The game has four screens: a forest of swinging vines, a river of crocodiles, a hill of falling rocks and a camp where two native African warriors dance around striking their spears up and down where our hero’s woman dangles above a boiling cauldron.

On the first level, the player presses the fire button to make the Tarzan character jump from vine to vine. Since the jump range is limited, you will need to wait until the time is right before leaping towards the next vine. Avoid the monkeys who can knock the player character from the vine.

On the second level, use the joystick to move Tarzan around the screen in order to avoid the hungry crocodiles. Press the fire button to stab the enemies with the knife, but only when their mouths are partly or fully closed. Avoid the ascending air bubbles as these will trap your character and invetably drag you into an approaching crocodile. Be sure to return to the surface periodically so Tarzan can catch a quick breath, otherwise he will drown.

For the third level, push the joystick left or right to have Tarzan run either slower or faster. Press the fire button to jump over the small rocks. To avoid the larger boulders, you must either jump, run or duck by pulling down on the joystick.

On the fourth level, Tarzan must jump over and between the natives while their spears are down. After that, Tarzan must jump toward the woman when she has been lowered enough for him to reach her. This becomes more difficult as the levels progress since another native later appears on the tree nearby throwing spears directly at the player characterone at a time.

After the woman has been rescued, it says “Congratulations!” and then a cute intermission plays featuring Tarzan and his woman together along with a message saying “I Love You!” followed by the woman kissing Tarzan. Afterwards, the levels begin again, but with an increased difficulty.
