Titled as "Shareware" like many Epic Megagames classics, Jill of the Jungle is one of my favorite platform games I used to play when I was little.
In the great time people used to order their games through company's BBS or via ordinary mail, what made this game one of my favorite beside the nice game-controls and neat levels was actually the background music. It added greatly to the game feeling and enhanced the game play. Back then, game music consisted of PC Speaker sounds coming out of SoundBlaster speakers in high volume. Indeed a refreshing change.
One more nifty feature is the weapons: in the first level, for example, you have a special sword that you throw at your enemies and comes back to you like a boomerang. Nice change from routine guns and bullets.
