I've been hacking the switches in my buttons & joysticks lately, so let's play a good 8-way joystick game to give my joystick a thorough workout! :) Bump 'n' Jump is a nice, simple, cute game that's deceptively difficult. Learn the other cars. Learn the tracks. I remember playing this a lot at Major Magic's (like Showbiz Pizza), & I later had a Bump 'n' Jump cassette for my DECO cocktail machine--booooy, those tapes took forever to load...
Bump 'n' Jump
Romset bnj
Lives: 3
Bonus Life: Every 30,000
Difficult: Easy [Twin Galaxies uses hard, but I think it's hard enough as-is, & easy seems to be the default]
Special Rules: None.
- One credit only.
- No continues!
- No MAME cheats!
- Last day is Sunday January 17st (11:59:59pm Pacific Daylight Time), 2010. (Let's give this a couple of extra days to account for the holidays still going on & so that we don't have people competing on a Friday or Saturday night--I don't want to be responsible for diminishing people's social lives!)
- High score wins.
- No savestates, savestate practices, etc. during the round.
- MAME INP recordings are optional, but encouraged!
- A screenshot is required to enter a score (press F12 to save screenshot showing your final score) or take a photo of the screen if playing on a real machine.
Good luck!
Thanks,
-Jason
PS--my unofficial first score: 40,100.
CrazyKongFan:
Thanks for picking another classic! I really like this one, although I'm not that great at it. Can probably clear 4 or 5 boards. I actually have access to a real machine (at a nearby video store), but I have no idea what difficulty they have it set at (I think the free man setting is every 30K)

Yah, after the sparse turnout for the Mappy contest (because holidays made for too much of a distraction, not because Mappy was a bad choice), I didn't want to continue crippling our contest momentum by selecting one of my obscure oddball favorites...
...I'll save an oddball one for the next time I win! >:D
