Jumpster was a crazy little game that I came up with in 1983 while I was just getting ahold of mastering 6502 Assembly Language. Eventually this game was published in UpTime Disk Monthly in 1987!

Romero > And here you see Jumpster in its menu system glory!

Romero > Here's my shabby title screen slammed together after UpTime told me they wanted to publish the game. I hacked this in along with some other changes to support UpTime's shell program.

Romero > The idea for the game was partially inspired by Olaf Lubeck's 1982 masterpiece Cannonball Blitz. Without the fun!

Romero > This was my initial sketch for what I thought the game could be, with the first level on the left and the 2nd level on the right.

Romero > This was my design page for Jumpster and you'll see I was getting ambitious with adding new enemies. The problem was that I thought it was too similar to Jawbreaker II so I changed it to be simpler.

It also looks like I was planning on using Graphics Magician for the animation back then. But I didn't - it's all my own code and none of Mark Pelczarski's! Evidently, this made Mark resort to teaching college many years later.

The nice, short instructions.....which I did not write.
