The Jungle Book adapts the Disney film on Virgin NES with Mowgli crossing the Indian jungle to escape Shere Khan the tiger. The representation chains platform with fruit collection and combat with friend animals in a family Disney license formula. Honest for NES Disney platform fans, curiosity of the 8 bit Virgin catalog.

Collector interest

Released in North America in 1994, exceptionally late for the NES as retail had all but dropped the platform, which kept the US print run small and sends sealed prices climbing. The Disney Jungle Book licence sustains steady nostalgic demand, and Virgin Interactive's port holds up technically. This USA edition clearly outvalues the European one, with sealed copies from that final stretch having become hard to source.
