Developed by Eurocom and released in 2000, Disney’s Tarzan is a 2.5D platformer for the Nintendo 64 that follows the story of the beloved animated film. You guide Tarzan from his early days as a young boy to his adult life, navigating lush jungle environments, surfing on tree branches, and battling wildlife like Sabor the leopard. The game blends fast-paced side-scrolling action with 3D graphics, creating a lively adventure filled with collectibles.
How to Play
Your objective is to reach the end of each level while collecting coins, pieces of Jane’s baboon sketch, and the letters T-A-R-Z-A-N to earn extra lives and unlock bonus stages. The default controls map the Nintendo 64 analog stick or D-pad to your arrow keys for movement. Use the A and B buttons (mapped to Z and X) to jump, throw fruit, or swing your knife, and press Start (Enter) to pause.
Tips
- Find the sketches: Collecting all four pieces of the baboon sketch in a single level unlocks a bonus stage where you can earn extra lives.
- Stockpile special fruit: While regular fruit is common, look out for red explosive fruit to break through specific walls and deal heavy damage to tougher enemies.
- Use the ground pound: Tarzan can smash downwards to break open cracked ground areas and hidden crates, which often contain valuable health and extra coins.
