Disney's Tarzan (also known as Tarzan Action
Game) is an action, platformer developed by Eurocom and published by Sony
Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation console in 1999. Konami published
the game for its Japanese release. It was also released on the PC, Nintendo 64,
and Game Boy Color. The player takes control of the eponymous Tarzan who
ultimately has to save his home, the jungle, from Clayton, a hunter for
gorillas. Tarzan starts up as a child learning the skills of the apes. The game
has 3 difficulties: easy, medium and hard. In the easy and medium difficulties,
little Tarzan gets tips from his friend Turk. Tarzan's enemies are monkeys,
baboons, eagles, and different animals, including some humans and Clayton.
Disney's Tarzan: Untamed (known as Disney's
Tarzan: FreeRide in Europe) is a 2001 action-adventure video game released by
Ubisoft Montreal for the PlayStation 2 and was a launch title for the GameCube.
Picking up quite a while after the defeat of Clayton, Jane and Professor Porter
now speak Gorilla-language fluently and Jane is married to Tarzan. However,
their lives are threatened once again by a brutal band of British explorers led
by the unscrupulous OswaldGardner, who becomes fascinated with Tarzan and
strives to capture the ape-man and take him back to England as a media
attraction.
Tarzan's home, "Deep Jungle", is a
playable world in the Disney/Square Enix video game Kingdom Hearts released for
PlayStation 2 in 2002. It does not appear in any subsequent games in the
series, due to Square Enix's failure to acquire the required rights from the
family of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
