Yes! Jungle Hunt! That's another one I have. Actually the last level of Hunter kinda reminded me of the first level of Jungle Hunt. It would've been exactly the same except for the waterfall. Jungle Hunt didn't have a waterfall. But Adventure was still one of my favorites. I've always liked RPG type games like the Legend of Zelda series, and Adventure is widely believed to be the precursor to those types of games. For those unfamiliar with the game, you had three castles to explore, each with a resident dragon. You had to find one key for each castle and a special sword for killing the dragons. The idea was to get to one castle in particular, recover the stolen chalice and return it to the first castle. On higher difficulties there was a bat who would periodically fly by and steal whatever item you had (you could only carry one at a time), and replace it with another one. This usually happened right as you were about to enter a castle. You had the proper key and then all of a sudden the bat would be there, steal that key and replace it either with one of the other keys or the sword. The fact that there wasn't a whole lot you could do about the bat other than to try to wait for it to come by again and swap you for the right key, it added to the challenge. Then of course there were the three dragons who would roast you on sight, especially if you didn't have the sword. Oddly enough, after the dragon got you you could move around in its belly. But the coolest part was that if you killed a dragon and had to leave your sword in order to get a key, you could leave the sword in the dragon's body and they'd both still be there if and when you came back that way.
