Vollversion: Jill of the Jungle - Complete Trilogy Mit 'Jill of the Jungle' erschien 1992 eines der ersten Spiele, das es Spielern erlaubte an beliebigen Stellen im Spielgeschehen zu speichern. Jill of the Jungle gameplay screenshot DOSGames.com Review: Rating: 4 This is the first game released by Epic after the famous ZZT series. It's still pretty cool, too. You play as Jill of the Jungle, and jump around in various VGA-styled levels, collecting apples and battling strangely designed creatures in a memorable jungle-ish world.

I'm thinking of running the old game jill of the jungle, single segment with deaths as there are places with death abuse.I have some questions:1) Is DosBox okay or not because it's an emulator? If I can't use DosBox, i'll have to wait till I get home and run on an old windows machine.2) Either way, what is a good way to record? I tried using DosBox's recording feature but it doesn't seem to work properly. I have no idea how I'd record an old Dos game on an old windows machine as well.3) Also, the 1st game is shareware, while the full version isn't. Would I have to run the full version or can I just run the shareware episode?Thanks.

Would I have to run the full version or can I just run the shareware episode?Thanks. My basic plan of this run is levels 1,2,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13(end). Level 3 is really long and can be skipped, as it is only needed for bonus. If I did a 100% run I'd hit level 3 and the bonus level, but it isn't necessary. Also it counts as 3 and 4, I'm assuming bonus level counts as 5.Level 2 you can jump past the two pits in a row if you jump at the last moment.Level 6 (puzzle) you don't need to the the 4th key.

If you miss the trigger for the 2nd wall thing you can skip it and save considerable time.Level 7(I think it's seven, might be 5) in the Forest zone it's faster to kill yourself once you get the jumping power.Level 9(phoenix maze) it's faster to kill yourself when you get the last keyLevel 10(knight maze) jumping and hitting the right switch saves a bunch of time. If you die on this level you have to restart from the beginning.Level 12?(fish maze) The gems/keys/whatever you need to clear the path is super long, so killing yourself as Jill after you get the gems is faster for the fish bit.Think that's it.

I'll post it on Youtube when I get it shrunk down and edited and all that. Total run time is about 10:30 minutes + a bit, add about a minute so for the ending.There are some pretty major platforming errors. Those will be fixed in a real run. I think a 9:30 run is possible.

I abuse deaths pretty horribly.The sound desyncs pretty badly as well, though that's probably due to dosbox or fraps.I don't know when i'll be able to make an actual run of this as I'm pretty busy and have no access to an old DOS computer. Also the run would look a little different as some of the 'message' apples in the game are different than this shareware version.video 1 here. I got a decent practice dosbox run finished.

I think I'll try working on this while I procrastinate on getting a working capture card again. The game runs fine in XP with VDMSound, so there shouldn't be any problems recording it. (Sadly, the second and third games do not run properly, and I can't figure out any way to make them do so.)To make things more interesting, I plan to do a 100% run. From my initial tests, the hut (levels 3-5) is the hardest part of the game to speedrun, so where's the fun in leaving it out?Levels 1 and 2 I have down pretty well, though I still need to do more precise testing as to which path through the first part of level 1 is fastest.I'll probably be doing levels 3-5 after that even though I think it'd be slightly faster to do them after 6-7, just because they're SO HARD.

Three levels in a row with no health refills in between, plus annoying-to-avoid (and often invincible) enemies, plus randomly-timed flamethrowers? (The flamethrowers do always fire in the same pattern, but when the pattern starts seems to be random, oddly enough - I repeatedly loaded a save immediately before the level, and I'd usually make it past the first line of flamethrowers without getting hit and without having to wait, but sometimes I'd run smack into one or two flames.) Also I have rather vivid memories from my youth of one of the flamethrowers being buggy and tending to outright kill me and/or damage me when it's not firing. That'll be fun!I think 7 before 6 is slightly faster than the other way around, so that's what I'll do if I don't change my mind. 7 allows deathwarping, as Phoenix pointed out, and is pretty simple. 6 is also pretty simple, though I'm not entirely sure which one out of the 'tricky' key or the furthest-right key takes more time to get - I'll have to check that once I get recording set up.The bonus level is trivial to complete, and not very hard to reach.Arg's Dungeon shouldn't be hard. I have a path through the elevator part that I'm pretty sure is faster than what's shown in Phoenix's test run.

Phoenix Maze, also easy, though again I need to test which of the two furthest keys is actually slower so I know where to deathwarp. The first part of the Knight's Puzzle is easy; the second part is somewhat trickier and I haven't worked out a precise path through it yet.Eleven was the hardest level by far when I was a kid, but it's not so hard to speedrun. I have a path that's pretty fast (possibly about the fastest, though more testing would be required to be sure) and doesn't put me in danger of dying.Twelve is somewhat tricky. I'm not sure if suiciding after the first Jill-gem is faster or not; one more thing to test. Suiciding after the last is certainly desirable, as is suiciding after the last fish-gem. That last bit is a bit tricky, since there's no convenient instant-death stuff around; trying to get killed by the last enemies immediately after picking up the gem could go wrong in any number of highly amusing and run-ending ways, as long as that number is roughly 3.Thirteen is easy.In level 14, if you are playing on a CGA (4-color) monitor, most of the enemies are the same color as the background (except for their one-pixel eyes) and it's really hard to beat (if you have never played video games before). Fortunately, with the advance of technology, and no longer being a child, I can afford a better monitor these days.

It shouldn't be hard, though I do have to be careful with my health, as I plan to jump through several flaming birds at once.Fifteen and sixteen ought to be easy, as they are the ending sequence and the only way to screw them up is to press sideways during that small time between when the 'demo' playback ends and the ending trigger is hit. With practice I should be able to avoid doing this reliably. Alternately, I could go ahead and screw up the ending because hey! It's the ending, timing finished at the end of level 14!Seventeen, and all the other not-previously-mentioned levels, do not exist.

I will not be running them, as nonexistant levels are not required to be completed even in a 100%. I think I'll try working on this while I procrastinate on getting a working capture card again.

Also I have rather vivid memories from my youth of one of the flamethrowers being buggy and tending to outright kill me and/or damage me when it's not firing.

That'll be fun!Yes that 'random flamethrower' bug is still in there. Make sure you have about 4-5 dots of health around then other wise you will die, because there is a ball that comes down when you cross that area as well. I think 7 before 6 is slightly faster than the other way around, so that's what I'll do if I don't change my mind. 7 allows deathwarping, as Phoenix pointed out, and is pretty simple. 6 is also pretty simple, though I'm not entirely sure which one out of the 'tricky' key or the furthest-right key takes more time to get - I'll have to check that once I get recording set up.I don't think there is a difference. You still have to travel from one to other other so you're essentially traveling the same difference. Also I think that level 7 is actually closer to the gate, or at least you can reach it faster.

The bonus level is trivial to complete, and not very hard to reach.Arg's Dungeon shouldn't be hard.

The first part of the Knight's Puzzle is easy; the second part is somewhat trickier and I haven't worked out a precise path through it yet.you could try death warping in ARG's as well but I don't know how effective it would be.

Also I think my way is the fastest since you get on the arrow I was on and then you should be able to get the right elevator in two shots + 1 jump shot since you need to clear the blocks anyways.I think the key through the block maze (farthest right) takes the longest time, probably best to die after that one. It might be possible to 'death grab' the key, by which I mean die but your dying hitbox picks up the key, allowing you to have all the keys. I don't know if it works there though.Knight's Puzzle is super easy except the end, I agree. I messed that part up badly in my 'run'. Twelve is somewhat tricky. I'm not sure if suiciding after the first Jill-gem is faster or not; one more thing to test.

Suiciding after the last is certainly desirable, as is suiciding after the last fish-gem. That last bit is a bit tricky, since there's no convenient instant-death stuff around; trying to get killed by the last enemies immediately after picking up the gem could go wrong in any number of highly amusing and run-ending ways, as long as that number is roughly 3.I'm pretty sure my route the fastest gem wise. However, if you could time your death as a fish when you pick up the last gem it would be much faster. Thirteen is easy.In level 14, if you are playing on a CGA (4-color) monitor, most of the enemies are the same color as the background (except for their one-pixel eyes) and it's really hard to beat (if you have never played video games before).

Fortunately, with the advance of technology, and no longer being a child, I can afford a better monitor these days. It shouldn't be hard, though I do have to be careful with my health, as I plan to jump through several flaming birds at once.My route puts me down to 1 health before I die, could be cleaned up a bit. Fifteen and sixteen ought to be easy, as they are the ending sequence and the only way to screw them up is to press sideways during that small time between when the 'demo' playback ends and the ending trigger is hit. With practice I should be able to avoid doing this reliably. Alternately, I could go ahead and screw up the ending because hey! It's the ending, timing finished at the end of level 14!you could technically try and glitch the beginning of the demo and end it faster though I don't know if that works. Yes, being sick, worrying about life, and not having a Windows 95/98 computer are all reasons why the any% run is not completed.

Hopefully I can help.quote='StrangenessDSS'No activity? I think I'll try working on this while I procrastinate on getting a working capture card again.

It's the ending, timing finished at the end of level 14!/quoteyou could technically try and glitch the beginning of the demo and end it faster though I don't know if that works. Since DOSBox is now allowed for SDA submissions, I've started looking at this game. I'm playing the shareware version since it's very difficult to find a working copy of the non-shareware version. I've been working on the 'All Levels' run because:1. It's a little longer (this game is short enough)2.

It's easier to switch to the other category if that would be better for submission. The All Levels run is a superset of an any% run in that very little changes, things are just added to it.My sum of bests so far puts me at 10:55 for a full game run, and I think sub-11 is a good time to shoot for in a single segment with my current strats (my PB isn't quite there yet).

The later levels can probably still be a bit cleaner, because most of my runs die before Knight Maze. I'm not quite sure how low it can go yet.Aside from the tricks mentioned here, I've also found out that it's possible to cancel some of the landing animation after jumping. If you crouch just as you land, and let go immediately, you can begin running again without most of the pause that normally occurs.

It saves approximately 0.2 seconds per jump when you move after landing, which definitely adds up over the course of the run.

Hi!I might have to look around but I.might. still have my official 'all episodes' version of the game. I unfortunately don't have a floppy drive anymore but I'll take a look at some point and see what's around. You can find unofficial versions from sketchy DoS archive sites but I don't know how official they are.Another thing you can do is buffer the jumping input. If you repress control in the air you'll immediately jump again after you land. This also cancel's the jumping animation if that works better.I have found that most of the enemies and such spawn the exact same way every time. Until dawn emily death.

If you can match the time it takes for a level it will ALWAYS play out the same way. This could make route planning much more consistent.Also remember the bonus level if you're doing an all levels run! You can run right through it but you'd need to hit that up as well.Also if you're using my level 12 level as reference, I think it's faster to collect all the gems as Jill first, die, then do the fish gems. Take enough damage so you can die as soon as you collect the last fish gem. Hi!I might have to look around but I.might. still have my official 'all episodes' version of the game.

Not sure how to embed this in the post. Also, I'm not sure why, but the video takes like 45 seconds to load. It loads eventually, I promise.edit: added youtube link, hopefully this works betterMain mistakes in this run:Level 7 - Got stuck on the vine section. Vine physics are really difficult sometimes.The Hut - My health was good, so running through some boulders would have saved another 2 secondsBonus split - Vine physics ate another secondLevel 8 - Two extra jumps, not sure on the time lossLevel 9 - Bird flapping was a bit sloppy. Got stuck on a wall once and didn't clear a wall onceLevel 10 - The maze part was pretty good, but not optimal.

Could have saved a few jumps. This is probably my weakest segment overall.Level 11 - Missed the swag jump at the end of the level and caught the vine insteadLevel 12 - Didn't lower the elevator all the way going into the level. A few minor movement mistakes. Ah, I didn't know about holding jump to jump immediately. I guess that makes sense.

Also, I'm not sure why, but the video takes like 45 seconds to load. It loads eventually, I promise.added youtube link, hopefully this works bettermistakes in this run:Level 7 - Got stuck on the vine section.

Vine physics are really difficult sometimes.The Hut - My health was good, so running through some boulders would have saved another 2 secondsBonus split - Vine physics ate another secondLevel 8 - Two extra jumps, not sure on the time lossLevel 9 - Bird flapping was a bit sloppy. Got stuck on a wall once and didn't clear a wall onceLevel 10 - The maze part was pretty good, but not optimal. Could have saved a few jumps. This is probably my weakest segment overall.Level 11 - Missed the swag jump at the end of the level and caught the vine insteadLevel 12 - Didn't lower the elevator all the way going into the level.

A few minor movement mistakes. Thanks!Rope physics are quite annoying in this game. The problem is if you're at the very top and bottom the game doesn't like letting you go.I could be wrong but I still think it's faster to do level 6 first and then 7.In level 6: is getting the 2nd key there faster than doing the 'tricky' jump?

It seems to be about the same time.In level '5' it might be faster to jump on the square and jump again instead of getting on the chain. I'm not sure though.

That was an amazing run of that level otherwise.For vines/chains/ropes make sure you're scrunched off when you jump off otherwise you can't jump offI really like what you did in arg's dungeon.In the phoenix maze you can also use ctrl to 'jump' up. Alternating between the two can make it easier to ascendGood path in knights dungeon or whatever it's called. I always try to go for that one but blade programming makes it somewhat inconsistent.In the last level you could just jump across the chasm. It might not save much time but I think since it's such a short run it might be worth checking out.except for some mistakes I think the pathing through the levels is really good.

My logic for doing it this way is that when you are leaving 6, the last jump you do will get you on top of the elevator shaft. Both jumps (elevator shaft-7, 6 cave- elevator shaft) move you forward. To get from 6 to 7 needs two jumps while leaving the cave, and the first one is vertical + one block right.

So it seems slower, at least. In level 6: is getting the 2nd key there faster than doing the 'tricky' jump? It seems to be about the same time.I hadn't actually seen your route before I started my routing, so I went and timed both ways (top left-tower-tricky and top left-tower-far right). If you do the far right key segment optimally like I did in the 10:53 run it's about a second faster to grab the right key rather than the tricky key. If you fail anything though (falling directly to the key, grabbing multiple chains on the way out) it's going to be slower. In the phoenix maze you can also use ctrl to 'jump' up.

Alternating between the two can make it easier to ascendDidn't know this, so thanks for that.My main problem part for that is trying not to flap.too. much. The way it works out is that one flap gives you almost exactly one block of height, and your downward speed actually increases every time you aren't flapping. Meaning, ideally, you do one flap to get onto a block's near edge so that by the time you make it to the other side you've already got a pretty fast downward speed.Good path in knights dungeon or whatever it's called.

It ends up being about 0.8 seconds slower to jump onto the square and jump to get the key. Moving up after grabbing a chain is actually pretty fast, and you end up pretty close to the key when you jump from the last crab platform anyway.quote='Phoenix3568'In the phoenix maze you can also use ctrl to 'jump' up.

I initially didn't do this because jumping through the birds takes a ton of health, but now that I've gotten better at hitting the crabs along the way with the blade it looks like it's viable now. I'm not sure how much time this will save, but it's one less jump and potentially less lag.

I just timed out the lvl 6/7 order and came up with the following. I started doing this part of the timing from the first tile on the elevator shaft, since that's where all routes would probably diverge.Doing 7 before 6 gives this:shaft-lvl 7 = 3.4slvl 7 - lvl 6 = 6.9slvl 6 - top of shaft = 6.6stotal = 16.9sAnd 6 before 7 gives this:shaft-lvl 6 = 6.0slvl 6 - lvl 7 = 7.8slvl 7 - top of shaft = 3.9stotal = 17.7sThis actually helps confirm the any% too. Using my best segments modified by the travel distance between levels (+2.2 from the top of shaft/hut/shaft apple, +1 from top of shaft to apple) gives the following times:lvl 7 + the hut = 1:48.9lvl 7 + level 6 = 1:40.5.

Managed to get a 10:33 today, even with 7 seconds of stupid mistake. This is getting pretty close to what I want the all levels run to look like.

If you ignore level 13, 14, and to some extent 10:Most of the time comes from just not making execution errors, but I did change the route up a bit. Main things:Level 5 (last part of The Hut): the jumps are a bit more efficient to get around the first set of boulders. If you have at least two spare dots of health going through the key door, you can run through the boulder behind the door and jump into the one rolling into the pit just after that. That + the jumps saves about 2.2 seconds.Level 8: Figured out good/easy positioning for the blades, so that you only need four throws to break the bricks to the left/right of start. You want to hold jump while entering the level, move a half-tile to the right so that you bonk your head on the ceiling but still get the blade. Throwing from a half tile to the right of the start twice will open up a path to the exit, and throwing from a half tile to the left of start will open up the path to the rest of the level.

At a 10:26 right now.

I'm fairly happy with the run, but I missed 3 jumps in level 10 - so I'm going to see if I can get a better one before I submit.Also, I ran into something interesting yesterday. During my run, I somehow got into a state where I could pick up message box apples without getting the message boxes. It seemed to carry across new games, and went away once I restarted the game.

I went over the video I took but I didn't really see anything odd that I did, so I'll need to keep investigating. This would skip at least two text boxes, and would make it so you don't need to dodge the one after level 1.

Not sure how much time it saves total, but it might save a second or two if it's easy to trigger. At a 10:26 right now.

It could still be improved, which is why I haven't submitted it yet - but I'm starting to wonder if it's worth just submitting since I doubt I will go back to it any time soon. It's to the point where I'd need a flawless run to improve it by a few seconds.I've started routing Jill Goes Underground in the meantime.

For the most part, the game seems to be pretty straight forward. I need to figure out where to deathwarp in some of the later portions of the game.Heck, however, is going to be terrible:- The demons there seem to take 6 hits from a blade to kill- The demons can shoot a fireball every time unit, probably up to some onscreen limit. Massive lag and massive damage if you can't dodge them.- You don't have enough health to run through the area without killing about half of them and getting lucky with fireball RNG.Right now my plan is to see if I can get good at killing the first X demons, and dodge/run through the second half, but I'm still experimenting. I managed to get through the area yesterday with only one death, which is a lot better than I was doing initially. Been a while since I posted anything here.

Jill of the JungleJill of the Jungle is a platform sidescroller which was released during the same period as Commander Keen and Duke Nukem. Players play as an Amazon woman who can use various types of weapons and enhancements as she progresses through levels slaying monsters and finding keys. The first episode in the trilogy contains 15 playable levels, including a bonus level, each of which can be entered from an overworld resembling another level. The second episode uses 20 sequential levels without an overworld. The third episode's overworld is a top-down perspective, changing to the traditional platformer style when entering one of the 15 levels. The game does not contain any boss fights.
