Skippy's Jump

Post by GCHarder »

Here's a niffy, but hard, little game.

Unfortunately, there's a bug somewhere that I can't track down. It seems to play all right but it doesn't return to BASIC cleanly. If your lucky you'll get a C/20 message when you lose and can then type RUN to play again, if your unlucky you'll get a hard crash. I assume it's because the stack hasn't been properly restored. I've checked and rechecked the listing several time and can't find any errors. Maybe someone else can track down the problem. I've included the original scans. It's probably best played in an emulator till the bug is fixed, if ever, otherwise it could be pretty frustrating to replay.

I haven't cleared the screen of *'s so I don't know what happens after that.

BTW, Skippy is supposed to be a kangaroo if you can't tell.

As a super-duper bonus, at no extra charge, I've also thrown in a hectic little 1K game called Highway Robbery from SYNC Jan/Feb 1984. If it's too fast for you POKE 16690 with a higher value, it's set to 15 right now.

Regards;

Greg
