About Bump 'n' Jump

Bump 'n' Jump is an overhead-view vehicular combat game developed by Data East and originally released in Japan as "Burnin' Rubber". The arcade version was available as both a dedicated board and as part of Data East's DECO Cassette System. It was distributed in North America by Bally Midway. The goal is to drive to the end of a level while bumping enemy vehicles into the sides of the track and jumping over large obstacles such as bodies of water. The arcade game was a commercial success in Japan and North America. The game was ported to the Atari 2600, Intellivision, ColecoVision, Nintendo Entertainment System, and Sharp X1. The Famicom version of Burnin' Rubber was published as "Buggy Popper" in Japan in 1986.

Mattel's M Network version of the Data East driving game, an inexpensive pick for arcade-port collectors.

Bump 'n' Jump began as a 1982 Data East arcade game in which you drive to the end of a course, knocking enemy cars into the sides of the track and jumping over obstacles such as water. Mattel published the Atari 2600 version in 1983 under its M Network label, designed by Dave Akers and Jeff Ratcliff. Telegames is also listed as a publisher of the 2600 cartridge.

What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 2 No. 11

February 1984

Graphics ★★ · Play-Action ★★½

“BUMP'N'JUMP is not a bad game to play, though, particularly for younger players who get a kick out of all the bashing and crashing. However, experienced game players are likely to become bored after a few rounds.”
— Computer Entertainer, February 1984

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — stars in most years, diamonds in 1986–87 — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.
