Play Jill of the Jungle Online
You play as Jill, stabbing monsters and turning into animals to explore this weird, interconnected world of floating islands—with way more charm than most '90s platformers. The game even trash-talks Duke Nukem between levels.
Jill of the Jungle came out in 1992 as part of the Epic MegaGames shareware trilogy, back when MS-DOS was the standard for PC gaming. It was one of those early platformers that felt ambitious for its time, with colorful graphics and a sense of exploration that stood out from simpler arcade-style games. You could tell it was made by people who loved the genre and wanted to push what a PC could do.
You control Jill, a warrior navigating screen by screen through hazardous environments, using a sword and later a bow to defeat enemies. The main goal involves collecting pieces of a medallion scattered across levels, but the real hook is the transformation mechanic: Jill can turn into a fish, a frog, or even a phoenix to access new areas or survive different terrains. The pacing is brisk, though some jumps demand precision, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly. Playing it feels like piecing together a compact, inventive world full of surprises.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
