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!

G.E. RATING: 6 / 10
