Jungle Lord is a 1981 pinball machine designed by Barry Oursler and produced by Williams Pinball. It features a Tarzan influenced theme, a multi-level playfield and a magnetic ball saver ("Magna Save"). Williams had introduced Magna Save in the Black Knight pinball game in 1980; Jungle Lord was one of four further Magna Save games produced in 1981, along with Pharaoh, Solar Fire and Grand Lizard.{{cite book |last1=Rossignoli |first1=Marco |title=The Complete Pinball Book: Collecting the Game and Its History |date=2011 |publisher=Schiffer Publishing |isbn=978-0-7643-3785-7 |edition=3rd |pages=218–219}} One difference from the Black Knight design was that Jungle Lord incorporated a "self-contained mini bagatelle style 'chamber' playfield, found on the top left-hand corner."
Jungle Lord also included an innovative scoring feature called Double Trouble, a drop target feature that engages when the player hits five special targets.{{cite journal |title=Double Trouble Is Among Hit Features On Williams New 'Jungle Lord' Pinball |journal=Cash Box |date=April 4, 1981 |volume=XLII |issue=46 |page=37 |url=https://archive.org/details/cashbox42unse_44/page/36/mode/2up |access-date=1 September 2020}}
Description
Jungle Lord was the second of the four two-level System 7 games that Williams produced, the others being Black Knight, Pharaoh and Solar Fire.
The early production of the game had a red cabinet, and around 100 units were made. The later ones had a blue cabinet and the tiger artwork was slightly changed.
