Let's Go Jungle - Lost on the Island of Spice

Let's Go Jungle!: Lost on the Island of Spice is a joystick-mounted gun arcade game by Sega. Players take the roles of Ben and Norah stranded on a jungle island which has been overrun by monsters. Each player must shoot the monsters with his or her machine guns while looking for rescue. Gameplay Let's Go Jungle!: Lost on the Island of Spice is an on-rails arcade shooter. Players assume the roles of dysfunctional couple Ben and Norah, who are going on an island tour to work out their problems. Co-op is available as a mode of play, though one may play alone as well. Players must make their way across the island of Spice, while killing mutated animals and insects, such as frogs, leeches, spiders, water bugs, piranhas, pillbugs, fleas, and flies, along the way. The players are given FN FAL assault rifles early in the game to fend off the creatures, and this will be the primary weapon for use against the creatures. However, sometimes improvised weapons, such as paddles and slingshots, will have to be used. All weapons are controlled by a light gun controller on a mounted fulcrum, similar to another Sega on-rail shooter, The Ocean Hunter. The "Deluxe" Arcade Cabinet allows players to sit inside a model offroad truck.[1][2] Some parts of every level are quick-time events, where players must move the gun in a certain direction, rapidly tap a button or tap a button at the right time to survive a dangerous situation. Higher points are awarded for executing quick-time events sooner, where failure will cause the player's life bar to decrease, although the bar will drop to 1% (and stay there) if the player missed a quick-time event with only a little bit of life remaining, as it is not possible for a game over to occur during any particular sequence of quick-time events. At the end of each stage, the player must battle a boss, which is usually a heavily mutated and powerful monster. To attack it, the player must quickly shoot at each of several indicated target points that are marked on the boss until they disappear. Failure to hit all targets within a short period of time will allow the boss to attack the player and deal massive damage, while hitting all targets will deal damage to the boss and disrupt its attempted attack. Bosses are extremely powerful such that the player can only survive at most two attacks from a boss before having to continue. Story Ben and Norah, whose relationship is floundering, tour an island in Asia, Amoi Island. However, when going on a tour, they find that mutant giant insects are wreaking havoc, and they are desperate to escape from disaster. At the beginning of the tour by jeep, Ben appears nervous, while Norah attempts to calm him down until a group of tarantulas chases the jeep. A guide with a hat tells the couple to sit down until he is killed by a large tarantula, terrifying the both of them. They are then given FN FAL assault rifles by another tour guide, which will be used to defend themselves against the spider swarms. Another tour guide gets killed by the tarantula, then both Ben and Norah encounter another group of tourists. Eventually, their vehicle goes off the road with a swarm of mutant dragonflies and crashes; however, before they can ask the driver what happened, the driver exits the vehicle and runs away in panic. They immediately discover why; a giant purple tarantula has found them. They manage to escape it by driving their vehicle over a broken bridge, jumping over a cliff in the process. Ben's map shows them that they have two options for where to go next: a cave or a river. If the player(s) choose(s) the cave, Ben and Norah find a trio of survivors and escape the cave with them thanks to an SOS sign made with rocks. They all escape the cave by sliding down a cave waterslide thanks to the help of a grandson. Ben and Norah escape, but take a fork in the road to the right where the cave spiders are. They all succeed, including the grandpa and grandson, escaping the cave. One of the survivors claims that Ben and Norah are not helping them and declares himself the leader, taking their guns. Before they can protest further, a rescue helicopter arrives. Ben and Norah are temporarily given the grandson's slingshots to defend themselves. Eventually, they reach the helicopter but find it doesn't have enough room for them. The pilot informs them that there is another extraction point in a nearby village from which they can evacuate the island, and they are given their guns back. As the helicopter takes off, they are attacked by a giant mantis. Upon killing the mantis, they discover that they are standing in front of a Buddha shrine, to which Norah comments: "It really is mysterious Asia".
