While this seems to have been to save space in some cases, other times it was ultimately pointless. These games are rather difficult to document, due to only releasing in certain parts of Europe - but they all appear to be hacks of already existing titles and nothing fully original.Īt some point, many of the title screens for their games were hacked out, or in some cases never existed to begin with.
One of JungleTac's distributors, Lexibook, frequently altered games from their VT3xx library to feature licenses such as Spider-Man and Frozen. Very few standard VT02 games were released by JungleTac, though there are a handful of exceptions to this. Many new VT3xx titles were developed, in addition to upgrading most (if not all) of the VT09 library. In the late 2000s, development shifted to VT3xx hardware (either VT368, VT369 or VT389). After the UM6578 chip was retired, hardware was moved to VT09 (and occasionally VT03) a few of the earlier games were converted for these formats, but their music (and in some cases, gameplay) was significantly downgraded.
They ran on the rather uncommon UM6578 NES-on-a-chip, and their library was a mixture of hacks and originals. The first set of JungleTac games were released around 2001.
