Overview
Description

Jill Saves the Prince is the third entry in the Jill of the Jungle trilogy released by Epic Games in 1992 for PC DOS. The game follows Jill as she navigates jungle environments, defeats monsters, and collects keys to unlock new areas. Unlike many contemporaries, the title contains no boss battles, focusing instead on platforming puzzles and exploration. It was later bundled in the Complete Trilogy release, helping fund Epic's future projects.

Pitfall! is a classic 1982 platform adventure where you control Pitfall Harry through a treacherous jungle. Collect 32 treasures within 20 minutes while dodging pits, quicksand, rolling logs, fire, snakes, scorpions, and crocodiles. The game features underground tunnels accessed via ladders, adding a maze‑like challenge that forces strategic routing to beat the clock. Its simple yet demanding gameplay set a benchmark for early action‑adventure titles.
