Jungle Lord is a 1981 pinball machine designed by Barry Oursler and produced by Williams pinball. It features a Tarzan influenced theme, a two-level playfield and a magnetic ball saver ("Magna Save").
Design and layout
[edit]Jungle Lord is the second of the four two-level System 7 games that Williams produced in 1980/1, the others being Black Knight, Pharaoh and Solar Fire.[1]
The design of the upper playfield is similar to Black Knight, but incorporates a "self-contained mini bagatelle style 'chamber' playfield, found on the top left-hand corner",[2] with four lanes that spell L-O-R-D. The lower playfield includes a bank of three drop-targets and two bulls-eye targets. The upper and lower playfields each have two flippers.[3]
The early production of the game had a red cabinet, and around 100 units were made. The later ones had a blue cabinet[4] and the tiger artwork was slightly changed.
Gameplay
[edit]The game is controlled with two buttons on each side of the cabinet, one on each side for the flippers, and the other to control the magna-save.[3]
A primary feature is a timed multiball which starts after the player completes the L-O-R-D lanes.[3]
The game includes an innovative scoring feature called "Double Trouble", a drop target feature that engages when the player hits the five drop-targets on the upper playfield.[5]
Unlike on the predecessor Black Knight, the magna-save is activated by the player for up to 5 time units earned from hitting various targets, rather than for a fixed period of time.[3]
Reception
[edit]In a review for Play Meter, Roger Sharpe rated the game at 2.75/4, finding the graphics to be bold and colorful, and the game to be a difficult but satisfying experience.[3]
