Years ago there was a game called 'Jumpman' running from a floppy boot disk for the IBM PC with 8088 at 4.77 MHz. Unfortunately this game was implemented in a way that makes it unplayable even with an 80286 at 6 MHz. The actual game 'Classic Jumpman' is mostly equivalent with the optic, sound, and course of the play of the original. However, it runs on any PC using DOS. If there is a Soundblaster compatible sound card installed, it will be detected and used for sounds and music.

I've been playing this game my whole life! First on my Commodore 64 in the early 80s, and now here. My high score is 60,400 on the Grand Loop. Other than to keep your eye on your character at all times, my one piece of advice is to stay away from the top, left and right edges of the screen while a bullet is going offscreen and reappearing. New bullets can and will come from anywhere (except the bottom of the screen)! Better to lose a few points off your bonus than to lose a life.
i love it
Great implementation!
Wow, this works really well! In contrast to several other emulators I've tried. This brings back good memories!
I found my jumpman floppy disk today ... It's over 33 years old ... Oh My !!!
AWESOME GAME!
YES! This is the exact Jump Man I used to play. Those little balls still cheat and it pisses me off. I haven't been this angry for over 24 year. Love it!
I LOVED this game as a kid on my Commodore 64. Our whole family used to play. My grandma's dr. told her to stop playing because she had become so addicted that she strained her wrist from using the joystick! Something we still tease her about today. I couldn't believe how quickly my skills came back to me. FUN!!!
Thanks so much for this! I was shocked at how much my fingers just remembered the moves to all the levels, 30 years later. What a great trip down memory lane. I can't believe my mind recalls all this:)
Back in the 1980's Jumpman was the best video game ever. I used to stay up all night playing it with a friend for hours and hours on my old Commodore 64 computer. It was like losing an old friend when computers got more advanced and I could no longer use my Jumpman cartridge! I tried the various iterations of Jumpman for PC that have come along, but none have seemed to work on today's faster computers, expecially not 64 bit PC's. So I was so happy to find this site after all those years where I can play the original jumpan online! The only difference I can see is that I do not find a way to select the speed of the game (I used to play on 2). But this is awesome, thank you!!!
