This game takes me back!
However, I am in the midst of rebuilding my membership after changing my handle and was in the midst of adding all the games I own to my collection and came across this under appreciated classic.
Jill was hardly the first PC game I ever owned but it was the first one that made purchasing a sound card mandatory. Younger gamers may find this hard to believe but there was a time when 4MB or RAM was considered extravagant and if you had a sound card in your computer you were the man.
After seeing this game on a friend's machine I made it a point to upgrade my then zippy 386SX 16 and purchase a Sound Blaster 16 (which I still have, along with most of the gear I have ever bought!) specifically for this game.
I'll tell you, after years of listening to the burbling and crackling that normally came out of my PC speaker during games, listening to the somewhat primitive sound effects and music provided by Jill of the Jungle for my SB16 made it all worthwhile.
Quaint by today's standards, this is a classic 2d side scroller in the tradition of Pitfall that combines action, humor and (at the time) rather impressive graphics together into an addictive and amusing game that doesn't take long to complete but has huge replay value.
If you can find a copy I would imagine you can download it in about two seconds over broadband, and you may have to find yourself a suitable archaic machine in order to run it - but it will take you back to a simpler time when PC games were still something of a fringe hobby and you could be sure that the PC you built today would not be obsolete for several years, as rapid innovation was not yet the name of the game in the world of x86 architecture.
How times have changed...
