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).Distressed Dude: The prince in episode 3.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. These apples are actually accessible through level 7.
If you jump around on the nearby blocks you can see some apples behind the wall that you can't reach. Disconnected Side Area: The first level of the first game starts you off next to a wall.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. Compilation Rerelease: In 1993, a compilation of all three episodes were released as Jill of the Jungle: The Complete Trilogy.Some maps include multiple levels (denoted by the level number being displayed in blocks on the ground), essentially serving the purpose of checkpoints. Checkpoint: When you die, you return to the start of the current level (though progress through the level is usually saved).Big Red Devil: Midway through "Jill Goes Underground," around the time Jill enters Heck, she will start encountering red demons with wings and horns that can shoot fire rings at her.Amazonian Beauty: Jill is very attractive and very muscular.Anti-Frustration Features: Turtle mode runs the game at half-speed, for those having trouble with some difficult jumps.Action Girl: One of the first in PC Gaming to be based on an original license, rather than come from a console-to-PC port, such as how Lara Croft of Tomb Raider fame would do four years after Jill's release by leaping from PlayStation to home computers.In November 2018, the entire series was released for free on GOG.com. It was however rescued by Six Pound Sledge Studios and released in the form a spiritual successor as Vinyl Goddess from Mars. A sequel was planned, but Epic Megagames didn't like its overall quality, and scrapped in favor of Jazz Jackrabbit. 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. The game had VGA graphics and Soundblaster support for effects and FM synthesis music. The game's tagline was "No more 'save the princess' games!". 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). Jill of the Jungle, released in 1992, was one of Epic Megagames' early games for MS-DOS.
