Title: Battle Jungler scan (unreleased game)
Post by: akamichi on October 19, 2016, 10:06:59 PM: I was thumbing through my magazines again and came across this little section in PCE Fan...

Battle Jungler
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/1lo5qf03toe2smk/Battle Jungler-PCEFan02-94-p41-s.png?raw=1)

This game was supposedly only shown at Akihabara Laox store in '93 as part of a Konami PCE Festival there. I've seen this game mentioned on some unreleased lists, but never seen pics or had any idea what it was. The clip says this was a remake of Konami's old arcade game, Jungler, and supported 5 players (HuCard). It doesn't seem like this game was ever slated for release unfortunately. I'm guessing it was playable at the event.

Post by: Mathius on October 21, 2016, 01:58:06 PM: Just for posting this thread the value on that prototype, which logically does exist, just shot up from $100 to $75,000,000.65

Now go into the forum's one and only corner and think about what you just did. Go on now! [-X

...thanks for sharing. :)

Post by: shubibiman on October 21, 2016, 09:10:48 PM: I think the value of the proto was already pretty high ;)

The thing is that when I read the article, I understand that it's not a proto, as it was playable and there was a contest (taikai). Some people actually have played this game.
