nathanallan Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 It just occurred to me, this is a natural when thinking of the 7800 and console ports. Was it ever released for the 7800? If not, why? Seems it would be a great game to play, even if you couldn't have a level editor. Being the 7800, I bet you could have anyway (had a level editor, that is). Please someone tell me why this game (not Jr., but the original from Epyx) was never on the 7800?? Is it glaringly obvious to everyone but me?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumpman By the way, Matt Chat is very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarian63 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Maybe it was an old title by the time 7800 was released...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 May be, but it would have been a great title for the 7800. Heck, even the Master System would have been a great platform for it! I can see it as a great vertical scroller. Screen by screen, since the Jumpman and Lode Runner screens were both pretty large and had a lot of platforms, ladders, all that great stuff.

I wold like to see both Jumpman and lode runner on the 7800. I played both on the C-64 back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE the original Loderunner, I would buy that game in a second if it was available in original (8-bit) form for the 7800!!! Wasn't Loderunner an announced title for the 7800 with a product number even? Adept Rapier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuzzed Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I was thinking both Jumpman and Lode Runner were supposed to be in the works for the 7800.... Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final two product numbers for the game aren't even according the dp guide. The Lode Runner Atari 7800 Product number is CX7833. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) According to the wiki for Jumpman :- ""Jumpman" was the original name used for Mario in the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong". Maybe some trolling is going on from the OP of that claim . EDIT: For clarity Edited June 18, 2009 by GroovyBee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
