Blitz PD - Jumpin' Jack

Louk · 28 July 2019, 21:47

Does anyone have the Blitz PD 1-4 disks that came with Blitz Basic 2 please? I used to have them years ago but haven't found them since and there was a game on there I used to play a lot and want to play again.

Cheers

Louk

http://grandis.nu/eabsearch/search.p...ude=&limit=100

Perhaps it contain what you are looking for

Hi Louk, would this be any good to you, I can post it to the Zone if you`d like?
Cheers

Louk · 29 July 2019, 17:03

yes please wizard1

Chip it has disks 1-3 apparently, but missing disk 4... I think that's the one that has the game I want (jumpin jack flash or similar title).

Can't find it anywhere but used to play it lots in 96-98

wizard1 · 29 July 2019, 17:27

Hi Louk, glad to help, disk is posted !
cheers

wizard1 · 29 July 2019, 17:29

Hi again louk, would that be a game called jumping jackson?????
cheers

DamienD · 29 July 2019, 18:01

Really doubt that the game Louk is talking about is Jumping Jack'Son, for many reasons:

Jumping Jack'son is a commercial game, not PD.
Not made with Blitz Basic 2.
Very easy to find.

wizard1 · 29 July 2019, 18:13

Hi DamienD, read but did`nt register what louk was really looking for. The road to hell and all that... good to see your still on the case, despite your recent retirment as a mod.

Cheers

Can you describe this game a little; what type / genre, graphics, any details etc?

If I Google "jumping jack flash amiga game pd" then I just get hits about "Jumping Jack'son" or "Transplant" as it contains those words i.e:

... Transplant (1992)(Jumping Jack Flash)(PD).zip

Louk · 29 July 2019, 19:22

Thanks guys, but sadly it's not it... it was called Jumpin' Jack

hipoonios did a vid with it

Ok, so now we are talking

Here are some "Jumpin' Jack" files:

... 0744 - Jumpin Jack's (1-1).DMS
... Astronut & Wise Man - Blasteris & Mamba Moves & Jumping Jack (19xx)(Astronut - Wise Man).zip
... JumpingJack-WHDL.lha

This is the game you are after

...let's see if I can make an .ADF out of it, be right back

DamienD · 29 July 2019, 22:05

Here you go Louk, enjoy

Oh, I assumed the game was released in 1992 by going off the "Jumpin.Doc.info" file... the rest of the files were reset to 1980.

Louk · 29 July 2019, 22:11

Amazing, i got the whdload working and thank you for making an ADF of it!

Hours of fun as it was very very very hard to do some levels too haha.

Thank you

DamienD · 29 July 2019, 22:18

No problem

...I also renamed the thread from "Blitz PD" --> "Blitz PD - Jumpin' Jack" to make it easier for people also searching for this game.

DamienD · 30 July 2019, 00:43

Just as an FYI; the game is actually on Aminet here: http://aminet.net/package/game/jump/JumpingJack

Looks like it was possibly released in 1995, or at least that's when it was uploaded to Aminet.

...guess this is where Aladin got the files from to put into a "generic" WHDLoad.

wizard1 · 30 July 2019, 03:39

@DamienD, well done that man!!
cheers

saimon69 · 30 July 2019, 17:19

For a moment i thought was talking at a remake of the ZX Spectrum Imagine game - another one that might need a remake by the way

@DamienD
Your first screenshot (Jumping Jack in the compilation)

it looks like a remake of c64 Jumpman Jr

when edit file: "by stalker/genesis yet another great convert from the marvelous c64 enjoy it......"

DamienD · 30 July 2019, 20:21

There a few other "Jumpman Junior" remakes on the Amiga:

... Jumpman Junior
... Jumpman Deluxe

Probably worth reading this thread though: Jumpman Junior - Problem.
