Jumping Jackson Remake (2004)

by puzzlehouse

This is a remake of a GREAT classic. Jumping Jackson is a little yellow dude, with a love for 80's style rock-computer music. He has to jump around a board, avoiding the instruments, jumping on coloured tiles to get a record (no not a criminal record... remember vinyl?).

When he has found these coloured records he has to seek out a coloured record-player. You might want to search for a record player in the same colour, though.

As you apply records, the music builds up, and becomes this grooving rock-game music from your youth. (Depending on your date of birth).

All in all a great game with lots of hours of fun involved.

  I think eMTe hit it right on the money...
  A bit buggy, and I can't seem to recollect hwo you avoid the monsters when you teleport next to them on a "oneway street"...?
  
  The game is good and if you ever played the original then you will appreciate this one too. Game tune is exactly how I remembered it...

  The game is a bit buggy (author fairly admits it in readme file). I got to level 8 or 9 and received "not enough frames in bitmap" (or bitmaps in frame? ) message. And so the play starts again.
  
  Also, there is an "enter pasword" option on the title screen, but I didnt get any password before 9th level... It comes every ten levels probably...
  
  Apart from this it's a very good game imo. Having not played the original I cant say how good remake it is though.
