My husband made this game.... he still goes to gaming expos - have fun playing

Oh Boy, do I remember the love-hate relationship I had with that game!

Watching this I realized I still remember my "patterns" for the first three levels.

Man, I used to play this all night back b 86'-87'. I had weird little cousin who was genuinely afraid of the stage 'Vampire' & he would sprint out of the room when he heard the sound of the "flapping bat wings" hahaha

Omg  my favorite game for Commodore 64  back in  the 80’s. Great memories 😃😃😃😃

3:24 my all time favourite jingle

To me the best and most addictive C-64 game.

Throughout my childhood, my aunt and uncle from Pittsburgh (who were fairly wealthy) would come up to visit my grandma and us (our family; me, my mom, my little sister, and little brother, all lived with grandma and my mom's sister, Aunt Debbie.)  And every time they would bring up their amazing Commodore 64 computer with them, and we would all play videogames together... with one certain special game being the most popular: Jumpman, with which we would all hold tournaments together every Christmas!  

My, mom, my little brother, my Aunt Debbie, and Aunt Sis, Uncle Andy, and cousins Eric and Rachel and Allison who'd come up from Pittsburgh, would all pile into chairs around the computer where we'd set it up in the warm cozy dining room, listening to Christmas music, looking at the sparkling Christmas tree with its blinking lights and presents piled underneath, and watching through the windows as the snow fell outside, all waiting our turns to tackle the next level and collect all the bombs to save Jupiter.  

("Dunh, dunh-dunh-dunh, DUNH-dunh-DUNH-dunh, dunh-dunh-DUNH!")

Well, in 1987 my aunt and uncle got our family the very best Christmas present we had ever received: a brand new Commodore 64 system of our very own, complete with disk drive, dot matrix printer, an official full-color Commodore monitor, and a box full of videogames on floppy disk!  It was so amazing!

Well, included in that box of floppies alongside rad games such as Ghostbusters, Bruce Lee, Choplifter, Fort Apocalypse, Raid on Bung-Ling Bay, and Raid Over Moscow, the also made sure to include our own copy of Jumpman so we could hold our own tournaments any time we wanted!

Aunt Debbie died suddenly three years ago, out of the blue, and Grandma followed a few months later.  But my Aunt Sis is coming up to visit in just a few months for the first time in years, and I've still got a Commodore 64 emulator somewhere on my laptop, and the Jumpman ROM in a folder somewhere... after seeing this and being reminded of those good times, I think I just have to ask if mom, Aunt Sis, and my brother would all like to hold another Jumpman tournament in memory of happy days gone by.  I'm hoping they'll jump at the chance! (pun definitely intended!😁)

The most fun part of this game was trying to get the last ring while dying, or in some really crazy unrecoverable position so that the game stopped after the last ring, and you had struck a pose in mid air!

There is no other classic like this game

No fatalities here, but a flawless victory just the same. 🙂👍

On the off chance you didn’t hate your life as a child, there was always Jumpman.

1:28 now that's a good sound effect there

This was my all time favorite commodore 64 game. The controls were tight compared to other games. I loved the sound of his tippy tappies when we would run. The slow moving bullets always terrified me before blasting in my direction. Each level was so different from the others. Amazing game.

I must have logged hundreds of hours playing Jumpman on my C64 as a kid, and I can not for the life of me remember Grand Puzzle III with the weird moving wormhole. I guess I never won!

A lot of creativity in this for such an early and at a glance simple platformer

After 40 years, my muscle memory started to kick in all of a sudden....

I miss EPYX games.

I remember playing this game in the 80's.  It was an extraordinary pain to progress through, and I gave up after the 4th or 5th level.  Just couldn't get any further.  It was remarkable seeing the movements made in the game, and how orchestrated everything was.  Complexity without appearing complex.
