OriginalJohn Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 119,250. Talk about even worse controls than Mouse Trap, this game is practically unplayable. I would get to the top of the pyramid without getting hit, and have time to yell, but Tarzan would not come off the vine. Drop down to the bottom, punch the monkey to build strength back up and make another attempt. Rather than appear to be point pressing (which on this game you can do indefinitely), I gave up and just let him die. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFF31 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 "Tarzan no like this game. 0 pts." As mentioned controls are weird. I'll keep trying... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 This is one of those games that, at least for me, plays better on real hardware than in emulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Super participation point. The controls are so sluggish that it has me wondering if something is messed up in my emulation. Tarzan seems to freeze up after doing anything. Too frustrating to play, which is unfortunate b/c it looks like a cool game. 5,250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 This guy seems to be enjoying it a lot... Of course, the first thing I notice is that the game isn't inserted entirely into the system. You can see it wobble a little, hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFF31 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 41500 - do not like this game. I also remembered that this was a game I had time to play in one of the rounds years ago. I stayed on screen 'one' to see if I could defeat the ape(?). After about 50 punches I got bored (and 10 minutes of time) and moved on. My scored counted but this was deemed 'parking' even though nothing (at the time) says you need to move forward. I did not do that here. Still a bad game - I'm sure current programmers could make this game better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe throw in some lions...and piranhas in the water. I used to punch the ape frequently, but it gets too boring. Now one punch...two at the most (if he comes after me) and I move on to the next screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuggerVideoGames Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 [Skill 2]: 107,750 pts. Damn monkey's useless, in my opinion. He doesn't warn you about the hole until you're already in the hole. That's why I spend most of my time just swinging on the vines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
