Play Dschungle Boy Online

Game Overview

Dschungle Boy (or Tom Boy, depending on which label you got) is one of those weird little Atari 2600 games that somehow ended up more obscure than it should be. You play as this tiny jungle explorer jumping over pits and dodging whatever pixelated hazards the game throws at you—typical '80s platforming stuff, but with that distinct PAL-region charm.

The colors are surprisingly bright for an Atari game, and the controls are simple enough that you’ll figure them out in seconds. That said, it’s still brutally hard, like most games from that era. There’s something oddly satisfying about the way your little guy moves, even if the collision detection feels a bit off sometimes.

If you’re into retro collecting or just love digging up forgotten games, this one’s a neat oddity. It won’t blow your mind, but it’s a fun little time capsule from when platformers were still figuring themselves out.
