Jill of the Jungle vs Duke Nukem 1

[Lengis]

Ok, I'm not sure if they came out at the same time, but I did play them at the same time period. And here is my opinion.

Jill of the Jungle- Not very good enemies, but great levels, and level progression was not linear, u got a option of what level u wanted to play on. Her ability to transform into different animals, kicked, and she had kewl powerups. Decent Gfx. Sounds were ok.

Duke1- Enemies weren't all that great, but were better than Jill's, level design was horrible, items were not bad (those hand clip things were kinda kewl), Gfx worse than Jill's, but had some nice backgrounds. Sounds were pretty bad.

The Winner? - Jill of the Jungle

No flames, but please respond.

I always had trouble with JotJ's player control...I also thought that DN1 was a far superior game.

Jill had a terrible interface. didn't play past the Keen referance, cause I decided this game was to boring when you have to wrestle the character more than you have to wrestle the enemies.

Keen1 is better than duke1, but not better than Jill. However if u are talking about Keen Dreams, or Keen GG, then it would beat both.

Keen1 was just Duke1 with some different graphics, and level progression, but that's it.

Ah! How many times haven't I thrown the knife into a niche in the wall and never got it back

The gameplay in both of these games it totally different, too. In Duke1 you have bosses to fight at the end of each episode, in Keen1, well, there's the Vorticons, but those are hardly bosses. In Duke1 you have unlimited ammo, and there's lots of enemies that need to be killed. In Keen1 you pick up ammo and need to conserve it properly... although there is quite a bit, I remember I once had a savefile with 1000+ charges...

Okay, enough comparing these two games, they've got a lot of differences. Jill of the Jungle was one of the most boring games I ever played... I guess I got nothing more to say about that... Compare JotJ to Duke2, though, that would be a more appropriate comparison... Duke2 beats JotJ any day.

Jill went the way of all the old Epic games (Epic decided that they weren't worth selling). Finding it means scouting old shareware collection sites.

I don't know if anyone has played Xargon (sequel to Jill), but I thought that was soo much worse than Jill Of The Jungle.

ya it needed so much ram about 620K lo mem to play sounds in was such a pain
I probobly have jill around someware if you kant find it

I didn't like DN1 either, for mostly the same reasons as you (level design, graphics).
However, I found that some levels in JotJ were far too complicated/strange. But I liked the sound effect with SoundBlaster turned off

[Crosma]

Graphics were wrose than Jill's because the game is older. Comparing these games on graphics is really pointless. Playability wise Duke1 kicked Jill's ass.

I was not comparing Jill to Keen, I was saying that I played the game (Jill) untill the Keen reference in it.

That Keen interface that u are reffering to, reminded me a lot of Mario 3, back in the day. I dont know which came out first, but if Mario3 came out first, then I would have to say that the Keen interface might have been sampled from Mario 3.

BTW, console games back then were much better than the comp games. Mario 3 kicks! It beats the pants off Keen1, Duke1, and Jill of the Jungle.

I don't know how the Keen 1 interface reminds you of Mario 3, but Mario 3 came out first. In fact, Keen started life as Mario 3...but that's a different story

Go Here if you really want to read it...

The Keen reference. The place in Jill where a message pops up badmouthing Commander Keen. He didn't continue to play further than the place in Jill where this message appears.

I was not comparing anything
