            I grew up with one too, but I didn’t have that game.

            On the other hand, there was Jumpman…

              For quite literally years I couldn’t remember the name of that game so thank you! I use VICE these days as an emulator and one of my friends had that game but literally couldn’t remember the name.

                No problem. There was also Jumpman Jr., which was basically just the same game but with new levels.

                  I remember that too. So many memories… Curious as to whether you were an Amiga person too? I’ve found Commodore wasn’t very well known at all in the US but the UK, Australia and most of Europe it was super popular.

                    I had an Amiga 1000 and A590 hard drive after they were obsolete, but it was almost solely used for writing (probably terrible) music with OctaMed. A friend had an Amiga 500 and it was pretty cool. There was also, oddly, an Amiga dealer on the square in the Indiana town where we lived and we got to be friendly with them. I used to hang out in their store and play with the CD32. There was a pretty fun game called, I think, Psychopath, where you’re being chased by a serial killer.

                    I also had a friend when I was younger whose mother pirated pretty much every C64 game for him. It was amazing how many games he had. He eventually got tired of me coming over because I only wanted to play with all of his C64 games.
