DESCRIPTION

Legendary pulp hero Tarzan made his way to movie theaters once again in Disney's 1999 animated film, and now he can come to your PC in Disney's Action Game: Tarzan. As the Lord of the Apes, your goal is to make your way through 13 levels of jungle adventures and 5 bonus areas in your quest to stop the evil Clayton from destroying the jungle forever.

You start the game as a young Tarzan who learns the ways of the jungle from his pal Terk. As you make your way through the game and enter adulthood, you'll confront Sabor, the leopard who killed Tarzan's parents, run into the beautiful Jane, learn secrets about your past, and save the gorillas from enslavement by the oily Clayton.

Along the way you'll have the assistance of the elephant Tantor, Jane's father Professor Porter and Tarzan's adoptive mother Kala. You have a knife and a spear to help you out of tight spots, and in a pinch you can always surf the trees or perform a gorilla ground-pound to avoid trouble. There are plenty of hidden items to discover, including tokens to accumulate toward an extra life, baby baboon sketches which unlock secret areas, and different kinds of fruit which act as power-ups.

In some of the levels you may have to play Jane, Terk or Tantor, all of whom have special moves of their own. Jane, for example, can use her parasol as a weapon, and Terk can do ground-pounds.

Scattered throughout the game are movie clips which you can view if you collect the letters in Tarzan's name, and plenty of music inspired by the feature film comes from your speakers as you play. ~ Brad Cook, All Game Guide
