epic Megagames didn't like its overall quality, and scrapped in favor of Jazz Jackrabbit. It was however rescued by Six Pound Sledge Studios and released in the form a spiritual successor as Vinyl Goddess from Mars.In November 2018, the entire series was released for free on GOG.com. You can get it here. | |

Flying Weapon | |
| Jill of the Jungle (Video Game) / int_216c3bf0 | comment |
Flying Weapon: The daggers are thrown, then automatically fly directly back to Jill so that they can be thrown again. They can get stopped by obstacles, causing them to sink after some time. | |

Lava Is Boiling Kool-Aid | |
| Jill of the Jungle (Video Game) / int_24c48358 | comment |
Lava Is Boiling Kool-Aid: Like early Super Mario Bros. games, lava is basically shown as red water. If Jill becomes a phoenix, it's possible to swim through the lava. | |

Palette Swap: Jill's skimpy clothes have a different color in each episode- green in the first, red in the second and blue in the third- but are otherwise identical. | |

Super Drowning Skills | |
| Jill of the Jungle (Video Game) / int_34bd7be2 | comment |
Super Drowning Skills: Played straight and averted in an odd way. First off, touching the surface of water kills Jill instantly. Waterfalls don't. However, it's averted due to the bizarre programming: it's possible for Jill to go underwater by falling through a waterfall and going underwater, provided she doesn't touch the tile that represents the surface of the water. | |

Uncommon Time | |
| Jill of the Jungle (Video Game) / int_38da8916 | comment |
Uncommon Time: The song titled "Seven," which is played at the end of the first game and in a couple levels in the third, is in 7/8 time and is quite pleasing. The song "Peaks" from Jill Goes Underground, which kind of serves as bookends and an intermission, seems to be a 6/8 or 12/8 time, and the melody is extremely meandering and sort of disjointed sounding. Another song, "Moby Dick", seems to be 6/8 or 12/8 or something similar, but is darker and more menacing, with a trippy little swing section. | |

Compilation Re-release | |
| Jill of the Jungle (Video Game) / int_4a932556 | comment |
Compilation Re-release: In 1993, a compilation of all three episodes were released as Jill of the Jungle: The Complete Trilogy. Despite the name of the 2018 GOG re-release of the game, it is not The Complete Trilogy version*The Complete Trilogy release puts players in unique splash screen featuring each game, but rather the individual three games repackaged into a single download. | |

Checkpoint | |
| Jill of the Jungle (Video Game) / int_4e92cd2d | comment |
Checkpoint: When you die, you return to the start of the current level (though progress through the level is usually saved). Some maps include multiple levels (denoted by the level number being displayed in blocks on the ground), essentially serving the purpose of checkpoints. | |

Excuse Plot | |
| Jill of the Jungle (Video Game) / int_70d8269d | comment |
Excuse Plot: The first episode has basically no plot beyond "you're in the jungle, go kill monsters"; the second episode's plot amounts to "find a way out of the Underground" (which you ended up in by wandering around the jungle killing monsters). Only the third episode gives you a more concrete goal, namely to rescue the prince who has been kidnapped by lizard people. | |

What the Hell, Player?: Trying to leave the final level without rescuing the prince results in the game screaming at you to go back and do it right. | |

Later-Installment Weirdness: "Jill Saves The Prince" introduces a top-down overhead map for the overworld. The previous two installments, the first of which had a Hub Level and the second of which did not, were pure sidescrollers. | |

Feminist Fantasy: Lampshaded by the tagline: "No more 'save the princess' games!" Instead, it featured a mighty heroine fighting monsters in the jungle, and later rescuing the prince. | |

Take That!: The shareware edition of Episode 1 has quite a few phrased as news bulletins aimed at a number of other contemporary games, such as Duke Nukem, Commander Keen, Pac-Man and Super Mario Bros.. The registered version, however, lacks these amusing barbs. | |

Interchangeable Antimatter Keys: Both types of doors (regular ones and gemstone barriers) follow the principle. It is even frequently used as an aspect of level design: collect all the keys scattered in a large area, then exit the level behind septuple consecutive locked doors. | |

Disconnected Side Area | |
| Jill of the Jungle (Video Game) / int_c32d3344 | comment |
Disconnected Side Area: The first level of the first game starts you off next to a wall. If you jump around on the nearby blocks you can see some apples behind the wall that you can't reach. These apples are actually accessible through level 7. Levels 2 and 14, and 11 and 12, also take place in separate parts of the same map, though it's not quite as obvious as with 1 and 7. | |
