Can you believe it? This game is 23 years old!! I
remember playing this game to death and never expecting
a game ending sequence - games in them days were mainly
high-score orientated. So to my amazement, I have
actually discovered, 23 years on, that the game DOES in
fact posses an ending - NO WAY!
Without further a do, here
it is ...

Jumpman completes the
final destination.

A rocket ship comes to
collect Jumpman ...

...

... and takes him home.
The End.
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
I ... erm ... used a level-skip cheat (come on! it's me
you're talking to!)
SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
Once Jumpman has completed the final screen and is given
a BIG scoring bonus, the screen changes to show Jumpman
being taken away in a rocket ship and safely transported
to his homeland. At the foot of the screen is the
message, "MISSION COMPLETED! FINAL SCORE ######".
A short tune is playing to
accompany the final sequence.
COMMENTS: I
am TOTALLY astonished that this game actually has and
ending, and it isn't bad either. The programmer, Randy
Glover, obviously had an ending in mind when writing
this game and it was well executed: nice, sound,
animation and story ending.
FINAL SAY: It's
kind of a lost trinket that has been found!
