Jungle Jake

Jake's friend hangs in a cage at the top left of the jungle. Four floors of roots and trunks are joined by vines at alternate ends: walk right along the bottom floor, climb the vine, walk left along the next, and so on, then jump from the top floor to the cage. The button jumps, held for as long as it is held, and Jake can steer in mid-air. Five pests roam each of the seven levels: asps, birds, warthogs, monkeys on the vines, snakes, diving birds and big cats. Touching one costs one of four lives. Free the friend on all seven levels to be the JUNGLE JAKE CHAMPION.

Controls: The joystick (either controller): left and right walk, either button jumps (hold it to keep jumping).
