About the Game

One of the earliest games in the platformer genre, Jumpman sees you take on the role of an intrepid agent tasked with collecting and disarming deadly bombs laid by the evil Alienators. Traverse the 30 challenging levels of Jupiter headquarters, running, climbing and jumping from platform to platform - but watch out! A single misstep will send you tumbling to the ground!

Originally released in 1983, Jumpman became the first big hit for developer Epyx, and remains an icon of the platformer genre.

Contains both the Commodore 64 and MSDOS versions of the game.

Features

  • 30 different levels
  • 5 different modes (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Grand Loop and Randomizer)
