Play Tarzan on GBC Online

Activision released Tarzan for the Game Boy Color in 1999, a time when licensed platformers were common on the handheld. It was based on Disney's animated film and offered a straightforward adventure through familiar jungle settings.

You control Tarzan, moving through levels by running, jumping, and swinging on vines. The main goal is to progress screen by screen, avoiding hazards and fighting animals like leopards and baboons. Two key mechanics are vine swinging, which requires timing to build momentum, and tree sliding, where you descend rapidly while dodging obstacles. The game moves at a brisk pace, and some sections demand precise jumps. It feels fluid and responsive when the controls click, capturing the physicality of moving through the jungle.
