History VideoGame / TheJungleBook

A PlatformGame based on {{Creator/Disney}}'s ''WesternAnimation/{{The Jungle Book|1967}}'', released by Virgin Games in 1993 for the Sega Master System. A year later the game was also released for the NES, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega Game Gear, Super NES, and PC. The NES version is notable for being the final third party NES game released in the US (PAL regions got a version of ''VideoGame/TheLionKing'', but the less said about it the better). In 2003 a remake for the Game Boy Advance followed. Although all versions are in large ways the same, there are some noticeable differences between them, like level designs.

On September 23, 2021, Nighthawk Interactive announced that the SNES and Genesis versions of the game would be included in a compilation called ''Disney Classic Games Collection: Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Jungle Book'', which also includes the [[VideoGame/AladdinCapcom SNES]] and [[VideoGame/AladdinVirginGames Genesis]] versions of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' and ''VideoGame/TheLionKing'' video games. It was also added as DLC to the initial ''Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King'' release from 2019 that featured only ''The Lion King'' and the Virgin Games-developed ''Aladdin''. This compilation was released on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, and UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows (via UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}) on November 23, 2021.
