Synopsis

Plot

As famed Professor Deadrock, it is your bounden duty to undertake any mission that comes your way. When The Times gave details of the fabulous treasure to be found in the native jungles of Yogistani, you rose to the challenge like a man and immediately chartered an expedition to go there.

However, being a bungling idiot you managed to lose the rest of your crew, and now find yourself alone in the vast jungle. Can you recover the treasure on your own?

Come on Deadrock - England is waiting.

Notes

From the fourth issue of 64 Tape Computing. The game was titled African Adventure on the tape inlay but Jungle Bunny in the game itself.

Although uncredited, it's presumed that the game was written by Peter Gerrard for several reasons; He was listed as the editor of the publication, it resembles some of his other adventures, and he used the character Professor Deadrock in his later Dragon User columns.

Also, as pointed out by Paul Ingerson, Jungle Bunny is just a version of Peter's earlier Castlemaze Adventure, with the setting changed.

The game appears to have been later (unofficially?) ported to PC.
