Name change The release of Jungle King with its Tarzan-like hero prompted legal action from the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs. This resulted in the name being changed to Jungle Hunt with several cosmetic modifications: The main character is an explorer wearing a pith helmet and safari outfit. The swinging vines have slightly different visuals to pass them off as ropes. The Tarzan yell is replaced by the music from the end of the second scene. Ports Atari published home ports in 1983 under their own brand for the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, and Atari 8-bit family.

William Michael Brown reviewed the Atari 5200 port in the September 1983 issue of Electronic Fun with Computers & Games, rating it a 3 out of 4.
