Floyd of the Jungle is a 1982 platform game for Atari 8-bit computers and part of the initial batch of games from MicroProse. Designed and programmed by company co-founder Sid Meier,[1] it is one of the few 2D action games he created and the only platform game. It allows up to four players at once.

The 1982 release is written in Atari BASIC. A second version, published in 1983,[2] is programmed in assembly language for improved performance, and the computer controls any unused players.[3] Version 2 was available for both the Atari 8-bit family and Commodore 64.[4]
