About:

A renamed Port of "Jungle Hunt/Jungle King" Taito distributed a less successful rebranding of Jungle Hunt as "Pirate Pete" in 1982. Jungle King, along with Moon Patrol released a month earlier, is one of the first video games which has parallax scrolling.

Story:

You start as a pirate swinging from ropes on a ship, then you are swimming in the ocean, killing or avoiding sharks. Next, you are running up a hill jumping over or ducking under rocks. During the last level, you save the girl hanging over the large pot of boiling water from two hungry pirates.
