I was looking at AIM icons and I came across this. One of the comments in particular hurt my brain:

"NOT BAD BUT NEXT TIME MAKE HIM JUMPING OVER DIFFRENT STUFF NOT SOME GAY ROCK EVERY 2 SECONDS BUT NIVE JOB!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--------------------------------------------"

all star kid 454, you are my one argument for eugenics. Someone get me Khan Noonian Singh.

At first I only read his quote, so I though he was talking about an online game (is there a video game caled Jumpman?)

It would be cool if you could put a run of a video game as an AIM icon.

Why yes, there was a game called Jumpman for the Commodore 64:

And, here is a screen shot:

This is what I thought what Syd was talking about until I went to the link, and then realized that all those comment posters need be smashed with bricks.

Dumbass bitching about Mario only jumping over barrels, and the other guy talking about "Jumpman". The guy in my screenshots above is the original and true Jumpman.

Fucking kids....

That looks similar to the boxart for Lode Runner. This was a Lode Runner ripoff, probably...

Wish I could find my original copy, but I guess I have to settle for Tile World for now.

Hard to Say. Jumpman and Lode Runner both came out in 1983.

Though, I do know the Lode Runner stole a bunch a sprites from earlier titles like Choplifter.
