Item Description

How do you fit a Disney epic about a boy raised by gorillas onto a Game Boy Color? Digital Eclipse's answer was to follow the film's arc across 23 side-scrolling levels, starting with young Tarzan learning the jungle and growing into the adult hero swinging through the canopy.

The adaptation leans into the parts of the movie that translate best to a platformer: running along branches, leaping between treetops and navigating the dense rainforest at speed. The story also hands control to Terk, Tarzan's wisecracking gorilla friend, and to Jane for stretches of the adventure, which keeps the pace varied over a fairly long game for a licensed handheld title.

It is also a quiet milestone for the studio behind it. Tarzan was Digital Eclipse's first original game built from scratch rather than a port, made in roughly three months by a small team of programmers, artists and level designers. Digital Eclipse would go on to become one of the most respected names in classic game preservation, and you can see that care here in colorful, well-animated sprites that earned the game an 8 out of 10 from IGN.

Disney's Tarzan was a big summer of 1999, and this cartridge captures that moment on the handheld that was in nearly every backpack. It is a solid, good-looking platformer and an interesting early chapter in Digital Eclipse's long history.
