The Story
Tim Sweeney — later the founder of Epic Games and the Unreal Engine — programmed Jill of the Jungle in 1992. It shipped as Epic's first major shareware release: a three-game trilogy where Jill, a warrior woman, fought through jungle, desert, and dungeon environments with a throwing knife. Epic released all three episodes as freeware in 2007. Sweeney's engine work is visible in the scrolling quality and the sprite animation — the technical foundation that would lead, eventually, to Unreal.
