Let's Go JUNGLE! Lost on the Island of Spice (Sega Lindbergh) Arcade

This is a jungle safari gone wrong themed on-rails shooter for one or two players.

Players take the role of a man and woman who are tourists stranded on an island which is overrun by giant insects. Using the cabinet mounted guns players must shoot their way through hordes of enemies, including giant spiders, swarms of insects, large dragonflies, frogs, piranhas and more.

The stages are called tourist attraction and they include "Jungle Safari", "River Cruise", "Elephant Ride" and "Island Hopping". Each stage ends with an end boss, including a giant spider, an enormous frog, a mutated plant and a big butterfly. Each boss has several hot spots displayed as targets which the players must shoot.

Occasionally the shooting action is broken up with quick time events where players must work together to perform synchronized actions. During the quick time events the players must duck to avoid obstacles, repeatedly tap the button to start an engine, or jump by pressing the buttons at the same time. At the end of each stage the players' compatibility is shown as a percentage in a heart shape.

This game can't be emulated with MAME since Sega Lindbergh is not fully supported yet. This game can be played using TeknoParrot on Windows and Lindbergh Loader on Linux (this post is using files prepared for TeknoParrot and thus may not work with Lindbergh Loader)

How to Run:

1. The requirements for TeknoParrot are DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) and Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable
2. Download TPBootstrapper from here
3. Download the zip file containing the dat file from here and extract it to your Downloads folder
4. Create a folder called TeknoParrot in your Downloads folder, extract TPBootstrapper and run the exe
5. Tell TeknoParrot Web Installer to use the folder you just created
6. Select and download (one at a time) TeknoParrot UI, TeknoParrot, TeknoParrotElfLdr2, and OpenSegaAPI
7. Extract the folder from the 7z containing the game files and move it into the TeknoParrot folder
8. Launch TeknoParrotUi.exe and accept its privacy policy and when asked if you'd like to set up a game say No (it pops up twice for some reason)
9. Click Next, click Browse and pick the .dat file from earlier and click Next
10. Skip Game Scanning and then skip Controls Setup (we'll get to that in a bit)
11. Keep clicking Next and then Finish. When asked if you want to add a game say No again
12. Click the 3 lines menu at the top left and click Add Game
13. In the list pick Let's Go Jungle: Lost on the Island of Spice (the Special version of the game is actually missing some content and just had a fancier arcade cabinet that was "more immersive") and click Add Game and Return
14. Click Game Settings and click the line under Game Executable to be able to pick it and from the folder for the game pick the file lgj_final then replace Japan with USA in both options. Make sure Rawinput is the input API so you can use a mouse.
15. Go back and click Controller Setup and set up the controls to how you like. Preferably choosing the mouse for the light gun. If you have multiple mouse/pointer devices you can have one be Player two as well.
16. Click Play and wait a little bit for the game to start
17. TeknoParrot will ask for you to update but it's not out of date and it just wants you to install the other modules that aren't needed for this game, so just ignore it.

TeknoParrot requires a monthly subscription in order to play online with their leaderboards and stuff. You can skirt around that however by using Parsec if you want to play online with a friend (you'll just have to fix the Controller Settings to accommodate for it) The subscription is also required for being able to have force feedback/vibration (which is BS, but at least the game can be played with no other limitations)
