Yet another excellent Data East arcade adaptation for the Intellivision.

Graphics: 5 Sound: 5 Replay Value: 4 Notes: 1- or 2-player game; developed by a couple of PlayCable hackers Screen Shots

This is one of the best games for the Intellivision! Unfortunately, Mattel didn't really start getting arcade licenses of any kind until just barely before the crash. Bump 'n' Jump was an outstanding adaptation. The sound is very well done, as are the graphics. Gameplay seems dead-on, and the colors and movement are superior. According to the official site, this game was developed by a couple of hackers who had figured out how to use their PlayCable unit, along with a PC, to make an Inty development machine!

A total of five Bump 'n' Jump box variants have been documented.

Bump 'n' Jump was one of the first (and last) games from Mattel to credit people who worked on the game right on the box. Interestingly, according to the official site, the main developers, who were not Mattel employees, are not credited. Only the title screen artist and some other Mattel folks are credited. Seems there were some rules about who was allowed to be listed...

In addition to the credits and UPC being removed from the back of the box, the two box variants by INTV for Bump 'n' Jump vary not only in the presence of the FOR 1 OR 2 PLAYERS text on the front of the box, but also by what's displayed on the bottom flap of the box. The FOR 1 OR 2 PLAYERS version has the UPC symbol on the bottom flap, while the other does not.

BSRSteve, Hankster and others have noted that there are also different types of cardboard used in some versions of these boxes. At least two variations of materials have been noted: a smoother, brighter interior vs. a more tan-colored, somewhat rougher stock in others. This site does not document box variations due to different materials used in manufacturing of the box. If a correlation between the materials used and some other substantive change in external appearance appears to exist, it may be noted.

A total of six Bump 'n' Jump manual variants have been documented.

	The title screen was quite an impressive animated one, for a Mattel game.
	Speeding down the raceway through the various seasons was presented quite well.

Well, it's not really an Easter egg, but more of a bug with potentially good side-effects. When jumping, if you can position your car in just the right way, you land on a "secret" road. If you can manage getting back to the right place by the end of the season, you could exploit this to get the 50,000 point bonus. Full details are at The Digital Press.
