[whoopdiddydo]

[JudieAlphatq372]

ey mein hintern ist geil

[tulkasainur]

Man, I used to play this when I was 5, when I see this video I feel sentimental, because I associate my gamer infancy with the happy raising that my parents gave me (and the fact that my father is the main responsable for my gamer hobbie).

[XHeliManX]

MARIOS PREDESESSOR~

[Wrathgir]

Love this game. I play it all the time on my computer. :3

[nolalilmama]

I use to play this on my IBM computer

[TheTracyPaul]

oh i love this game :)

[MOOKYJONES]

THIS BRINGS BACK SOME REAL MEMORIES. THX FOR UPLOADING IT

[rnjbond]

First computer game I ever played.

[TeemATM]

@rnjbond Ditto, that and pitfall

[kozmon0t]

from the days when an individual programmer could make a game that sells millions of copies

(and tens of millions of pirated copies, but they still get rich)

I remember it was bundled with C64's in stores for a while

[qaleta]

Were can i download this game? 

[Wrathgir]

@qaleta the original isn't available unless you wanna get a emulator rom of it. if you don't then you could always go to download Jumpman under construction which is basically the same thing but you can get all the levels of Jumpman and Jumpman Jr. also you could create your own levels. If you wanna check it out go to their site members.iinet.net.au/~cleathle­y/jumpman/

[last8frames]

Man I loved this game back in the day... I liked Jumpman Jr More though. Then again, I was like 7 at the time, so who can say what I was thinking.

[DougieBarclay]

You must be a real hoot at parties

[aBigHairySpider]

I played Jumpman over and over and over... It was a great game.

[NearSW]

I miss this game :(

[KoopaTroopaGreen]

u gots skillz!!

[daxterx30]

So is Jumpman Mario?

[2bornot2b1984]

Ah, brings back fond memories of my induction into the machine.

[2muchreality4u]

Jumpman was one of my favorite games of all times. It had so many angles to winning levels made it very unique and fun.

[shawbros]

No one can jump like Jumpman can.

[fluffycatears]

I loved this game so much, and still do.

And you know what? It would be still as difficult to play as it was then! I love Jumpman! And of course LodeRunner, Pitfall, Caverns of Kafka, Bristles etc etc so many games

[AkiProductions]

This was such a great game. I remember playing this a lot, although who ever played this game was like awesome. I always died a couple times before passing a level cause I never knew where things were moving....

[vozkaa]

Great, I never really got past the vampire level :))

[Ophitus]

This game was the shit 5/5

[mikeusat]

Nice. I think you're the first person I've seen who's posted a nostalgic video who was actually really good at the game they posted. Nice! I remember this game well. I haven't seen those boards in literally 25 years, but they're ingrained in to my brain. I still remember them.

[chercle]

I'm reeling from nostalgia. I used to play jumpman incessantly on the comodore 64 when I was a kid. Brings back such good memories. I loved this game so much that I went through the jumpman code line by line and I created a program that allowed you to design your own screens. Thanks a lot for posting!

[plymouthbaccaruda426]

The original Mario : )

[kashinbriefs]

BRING BACK THE GOOD TIMES. Especailly when I could not play my nintendo.

[segasonic623]

The sound when he gets the "cheerios" is funny.

[mrthingus]

Wow, so much nostalgia. I was maybe around 4 or 5 when I first played this. I had no idea of course what to do.

[frigginjoe]

Great job. I recently started playing Jumpman Jr a bit on my Colecovision and am really considering getting myself an 8-bit computer to play some of these old games. Damn fun stuff.

[gurunade]

So gangster.

[shinobinpc]

muy bueno¡¡¡

[dynamicwolf]

Splendidly nostalgic

[puffinwrangler]

Jumpman was one of my favourite games, and Jumpman Jr. was good too. What I liked best was the playability, if you're only able to watch the video you won't understand the feel of how the jumpman responded so intuitively to the joystick. It was a great example of game interface.

[DaftMANIA]

This game still offers awesome movement and is very playable! Unlike more than 90% of all other c64 games. Very impressive

[FreakyLynx]

I really enjoyed this game back in the day. I even picked up the ripoff Junkman Junior version for the Texas Instruments since I didn't have a real computer to play it on :P

[brautlover]

come on, youre using a cheat!

in level 4 youre jumping 2 times through a bullet (about at 1:35 and 1:44)i remember how often i died in this easy level when i was 10 years old (i was very impatient ;)

but its one of my favorite games of this time

nice video!!

[Tafferling]

The name of the level is "JUMPING BLOCKS" and, sure enough, those big menacing blocks just make you jump!

[GNRSlash94]

Was this game for PC?

[KrK007]

Jumpman was an AWESOME game.

No way is it on any worst game list, unless that list was made by lamers.

[quang188]

well, it may be fun when ur high. I mean, this dude is not even jumping. He is just climbing the ladders...

[thrblurr]

wasn't mario's arigonal name was jump man????

[THEBIGZED]

Lol'd, this was on a 50 Worst Games of All Time -list.

[MercenaryCobra1]

Actually, it was on a 50 worst game NAMES of all time list. The game itself is actually rather good.

[THEBIGZED]

My bad... It must be pretty "playable" if people still play it.

[Tochyio]

In 1950 was that one of the best games ever ;) :P

[2bornot2b1984]

@THEBIGZED

Yeah the game rocks. I don't choose what I like based on lists.

It needs to grandfathered in just because it was one of the first game could play from the comfort of your own home. It's OG for sure.

[SnappyTheGamer]

@THEBIGZED even as MercenaryCobra1 points out your lack of comprehension of the list, I'll second - for those who just read about it on some list and weren't actually "there" - this game may look cheesy now, but was every bit as good as anything else at the time. Never had a problem with the name, either. Sounds like a stupid list, in any event.

[belldl]

Oh thank for the nostalgia - I assumed I'd exaggerated in memory how fun, and hard Jumpman was, I guess I didn't.

[RobynHarris]

I had a copy of this on cassette tape for Commodore 64. Wonderful. I remember the hack for infinite lives. At something like 8 minutes 47 seconds into loading the game you had to break the load process and input a string of Machine Languange through the Basic Poke command then continue the load for another seven and half minutes. if you had timed everything perfectly and entered the page of ML flawlessly, you had a game you could play until the computer locked up.

Usually about 5 minutes.

[swassontelus]

ha ha ha. Wasn't this taken word for word from a computer game magazine?! Great Stuff.

[thrash77581]

I had this game on my IBM PC jr back in the day. :)

This was the game that inspired Donkey Kong and thus, Mario. Mario's original name was "Jumpman" also.

[thrash77581]

Ok, I take this back. According to Wikipedia, this game was inspired *by* Donkey Kong. I could have sworn somewhere that it was the other way around, but I guess I was wrong.

[alillyphoto]

i love this game. i was so good at it. but never got to the end. the bat level was so hard

[xfx402536]

dicen que este fue el primer mario

[bierbestellung]

Load"*",8,1 That was brilliant. Jumpman rocks.

[Pikestaff]

I knew you could beat this game! I saw someone beat it once when I was a kid and was like "Whoooa"

Seriously this game gave me nightmares when I was about 3 years old, I dunno why... something about those crazy bullets flying after you and the way you bounced around like a ragdoll when you fell and died-- freaked me out o.o

[JLenoC6]

I had it on the plug in cartridge...and this really reminded me of how bad I sucked at it!

[fuzzywzhe]

BTW - complete the Grand Master Level, and I'll be impressed.

[fuzzywzhe]

Haha, I visited the building that this was written in before they tore it down for condos. Talked to Randy Glover too.

This was my favorite game for the C=64

[Strint101]

i remember my friend had this game, it was on like 50 disks....the good ole days laf.

[Trambolin111]

Call of Duty 4? PFFFF this game rulez all away =)

[bigmaxy07]

First game I ever had.

[jet472000]

[Crusader38]

good job, but can you do that on the 1 speed. Back in the eighties i used to play the randomizer level exclusively on the 1 speed....with mixed resultes...lol, but i played it on an atari 800 computer.

[newtman6]

[Sariele]

Used to watch my dad and bro play this for hours when I was about 4 years old. Classic. Thanks for posting. :)

[jay499]

i loved that game!

[segasonic623]

Hmmm.... NO!!!!

[hotvideocpweb]

JUMP MAN WHAS THE NAME OF MARIO

[MercenaryCobra1]

Well, the full name of the character was "Jupiter Jumpman", not just "Jumpman".

[kafkatastic]

My god, I must have been about 4 or 5 when we used to play this on my older cousin's Commodore 64.

[565765746867665]

Dang you're good.

[zapfly]

what kids today cant understand - yes, it was VERY entertaining! for hours and hours...^^

[r3krishnan]

Brings back memories of the 1980's.

[nicolunacba]

i play it on commodore and dos

[llwk78]

"Nice."

[CaptainLeiker]

This was my favourite game when I was younger. I used to play in 2-player mode with my sister on my Commodore 64. it is amazing!

[OrangeWeenieSurprise]

Sweet!
