In 1984, IBM publishes Jumpman on DOS. Also published on Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit and Apple II, this action game is abandonware and is set in a platform. Jumpman is a puzzle platformer made to look like a Atari 2006 or Apple // retro game from the early eighties, but with modern gameplay techniques. Where those classic games consist of static levels, one after another, in this game the entire set of levels is envisioned as a full world. That way, it.
The jumpman project mainThe goal behind the jumpman project is toconvert this self booting game from 1983 to a DOS application which can be run underwindows. (well, DOSBox anyway)This is for nostalgia's sake as well as learning the inner workings of a very popular PCarcade game.This web page is in no way designed to harm the original author, Randy Glover or thecompany Epyx by releasing their products into the public domain without permission. Thisis a page of worship for the original authors and repayment for the hours and hours ofenjoyment I received from the game back in the day. Jumpman is a game I feel deserves tobe resurrected to operate on today's high speed computers with enhanced graphics andsound. Since Epyx can no longer do it, I am honored to do the job for them.The primary objectives of this projectare. Objective:Status:Complete gameplay.Complete! Minor issues aside, the game is 100%playable.Free commented, compilable source codeComplete!
