We introduce March / April's GOTM.........Jumping Jack !!

It has been a while but it's alive and kicking !! Our GOTM competition !! Have fun with this crazy platform game !

Playing as Jack, a hapless explorer that jumps from platform to platform, the objective is to get to the top of each screen. There are holes, jungle animals and other hazards that block his path !!

Good luck and have fun

Here I was thinking Moon Patrol was gonna be the GOTM, then I remember Han saying that GC still had what he wanted to do. It's ok because I'm familiar with this from the 60-in-1s.

Thanks for the honesty wolfman!  Sorry for the delay.. I had to go to bed early Thursday night because of an early work day Friday.. then I ended up feeling really tired and had a migraine so I didn't get a chance to even turn on my computer yesterday, let alone check GameEx.  All good now!

Never even heard of this game before. Took me awhile to get used to it. I ended up bouncing monkeys off the board and farming as many points as I could on the first level using my first two lives (the mole that appears near the bottom gives an easy 5k if you double back and grab the treasure chest he leaves behind). Then I managed to blow through a whole bunch of levels on my last life.

I've never heard of this game either.  Maybe just in passing, but certainly never played it.  I hope to get some game time in later this week when I have a day off.

I already know that you can beat this, GC, so you just keep focusing on girls & boobs & stuff. At least until I win that badge.

I want to focus on girls & boobs & stuff too, but I'm still just a lonely bachelor.  Probably will be forever.  Least I got video games to keep me company!

This game is awesome. Universal hype

This game was a bit sluggish on my machine but i just upgraded so I'm looking forward to putting up a score. Anyone notice the guy rolling the boulders at the top might be just a tad bit racist?  Still a fun game.

[hansolo77]

Welcome to the board.  Kind of nerfed about your first post mentioning something about racism, but whatever.  Hope you enjoy your stay, and we look forward to having you here!

To be fair, I can see what he's taking about. It's a game from another generation... And from another part of the world.

There's actually a fair number of characters like that in Japanese media. Although, nowadays, when they export something like this to the West. they usually recolor the blackface to purple in hopes that us sensitive Americans don't get too worked up.

Didn't mean to stir up any controversy - sorry about that -  just making an observation. I'm not offended by it at all but some may be.

[Mame Offender]

No Offense whatsoever, it's all good.

No spots gained, but worth a mention, I guess.
