A port of Runescape for the cancelled Panasonic Jungle handheld.

Runescape is estimated to have 5k – 18k players a day. Around 470k – 1m accounts have played it in total. The range is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player and review counts, then converted to daily actives and accounts — so it covers the Steam player base and will under-count a game played mostly through its own launcher or on console.
