About Jumpman Junior

Jumpman Junior is the sequel to Jumpman and features similar gameplay with all new levels. As Jumpman, your goal is to disarm all of the bombs on the level before time runs out. Each level consists of a variety of platforms, ladders, and ropes you will need to jump and climb to reach the bombs. To make the game more challenging, a bullet will fire on the screen from time to time which will cause Jumpman to lose a life if hit. Each level has a different theme to it, and a few also have additional dangers as well. You will encounter deadly fires, the bouncing hellstones, moving ladders, disappearing platforms, and more.

Epyx's computer platformer, cut down to fit a ColecoVision cartridge.

Epyx released the ColecoVision Jumpman Junior in 1984, adapted from a game that first appeared on the Atari 8-bit and Commodore 64 in 1983. Wikipedia describes the cartridge version as reduced in scope, and says the ColecoVision release also went out in Australia, France, Germany, Italy and the UK.

Computer Entertainer's schedule listed it among the March ColecoVision releases, but the surviving text does not describe how it plays.

What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 3 No. 1April 1984Graphics ★★★½ · Play-Action ★★★★

“JUMPMAN JUNIOR ranks right alongside Miner 2049er as superb example of the best in climbing games.”

— Computer Entertainer, April 1984

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — diamonds through early 1987, stars after — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.

Worth knowing

  • From the ColecoVision manual. The game has 12 levels, played in order; if you finish all of them it keeps going with random levels.
  • From the ColecoVision manual. Each player chooses a speed from 1 (fastest) to 8 (slowest) at the start, and it cannot be changed during the game.
  • From the ColecoVision manual. Players earn an extra Jumpman for every 7,500 points.

Before you buy

It needs a standard ColecoVision controller; no overlay is documented. European copies exist alongside North American ones, so check the box and label match the copy you want. Complete copies sell for a clear premium over loose cartridges.
