JungleTac Interactive Co., Ltd., commonly known as JungleTac, was a Chinese company that produced 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit games and consoles. Circa 2010, they would found a new company, M Sky Co., Ltd., where they would shift their focus towards producing children's amusement machines. Any activity from JungleTac appears to have stopped after the 2010s.

Its business & technical team was located in Shenzhen, its software development team in Fuzhou & finance and export office in Hong Kong.

Company history

JungleTac appears to have its origins in the gaming accessory manufacturer Lite Star, which produced a series of plug & play consoles in the early 2000s, some of which were based around the UM6578 chip and came with games credited to "DJ-Jungle". JungleTac's Hong Kong company was founded on 5th June 2002 and adopted the name "JungleTac Interactive Co., Limited" on 4th September 2002. Lite Star would stop releasing new plug & plays around this time, while JungleTac's early products were similar or identical to Lite Star's in terms of design and software, so it is likely that Lite Star's former plug & play R&D division was transferred to JungleTac. JungleTac's own website stated a 1999 founding date for its Shenzhen product research & design center, which would seem to correspond to the time Lite Star began developing its own plug & plays.

Although JungleTac itself was only known to have operated in mainland China and Hong Kong, its company bio in 2003 described it as a "professional TV game manufacturer originated from Taiwan" while the successor company M Sky claimed it was founded in Taiwan in 1994. The nature of any predecessor or affiliated Taiwanese business is unknown, but may be related to Lite Star's former incarnation as Lee Star (see Lite Star company history).

"DJ-Jungle", the name credited in UM6578-based games on Lite Star and early JungleTac consoles, appears to have been a development team associated with Wise Wang and not directly part of JungleTac. JungleTac itself stated that it "decided to align itself as a professional game developer in year 2002", and from 2003 they began releasing products with new games developed by a different team. Initially this may have been Fuzhou Ruanxin Electronic Technology Research Co., Ltd. working as a subcontractor, but a Fuzhou subsidiary company of JungleTac named 丛林互动科技开发（福州）有限公司 would be formally incorporated on 3rd September 2004, employing former Ruanxin staff.

Games overview

NES/VT

The first set of JungleTac games were released around 2003. They ran on the rather uncommon UM6578 NES-on-a-chip, and their library consisted of the following: hacks and originals developed by a group only referred to as "DJ-Jungle", which were previously released on Lite Star's plug and plays starting in 2001, and unique games by the development team that would later become JungleTac’s in-house developers. In the same year, JungleTac would also progressively start to move towards producing consoles using hardware in the VTxx line, specifically using both the VT03 and VT09; a few of the DJ-Jungle games were converted for these platforms, but their music (and in some cases, gameplay) was significantly downgraded. In the late 2000s, development shifted to VT3xx hardware (either VT368, VT369 or VT389). Many new VT3xx titles were developed, in addition to upgrading most (if not all) of the VT09 library. Very few standard VT02 games were released by JungleTac, though there are a handful of exceptions to this. JungleTac would also release a series of handhelds, named the Classic Max Pocket, that used VT168 hardware and came with unique games specifically developed for the platform.

One of JungleTac's distributors, Lexibook, would include altered versions of games from their VT3xx library that feature licenses such as Spider-Man and Frozen. These games are rather difficult to document, due to only releasing in certain parts of Europe - but they all appear to be hacks of already existing titles and nothing fully original.

On plug & play/handheld systems from the mid-2000s onward, many of the title screens for JungleTac's games were hacked out, or in some cases never existed to begin with. Due to the absence of title screens, many 2000s consoles would feature the games under altered titles, often varying by the console's publisher or manufacturer. Games marked with an asterisk (*) are confirmed to be the original name; others may be incorrect.

There is an unknown development company affiliated with JungleTac, who has produced both variations of JungleTac games and otherwise-original titles. It is unknown what this company is actually called, and they are known to just be credited as "JungleTac" on certain releases; despite seemingly not being JungleTac itself. A similar group of "ex-Subor developers" are also affiliated with JungleTac, having produced versions of UM6578 titles from their Fuzhou team.

Sunplus/Game Boy Advance

Sometime between the Famiclone-based releases, proprietary 16-bit and 32-bit titles were developed by JungleTac for Sunplus-based devices, as well as ports of those games for Game Boy Advance hardware. This library is mostly different from the VT titles, although there are still a few carry-overs.

The Sunplus games seem to have first appeared on a rare series of Disney-licensed handhelds known as Disney Game It!. This is evidenced by many "generic" variations of the games retaining various Disney assets - sometimes not changing any graphics at all.

8-bit and VT-based Games

DJ-Jungle games

Original games and hacks of NES/Famicom games made for UM6578 hardware by DJ-Jungle that were redistributed in JungleTac game sets (i.e., on systems not originally produced by Lite Star). The versions of DJ-Jungle's hacks in JungleTac's UM6578 game sets have completely replaced music, possibly to avoid legal issues. For more information on these games, see the "Games" section on the DJ-Jungle page.

• Balloon Boy 2 - Hack of Balloon Fight.
• Big Racing
• Block Shock - Hack of the NES version of Arkanoid.
• GP Race - Hack of Road Fighter.
• Jewel Master - Hack of Magic Jewelry.
• Jump Car - Hack of the U.S. version of Bump 'n' Jump.
• Move Fun
• Omega Zone - Hack of Galaga.
• Race One - Hack of F-1 Race.
• Racing Pioneer - Hack of Road Fighter.
• Space Castle
• Ultra Doggy

VTxx versions

Versions of the DJ-Jungle games developed for VTxx hardware would start being included on JungleTac's consoles on or after 2003. These versions were developed by the team that would eventually become JungleTac's in-house developers working for their Fuzhou subsidiary. These versions of DJ-Jungle's games feature differences in gameplay and color palettes compared to the originals and use generic 8-bit JungleTac music. All listed games are known to have had VT03 and VT09 revisions produced.

• Big Racing* - Compared to the UM6578 original, the actual race track is just a straight line despite the preview in the HUD remaining unchanged.
• GP Race* - Compared to the UM6578 original, the VTxx version is seemingly reprogrammed from scratch, no longer using any original code from Road Fighter.
• Jewel Master* - Conversion of the UM6578 hack with reprogrammed game logic. Later hacked to create Fruit (VT09). This game would also be ported to VT168 hardware for the horizontal 12 in 1 Classic Max Pocket, which has different graphics and MIDI-style music, as well as a title screen with a "Jungle^SOFT 2007" copyright notice. This port would then receive a conversion for VT3xx hardware with different graphics and generic 8-bit JungleTac music, which in turn would be the basis for many Lexibook "licensed" variants.
• Move Fun*
• Space Castle* - Later hacked to create Colony (VT09) and Quick Shot (VT09).
  • This game would also be ported to VT168 hardware for the horizontal 12 in 1 Classic Max Pocket. This port has a unique title screen, removes music, and uses sampled audio for sound effects.
• Ultra Doggy* - Later hacked to create Wild River (VT09).

Tiltboy (VT02)

The Tiltboy is an uncommon plug & play where the controller is physically rotated to control movement. This release is the only major VT02 production by JungleTac (excluding those from the unknown affiliated developer). Many of these games would also receive UM6578 ports for other JungleTac systems.

These games were originally produced without title screens. Two of the games, Motor Rally and Runner Car, would later be rebranded under the Speed Racer license with added title screens (retitled Rally Racer and Fast Runner, respectively).

• Aero Engine - Clone of Gradius. Two versions of this game for UM6578 hardware are known to exist: one was produced for JungleTac’s UM6578 game sets, and the other is an alternate version produced by the “ex-Subor developer” group named Alien Attack.
• Bingo Zap - Maneuver the marble into the hole.
• Birdie Nest - Catch the bird's eggs into your hands while avoiding touching its poop or letting it go off-screen. The pause function seems to be broken.
• Insect Chase - Catch the butterflies into your net.
• Last Cabra - A top-down shooting game.
• Motor Rally - A pseudo-3D racing game similar to Pole Position. Features a straight track with no turns.
• Ocean Quest - A side-scrolling racing game.
• Pinball Track - Move the marble through the track without it falling into the holes.
• Runner Car - A top-down racing game.
• Spin Ball - Similar to Pinball Track, but without any holes.

Additional Tiltboy-based racing games

A large amount of additional racing games were produced based on the same engine(s) as the three Tiltboy racing titles (Motor Rally, Ocean Quest, and Runner Car). These games often feature near-identical mechanics and graphic design to each other. Several of these games would later be rebranded under the Speed Racer license with added title screens.

At least three of the Tiltboy-derived games - Road Bumper, Speedy Way X, and VR Racing - were originally designed for the "Super Moto" console series. The Super Moto systems are plug & plays that attach to a child-sized, display motorcycle with a seat. The aforementioned games feature "Super Moto" logos in-game.

• Dump Lorry Race - Hack of Motor Rally featuring a dumptruck and a curved track.
• Gear Race - Top-down racing game featuring trucks; features an infinite track. The player can knock enemy trucks into the sides of the road (whereas other variants have enemies crash the player upon contact).
• Racing Boat - Top-down racing game featuring a boat driving down a river. A modified sprite of Gary Oak from Pokémon appears at the starting line.
• Road Bumper - Variant of Gear Race using the graphics of Speedy Way X; features slightly altered enemy speeds. The end screen features a "Super Moto" logo.
• Speedy Way X - Top-down racing game featuring motorcycles. The level completion screen features a "Super Moto" logo, and uses the title screen artwork from Top Rider.
• Truck Race - Top-down racing game reusing the graphics of Gear Race, with mechanics closer to Speedy Way X.
• VR Racing - Hack of Motor Rally that adds a track selection screen and features the curved tracks of Dump Lorry Race. The motorcyclists' graphics are unaltered. The track select screen features a "Super Moto" logo.

Big Driving

Big Driving is a VT03 (?)-based plug & play targeted at young children, featuring a steering wheel and two levers. The console includes 10 unnamed games; these titles do not appear in other JungleTac consoles. While the exact contents of Big Driving are unknown, the console would later be reskinned into a Noddy-themed Lexibook Junior system, which is more well-documented than the unbranded version.

Original Games (VT03-09/UM6578)

Games developed by JungleTac’s in-house development team for the UM6578 and VTxx platforms. Unless stated otherwise, games listed here were first developed for VTxx hardware only.

• Animal Pool - Hit the incoming animals with your dodgeball.
• Awake Baby - Navigate the babies out of the way so the highlighted baby can pass through.
• Bake Pancakes - The player must flip pancakes without burning them. The chef is a modified version of Cooking Mama with an altered face.

  • A version of this game would be included on a specific revision of the horizontal 30 in 1 Classic Max Pocket that uses an unknown architecture, which is named Ball Clash and appears to be identical to the VT3xx Action Ball hack.
• Ball Mania* - The player controls a sphere, with smaller, colored spheres coming from all directions. Two of the same color small sphere must be lined up in order to be destroyed. The title screen uses graphics from Life Force/Salamander.

• Catch the Egg* - Clone of a minigame from Panic Restaurant.
• Challenge 100* - Clone of NS-Shaft. What appears to be an earlier version features a crocodile character; more common variants instead feature a frog resembling Kero Kero Keroppi.
  • This game was later ported to VT3xx hardware as Down to 100; this version appears to be entirely reprogrammed in comparison, and is likely modeled after a vertical-resolution VT168 game (though this is unconfirmed).
• Conquer South Pole* - A clone of Kickle Cubicle.
• Danger Zone (AKA Zone Danger)* - A seemingly original puzzle game where blocks must be picked up and thrown into gaps to clear lines. Later hacked to create Dangerous Zone (VT3xx). A version of this game is included in a specific revision of the horizontal 30 in 1 Classic Max Pocket handheld that uses an unknown architecture, which is named Dangerous Zone and is near identical to the VT3xx version, but this version lacks music.
• Dart Champion* - Clone of an event from Track & Field.
• Delta Fighter - A top-down shooter.
• Dragon Fire* - A clone of the Gamtec game Fire Dragon, which itself is a basic snake game. Despite the name being the same, the Chinese dragon is replaced with a regular snake graphic; the same snake sprite was used in a game from the "unknown developer", Hungry Worm.
• Elfland* - Clone of the 1992 game of the same name. Despite using the same graphics as the original, it is not based on the same engine, and was ported from scratch. It is unknown if JungleTac's version was a licensed port or not.
• Excel Racing* - Clone of Rally-X, but without the ability to blow smoke. Developed for UM6578 and VTxx hardware.
• Fancy Match - Clone of Minna no Taabou no Nakayoshi Daisakusen. Some of the fruit graphics are taken from Pac-Man.

• Flying* - Navigate the blue square to land on the red square by bouncing off of other bricks.
• Football Kid - Kick the ball into the net while intentionally hitting people walking in front of it. The graphics appear to be strange mish-moshes of characters from other games, like Mario from Super Mario World and the Kiteretsu Daihyakka characters. The VT09 version also features somewhat racist blackface stereotypes.
• Fossick Underground
• Freak Number* - Group the tiles together to add up the numbers.
• Frogger* - Licensed port from Konami. An alternate 2017 revision from Basic Fun changes the music tracks.
• Garden Maze - Move the tiles around in order to guide the people to the exit. Later hacked to create Puzzle Quest (VT3xx).
  • This game features an unused title logo in the code reading "Buy Drug*". Presumably, the name was changed to Garden Maze due to the questionable connotation (i.e. illegal drugs), and the title's complete irrelevancy to the game itself. It is unknown if the "Buy Drug" version was ever released.
• Gobang*
• Golden Arrow* - Clone of an event from Track & Field. A version of this game is included in a specific revision of the horizontal 30 in 1 Classic Max Pocket handheld that uses an unknown architecture, which has identical graphics and gameplay to the original VTxx version, but lacks music and seemingly uses sampled audio for sound effects.

• Happy Diamond* - Clone of Puzznic with a Christmas theme. Later hacked to create Blox World (VT3xx).
• Hard Win* - Sort the colored balls into the correct tubes.
• Igloo Land* - A clone of Soukoban gameplay-wise, but with unique visuals. There are several minigames in between levels as well.
• Jumping Ball* - Shoot the ball into the three tiles, and make their pictures match with each other.

• Magic Diamond - A Tetris clone, with the addition of "bombs" that can wipe out bricks.
• Matching Tiles - Mahjong matching game with simpler characters.
• Monkey 'N Fox - Clone of Pooyan. Later hacked to create Homeland Defence (VT3xx), Rabbit's Defence (VT09), and Skytrooper War (VT3xx).
• Mr. Ball
• The Night - The player controls a devil, shooting at orbs an angel is dropping down. Later hacked to create Ant & Bee (VT3xx).
• Number Quest* - A Sudoku game.
• Ogreish Flower* - Clone of Zeek the Geek. Later hacked to create Canyon Raider (VT09) and Sprouts Adventure (VT3xx). Sprouts Adventure features the Pokemon Trainer from Pokemon FireRed.
  • This game would also be ported to an unknown architecture for a specific revision of the horizontal 30 in 1 Classic Max Pocket; the port uses different graphics (or at least a different palette) and MIDI-style music.
• One Day of Mr. Potato* - A platforming game where the player must collect keys to free the imprisoned "potato". The player cannot jump, only climb ladders. The main characters strongly resemble Kirby, but they are actually modified versions of Tiki from The NewZealand Story. Later hacked to create Defender (VT09) and Mr. Onion (VT3xx). A version of this game is included in a specific revision of the horizontal 30 in 1 Classic Max Pocket handheld that uses an unknown architecture, which is near identical to the VT3xx version with the exception that it plays MIDI-style music instead of chiptune music.
  • The game is almost always incorrectly called "Mr. Onion" or "Hero Spud" on multicarts. The former name was later used for the Sunplus, GBA, and VT3xx ports of the game.
• Paint Quest - Clone of Brush Roller, which in itself is a clone of Crush Roller. Later hacked to create Paint Master (VT3xx).
• Pair Up - A card-matching game, where more cards are spawned from the bottom; the game is over if the cards reach the top of the screen.
• Path Finder - Collect the key in order to open the exit, while collecting treasure along the way. Later hacked to create Escape (VT09).
• Pet Shop* - The player controls a tabby cat fighting against a bulldog. Projectiles must be skillfully aimed at the dog in order to defeat it. Later hacked to create War of Mummy (VT3xx), which is Plants vs. Zombies-themed.
• Pool Pro* - Clone of Side Pocket; the graphics are based on the SNES/Genesis version of the game, rather than the preexisting NES port. Developed for UM6578 and VTxx hardware.
• Push the Ball - A very close clone of Shufflepuck Cafe.
• Quick Move - Press the button to move the floorboards down so the marble can pass. Later hacked to create Ball Slider (VT3xx).
• Rainbow - Catch the rainbows into the pot.
• Right Spot* - Move the colored bricks into their respective area.
• Risker - Platforming game similar to Mappy. It has very poor collision detection. One of the enemies resembles Porygon from Pokemon.

A version of this game is included in a specific revision of the horizontal 30 in 1 Classic Max Pocket handheld that uses an unknown architecture, which is near identical to the VT3xx version, but lacks music, has a title screen, and some sound effects in this version are different from the VT3xx version.
• Scramble* - Licensed port from Konami. Later hacked to create Night Wings (VT168, VT3xx, and on an unknown architecture for a variant of the horizontal 30 in 1 Classic Max Pocket). The VT168 and "unknown architecture" versions feature different graphics compared to the original 8-bit game, MIDI-style music, and sampled audio for sound effects; the former version is included on the horizontal 12 in 1 Classic Max Pocket handhelds. The version on the horizontal 12 in 1 Classic Max Pocket has a "Jungle^SOFT 2007" copyright notice.
• Sea War - Clone of Depthcharge. Later hacked to create Skies of War (VT09) and Sea War (VT3xx); the latter is a straight port of the original VTxx game with updated graphics and sampled audio for sound effects, although it lacks music. A version of this game is included on a specific revision of the horizontal 30 in 1 Classic Max Pocket that uses an unknown architecture, which appears to be identical to the VT3xx version.
• Sky Fighter - Shooting game based on the same engine as Delta Fighter.
• Sky Mission* - Clone of Astro Robo Sasa.

• Track & Field* - An unauthorized clone of the "100 Meter Dash" event from Konami's Track & Field game. Some versions are labeled "TRACK STRA" [sic] in-game. Later hacked to create 100m Dash (VT09), which changes the racers to cats and dogs.
  • Two characters on the title screen are named "DICK" and "KUM", which is possibly an intended suggestive innuendo.
• Transportation* - Modified version of Hard Win that is more difficult.
• Under the Sea - Maneuver through the obstacles in the narrow, auto-scrolling sea.
• Valiant Rescue* - Shooting game based on the same engine as Bolt Fighter. Developed for UM6578 and VTxx hardware.

• Zero Tiger* - Another shooting game based on the Bolt Fighter engine. The title logo is written in the Legend of Zelda font. Developed for UM6578 and VTxx hardware.

Original Games (VT168)

Some time in 2007, JungleTac would include various games developed for VT168 hardware on handhelds released in the Classic Max Pocket (or Classic Max) series, which had both vertically oriented and horizontally oriented models released for it. The handhelds in this line confirmed to use VT168 hardware are the vertical models (12 in 1 and 30 in 1) and the horizontal 12 in 1 model. Some of the games on the vertical handhelds were developed by Nice Code Software specifically for JungleTac, with some of these titles being listed on Nice Code's website for a time as part of their VT168 library.

Unlike JungleTac's 8-bit and other VT-based games, the VT168 games do not use NES-style music, instead using sequenced music, similar to contemporary 16-bit consoles such as the Super Nintendo. The vertical systems and a majority of their games are very uncommon and have little documentation available online. A majority of the games developed for VT168 hardware (namely, the games not attributed to Nice Code) would later be ported to VT3xx hardware using horizontal screens, with these ports notably using generic 8-bit JungleTac music in place of the sequenced music from the original versions.

The below lists feature the following notation: "[12V]" indicates a game included on vertical 12-in-1 models, "[30V]" indicates a game included on vertical 30-in-1 models, and "[12H]" indicates a game included on horizontal 12-in-1 models. Note that some of the horizontal games also have additional versions on specific revisions of the Classic Max Pocket handhelds, including a revision of the 12 in 1 with alternate versions of some games and a revision of the 30 in 1 that uses unknown hardware (hereby referred to as the "unknown architecture" revision). For further information on these titles (including Nice Code-affiliated games in the set), see the vertical and horizontal games sections on the Classic Max Pocket article and Nice Code's VT168 game list.

Nice Code-developed

• Abey's Dream*^[30V] - Has a 2007 copyright notice attributed to Jungle Soft on the title screen.
• Dingle Hunt*^[12V][30V] - Has a 2007 copyright notice attributed to Jungle Soft on the title screen.
• Gem World*^[12V][30V]
• Jig Chick*^[30V] - This game's connection to Nice Code's VT03 game of the same name is unclear.
• Ocean Fantasy*^[12V] - Only known to have been included on the OEM MX-10 release of the 12 in 1.
• Ocean Quest*^[12V] - Features a distinct font for the "STAGE" text that is identical to one used in some of Nice Code's 16-bit games (i.e., Crazy Kart and Flying Dream). Only known to have been included on the OEM MX-10 release of the 12 in 1.
• Space Craft*^[12V][30V] - Has a 2007 copyright notice attributed to Jungle Soft on the title screen.

Games for VT168 hardware that are confirmed or otherwise likely to have been developed in-house by JungleTac.

• Bubble Blaster*^[12H] - Two versions of this game are known to have been released across different hardware revisions of the horizontal 12 in 1 Classic Max Pocket. A version of this game is also included on the "unknown architecture" revision of the 30 in 1 Classic Max Pocket units as Ball Blaster, which removes the title screen and uses different graphics compared to the 12 in 1 versions. The 30 in 1 version of this game appears to be the basis for the VT3xx version, also named Ball Blaster (this version is present on another revision of the 30 in 1 Classic Max Pocket).
• Code Eagle*^[12V][30V] - Later ported to VT3xx hardware in a horizontal resolution.
• Double Punch*^[12V][30V]
• Gear Race*^[12H] - A top down racing game. The game is also known to appear on the "unknown architecture" revision of the horizontal 30 in 1 Classic Max Pocket. Later ported to VT3xx hardware.
• Hero Legend*^[12H] - Based on the 16-bit Sunplus game of the same name. Later ported to VT3xx hardware.
  • A version of this game is included on the "unknown architecture" revision of the horizontal 30 in 1 Classic Max Pocket, which removes the Jungle Soft copyright on the title screen.
• Mini Golf*^[12H] - Later ported to VT3xx hardware.
• Move Fun*^[12H] - A simplified version of the DJ-Jungle game with entirely different theming. This game would be the basis for two VT3xx ports, named Move Fun and Fruit Fall.
• North Salvation*^[12H] - Later ported to VT3xx hardware.
• Pop Ball*^[12V][30V] - A pinball game with a grassy aesthetic. There is an additional reskin titled Go Soccer^[12V][30V] with different music. Both titles were later converted to VT3xx (with the former being renamed Farm Pinball) in horizontal resolution.
• Push the Box*^[12H] - Two versions of this game are known to have been released across different hardware revisions of the horizontal 12 in 1 Classic Max Pocket. Later ported to VT3xx hardware.
• Win or Lose*^[12H]

Others

The following games are also present on JungleTac's vertical Classic Max handhelds, but do not have a known developer attached to them. Some of these games may have still been developed by Nice Code as they share traits with the confirmed VT168 Nice Code-developed games.

Original Games (VT3xx)

Only VT3xx-exclusive titles are listed here - not any hacks of games originally in the VTxx library or ports of games that were initially developed for VT168 hardware. Most of these games (and other JungleTac VT3xx games not listed in this section) use the NES APU functionality of the VT3xx systems for music, while a few others use sampled audio.

• Auto X - A simple racing game.
• Baby Arms - Clone of the Game & Watch game Donkey Kong 3.
• Bird Hunter - Clone of Bird & Beans (AKA Pyoro) from WarioWare, Inc.
• Bomb Hero - A clone of the NES/Famicom version of Bomberman. The enemies are replaced with orange Kirbys and green Jigglypuffs.
• Bubble Hero - Collect the stars while avoiding the cannonballs.
• Climbing Challenge - Clone of Donkey Kong Jr. starring what appears to be Funky Kong. Levels 3 and 4 from the original are swapped around.
• Close Shell - Clone of Lights Out!.
• Dart - A basic darts game.
• Dodgeman - Clone of the minigame Cavity Calamity from Warioware, Inc., turned into a full game. When the player dies, a voice sample of Fred Flintstone saying "Yabba Dabba Doo!" is played.
• Dream Bubble - A Tetris clone similar to Magic Diamond, though it is seemingly coded differently. The game features a "special mode" which merely turns the screen upside down.
• Explore* - A game comprised of small platforming-puzzle challenges. Seemingly higher-budget than the other titles.
• Final Escape - Clone of Pengo.
• Final Ninja - You control a ninja who must hit samurai using a crosshair.
• Find the Way - Guide the chicken down the right path to collect the egg.
• Fire Fighter - Different than the VT09 version; it is still a clone of Flying Hero, but with different levels.
• Firefight Bro. - Clone of the Game & Watch game Fire. The player controls Mario and Luigi with their mustaches removed, catching helmet-wearing Marios from Wrecking Crew '98. Hacks include Air Circus (VT3xx) and Spring Bros (VT3xx). Air Circus uses a custom graphic of Circus Charlie based on the arcade machine's artwork.
• Fishing - A rather advanced fishing game.
• Flame Beetles - Make all of the beetles touch each other. The "sunflower counter" graphic (seen when losing a level) is taken from Hamtaro: Rainbow Rescue.

• Fruit Killer - A game based on Fruit Ninja, featuring a visible, movable ninja who moves left and right.
• Fruit Rotation - Clone of Fruit Fall.

  • A low-resolution variant of Fun Claw titled Elf Dollhouse (精灵玩具屋) was released on the "Gamewalk" 20-in-1 handheld by M&D; it is based on the Roco Kingdom franchise.
• Garden Weeder - Carefully maneuver the mower to cut all of the grass without hitting the Bibarels (a character from Pokemon). Otis from the movie Barnyard appears in the bottom-left corner.
• Golf - A rather advanced golf game.
• Hamster Fighter - A Whac-A-Mole game, different than Whack the Critter. Inexplicably, it features birds and not hamsters; the bird sprites loosely resemble the red Angry Bird.
• Happy Farm - A clone of the Flash game Happy Pill. Hit the rabbits with the carrot until they are all blushing; you cannot hit them too many times or else you will lose.
• Happy Mice - Clone of the Game & Watch game Mario's Cement Factory. Some of the graphics are taken from the Game & Watch Gallery 4 port of the game.
• Hot Racing - A top-down racing game with shooting mechanics, similar to Spy Hunter.

• Juggle - Clone of the Game & Watch game Ball.
• Kitchen War - Throw the objects at the chef.

• Little Plane - Clone of Paper Plane from WarioWare, Inc.
• Hide and Seek - A "ball-in-a-cup" game with sheep in haystacks. Possibly a modified Lonely Island minigame.
• Magic Bubble - A Bust-a-Move clone, different than the aforementioned Snood.

• Mr. Mosquito - Shoot the mosquito who is not wearing a gas mask.
• Mr. Runner - A game similar to Explore, starring the same character, but continues endlessly rather than in small sections.
  • A low-resolution variant of Mr. Runner titled Roco Running Group (洛克跑跑团) was released on the "Gamewalk" 20-in-1 handheld by M&D; it is based on the Roco Kingdom franchise. This version includes a stage select screen with alternate level layouts.
• Mystic Totem - Get the rings around the totem to the other side. Later hacked to create Move It (VT3xx).
• Pile the Box - Stack the treasure chests on top of each other without knocking over the forming tower.
• Ping Pong - A standard ping pong game. Miis appear in the background.
• Pool Quiz - Turn all of the tiles pink within the limited moves.
• Pop Ball - Clone of Pang! starring Ness from Earthbound. Later hacked to create Bubble Master (VT3xx) and Magic Ball (VT3xx). Not to be confused with the vertical VT168 game (which was ported to VT3xx hardware as Farm Pinball).
• Puzzle Pop - Move the tiles to pop the bubbles.
• Secret Bottle - Same concept as Fish Quiz.
• Sprint - Jump between the sides of the buildings in order to avoid obstacles. The protagonist appears to be Zool on Luigi's body.

• Win or Lose - You control a paddle and must bounce the balls until the timer runs out.
• Winlinez - Clone of Lines, or some variation thereof.
• Yakyuuken - Another Rock, Paper, Scissors game. It is different to Morra, as it is in first person.

Hacks

Only one hack is confirmed to have been released under JungleTac’s name:

• Jungle Attack* (UM6578) - A hack of Battle City for UM6578 hardware. While the hack's title screen contains a "JungleTac 2003" copyright notice, the overall sound design more closely matches that of what is in DJ-Jungle’s original games, making it unclear who the developer of the hack is. It is only confirmed to have been included on the "Super Handy Max" plug and play, but JungleTac would also report to have included the game on their Super Handy Boy and Super Star Racing plug and play systems.

Unknown

No information on these games is known, so it is unclear if they are hacks or originals.

• Fantastic Show (UM6578) - only known to have been released on the "Super Handy Max" system.
• Magic Rooter (UM6578 [?]) - only known to appear on the "Qee Boy" system.
• Mr. Egg (UM6578) - only known to have been released on the "Super Handy Max" system.
• Shanghai Fantasy (UM6578 [?]) - only known to appear on the "Qee Boy" system. Likely connected to the earlier "TV Shanghai Fantasy" console by Lite Star.

Contract work

JungleTac is known to have developed unique games for dedicated plug & play systems sold by other companies. While not directly credited in these games, they typically share certain qualities with JungleTac's known games such as sound and graphics. The games in question were likely directly commissioned by these companies as they are not known to have been sold elsewhere prior to their release.

Confirmed/Likely

• Win, Lose or Draw - Single-game plug & play from Senario based on the 1980s TV game show of the same name. Released in 2005. Uses an actual pen and drawing pad to draw, similar to the Oeka Kids Famicom games. The plug & play unit uses VTxx hardware. The game uses a sound driver that sounds virtually identical to the Konami driver used in JungleTac's known 8-bit games.

Unconfirmed

• Texas Hold'em TV Poker - Single-game plug & play from Senario released in 2004. Texas Hold'em game that supports up to 6 players. Each player uses a specialized controller, which has a LCD screen that shows the player's current hand. The plug & play unit uses Sunplus SPG200 hardware. A version of this game that shares some identical graphics and sound effects would appear on generic multigame consoles produced by JungleTac.
• Deluxe TV Poker - Updated version of the Texas Hold'em TV Poker plug & play system that includes two other gambling games: Blackjack and Video Poker. Released by Senario in 2004. Uses Sunplus SPG hardware.
• Big Bonus Slots - Single-game plug & play from Senario released in 2005. Uses Sunplus SPG hardware. The Aces & Eights bonus games reuse the card graphics from the 2004 Texas Hold'em/Deluxe TV Poker plug & play games. The game shares at least one generic sound effect with JungleTac's known 16-bit games. The generic 16-bit game Slot Machine uses a jackpot sound effect identical to the one from this game.

Sunplus/GBA Games

Note that the 32-bit Sunplus versions of these games have all been found exclusively on the Zone 3D game console, a system based on Sunplus SPG293 hardware.

Disney Game It! games

(Note: any "hacked" variants listed are games which are very clearly based on the Disney versions [e.g. retaining graphics, HUD locations, etc.]. Other similar games, which are not 100% verifiable to be Game It!-based, are listed in the "Other Games" section below.)

Game Title	Platform(s)	Notes
Donald's Hectic Hay Bales	"Classic Pals" (Sunplus)	Based on JungleTac's previously-released Danger Zone. Later hacked to create Hay Bales; the hacked version bizarrely replaces Donald and Goofy's faces with Duster from Mother 3, while leaving their bodies (and even Donald's hat) intact. Hay Bales would later be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems as Hay Bales 2, with its only major difference from the other versions being its lack of music.
Donald's Tugboat Adventures	"Classic Pals" (Sunplus)	A boat racing game. Later hacked to create Jet Skiing.
Goofy's Loco-Coconuts	"Classic Pals" (Sunplus)	The player controls Goofy, and must throw coconuts into a barrel guarded by Huey, Duey and Louie. Later hacked to create Crazy Coconuts, which would then be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems as Crazy Coconuts 2.
Mickey's Apple Cart	"Classic Pals" (Sunplus)	A Soukoban clone; similar to the previously-released Push the Box.
Mickey's Surf Adventure	"Classic Pals" (Sunplus)	The player must guide Mickey Mouse to collect items while avoiding other surfers and obstacles. Later hacked to create Surf Adventure; the hacked version replaces Mickey with Konami's Goemon. Surf Adventure would later be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems.
Minnie's Eggs-Aspirating Hen House	"Classic Pals" (Sunplus)	Guide Minnie Mouse to collect the eggs. Later hacked to create Egg Collector, which would then be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems as Egg Collector 2.
Minnie's Fruit Fiasco	"Classic Pals" (Sunplus)	A Puzzloop or Zuma clone, seemingly unrelated to any prior NES-based ports.
Minnie's Pearls	"Classic Pals" (Sunplus)	The player controls Minnie underwater and must swim to collect pearls from oysters. Later hacked to create Pearls; oddly, the hacked version features Ariel from The Little Mermaid, despite that no official Ariel version appeared on the Game It! systems. Pearls would later be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems.
Pluto's Sheep-Dog Day	"Classic Pals" (Sunplus)	The player must guide sheep through the correctly-colored paths, somewhat like the previously-released Hard Win. Later hacked to create Sheep-Dog Day, which is nearly identical to the original; Pluto is replaced with a generic dog in this version. Sheep-Dog Day would then later be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems as Sheep Corral.
Fairy Godmother's Pumpkin Surprise	"Princess Pals" (Sunplus)	Effectively a basic lawn mowing game, but the player controls a magic wand that can move freely in any direction. Later hacked to create Pumpkin Surprise, which is nearly identical to the original. Pumpkin Surprise would later be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems.
Flotsam And Jetsam Potion Commotion	"Princess Pals" (Sunplus)	A game similar to Breakout, but with much fewer "bricks". Later hacked to create Potion Commotion, which is nearly identical to the original. Potion Commotion would then later be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems as Potion Commotion 2.
Flounder's Starry Night	"Princess Pals" (Sunplus)	The player must collect items under the sea while avoiding obstacles. Later hacked to create Starry Night, which is nearly identical to the original; some Starry Night versions recolor Flounder blue, while others leave him yellow. Starry Night would later be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems as Underwater Adventure. Flounder would be recolored blue in that version.
Gus And Jaq's Cooking Chaos	"Princess Pals" (Sunplus)	The player controls Gus and Jaq, who are holding a giant cake, to collect falling toppings for the cake. Later hacked to create Cooking Chaos, which would then be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems as Cooking Chaos 2.
Gus's Feed Sort	"Princess Pals" (Sunplus)	Another Soukoban clone. Later hacked to create Feed Sort, which is nearly identical to the original. Feed Sort would then later be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems as Food Sorter.
Lucifer's Ballroom Bonanza	"Princess Pals" (Sunplus)	A basic puzzle game, similar to the previously-released Move Fun. Later hacked to create Ballroom Bonanza, which is nearly identical to the original. Ballroom Bonanza would then later be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems as Ballroom Trio.
Lucifer's Bountiful Beads	"Princess Pals" (Sunplus)	Another Zuma clone.
Scuttle's Thingamubobs	"Princess Pals" (Sunplus)	The player must fly around and collect items from the ocean below while avoiding obstacles. Later hacked to create Dinglehoppers, which is nearly identical to the original. Dinglehoppers would then later be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems as Seagull Adventure.
Susie's Buttons And Baubles	"Princess Pals" (Sunplus)	Based on Jungletac's previously-released Hard Win (being a direct port, unlike the looser Pluto's Sheep-Dog Day adaption). This game would later be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems and modified to create Button Sorter, which features a generic cartoon duck in place of a Disney licensed character.
Triton's Travels	"Princess Pals" (Sunplus)	Based on Jungletac's previously-released Garden Maze, but now underwater themed and has you guiding King Triton from The Little Mermaid to a treasure chest. Later hacked to create Travels, which is nearly identical to the original; King Triton is replaced with a generic male mermaid in this version. Travels would then later be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems as Treasure Maze.
Donald's Gem-boree Sebastian's Sea Urchin Symphony	"Classic Pals", "Princess Pals" (Sunplus)	A clone of Magical Drop. Seen on both Game It! systems with different graphics. The Sebastian's Sea Urchin Symphony version would later be hacked into Sea Urchin Symphony, which replaces the Disney licensed character with a seal. Sea Urchin Symphony would then later be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems as Sea Urchin Quest.
Goofy's Milk Mania Sebastian's Treasure Hunt	"Classic Pals", "Princess Pals" (Sunplus)	Based on Jungletac's previously-released Lucky Lawn Mower; seen on both Game It! systems with different graphics. The former version was later hacked to create Milk Mania; the latter version was later hacked to create Lucky Hunt. Both Milk Mania and Lucky Hunt would be ported to 32-bit Sunplus systems.

Sport Vii

The following is a list of games developed by JungleTac exclusively for the Sport Vii, a Sunplus SPG243-based game console that was initially released in 2007. All of the games make use of proprietary wireless controllers that feature accelerometers, which allow the Sport Vii to accurately detect strength in addition to the position of the controller(s). Some of these games would later be repurposed for a set of 16-bit Sunplus SPG games featuring human mascot characters designed for cheaper hardware that functions similarly to the Sport Vii.

For more information on these games, see the ”Games” section on the Sport Vii page.

• Alacrity Golf
• Bird Knight
• Bowling
• Catch Fish
• Come On!
• Fantasy Baseball
• Fever Move
• Fry Egg
• Happy Tennis
• Lucky Dice
• Ping Pong
• Smart Dart

Mascot games

JungleTac is known to have produced a series of 16-bit Sunplus SPG games prominently featuring a set of human mascot characters, who strongly resemble mascot characters featured in Senca’s Family Sport multi-game software. Many of these games are pre-existing Sunplus SPG games from JungleTac or Waixing that have completely overhauled graphics, notably reskinning the playable characters to be the aforementioned mascot characters, among other differences. The earliest known appearances of these games are on the Wireless 60 and Zone 60, which are Wii clones with IR-based controllers that were released in 2010.

Based on Sport Vii games

The following games are modified versions of games originally created for the Sport Vii system. Compared to the original games, the original player character graphics, which depicted the Sport Vii mascots, are replaced with the mascot characters created for this series of games. Additionally, because the systems that JungleTac’s mascot games were designed for used cheaper technology, the original motion controls in the Sport Vii games, which utilized proprietary controllers that used accelerometers, are replaced with an on-screen power meter that constantly moves up and down until the player swings the controller or presses the A button.

Game Title(s)	Original Game	Notes
Baseball	Fantasy Baseball
Bowling	Bowling
Darts	Smart Dart	In-game music is removed.
Fishing	Catch Fish
Golf	Alacrity Golf
Sea World	Come On!

Others

Other games created for JungleTac's "mascot game" set. Some of these games would later be ported to the Sunplus SPG293, a 32-bit system-on-a-chip, with pre-rendered and anaglyph 3D graphics - these ports would be included on the Zone 3D plug and play system.

• Basketball
• Boxing - Shares many sound effects and similar animations with Waixing's 16-bit plug and play game Virtual Boxing (which was likely originally made for VTG Interactive).
• Dance - Basic Dance Dance Revolution clone.
• Ping Pong - Modified version of Waixing's 16-bit plug and play game Virtual Pingpong. A port of this game to Sunplus SPG293 hardware with pre-rendered and anaglyph 3D graphics would later be created and included on the Zone 3D console; this port removes the character selection from the original 16-bit version.
• Pool
• Tennis - Modified version of the VTG Interactive plug and play game Virtual Tennis. A port of this game to Sunplus SPG293 hardware with pre-rendered and anaglyph 3D graphics would later be created and included on the Zone 3D console; this port removes the character selection from the original 16-bit version.

Products

Most JungleTac consoles are either handhelds or controller-based plug & play systems, usually with a large number of built-in games and no cartridge port (with the exceptions of the OneStation and Vii). Often similar looking consoles are released by various international distributors under different names (dreamGEAR, Vs. Maxx, etc.) with a different combination of games. Some of its products include:

Connections to other companies

Waixing

JungleTac’s in-house development studio in Fuzhou, China is strongly connected to Waixing. At least one former Waixing employee, Ren Yongming, would work for JungleTac to compose music for their games after working for Waixing on their early Famicom games. In addition to this, three of JungleTac’s 16-bit games on the Zone 60 and Wireless 60 are also directly based on games that were initially developed by Waixing, including a couple of sports titles originally developed for VTG Interactive Inc..

A handful of games credited to JungleTac on a KT-0001 “Handymax” multicart for the Famicom have ended up in Waixing's game library with different copyrights, art and additional music. While indicating a legal connection, it is unknown if they were stolen or bought out.

Nice Code

Some games credited to JungleTac were developed by Nice Code Software according to their website, such as Abey's Dream, Dingle Hunt and Jig Chick, which were developed for the vertically oriented Classic Max Pocket handhelds. At least one console, the Lexibook Cyber Arcade Center 120 in 1, contains 8-bit games made by both companies which do not usually appear together. It is unknown if Nice Code and JungleTac further collaborated on any other projects.

Trivia

• Most, if not all, of JungleTac's consoles and OneStation carts have a test screen which appears if you hold A and B while turning the power on. Its functions vary depending on the hardware but these screens usually contain at least a controller test and a checksum (some systems require you to press Up & B to calculate this).
• The Classic Max Pocket (and possibly some other JungleTac systems) has been seen with different brandings. The product is even available in some in-flight shops, and can be purchased during an airplane flight. One example is the horizontal 30-in-1 version licensed to Premier Portfolio in the UK, under the ZipStar brand name, which is available in British Airways' long-haul flights (it retailed there for £60). Another 12-in-1 version was seen in a different flight, which is also distributed by Premier Portfolio, but with "(c) 2007 Jungle^soft " on the back.
• Some OneStation carts use the title screen music from Nanjing's Super Robot Wars A in their menus. It is unknown if this implies a connection between JungleTac and Nanjing.
• JungleTac would release Marbo The Interactive Robot, a toy based on Furby, under the Lexibook brand.
