    description
    *Jungle Life* is [[manufacturer:lori]]'s unlicensed, built-from-scratch copy of [[manufacturer:gottlieb]]'s *[[model:jungle-life]]*, and one of at least three Italian *bootleg* versions of that single American design — [[manufacturer:emmepi]] and [[manufacturer:zaccaria]] rebuilt it too. Gottlieb's original was itself an [[reward-type:add-a-ball]] game turned out expressly for export to Italy: the one-player entry in a [[theme:jungle]]-themed trio whose two- and four-player relatives were sold as *[[model:wild-life]]* and *[[model:jungle-2]]*.[1] The three machines shared a playfield and differed mainly in player count, which Gottlieb priced in tiers so that operators with less to spend could buy the smaller versions.[2] From [[location:italy/bo/bologna]], LORI reproduced this much-copied [[technology-generation:electromechanical]] cabinet for the domestic market.
