Damn, I wish I still had my 800XL :(

10 levels with 5 skill levels and I was king at age 7 .

One of my favourite Atari games ever. I think I completed it. It was only 9 levels I think. Miner 2049'er and Rally Speedway were my other favourites.

Oh man, this game was godly on Commodore 64, loved it!
This was the first game I played on my Atari 800XL. I've never completed it, though. Does anyone know how many levels there are ?

To the best of my memory, I think there are 9 levels. If you look at the level number in the bottom right of the screen, there's only room for one digit. There might be a tenth level, '0', but I can't remember. I'm pretty sure I've completed all of them, though.

The deaths were always quite jarring! Especially when he smashed his face into a lift. The best modern system to play this, and other 800XL games on, is probably Sony's PSP, which handles emulation really well. I do have an Atari 800 emulator for my DS, but it only runs at half speed, so it's pretty much unplayable.

That was the first computer game i ever played.
It was around 1988, I was 12 and we played it with my colegues at school (13 boys, gaping at the screen, eager to play, waiting for their turn). Im from Poland and that was during cold war.A year later we chased Russians out of our country and communism collapsed. YEahhh.

Awesome! I'd like to think Jet Boot Jack was responsible for the collapse of Communism in Poland!
