Bump n' Jump (NES Game)

Bump n' Jump was a fairly old arcade title when it showed up on the NES. It had already been ported on the Atari 2600, Intellivision, and Commodore 64 before it showed up in Nintendo form. That being the case, this is still one of the best versions of Bump n' Jump if not the best (did you say it "thee best" in your head? Good).

Bump n' Jump is a simple driving game. You make your way along the road trying not to get bumped into a wall by the other drivers. You can bump them into a wall, or even jump and smash them from above. It's very satisfying to destroy enemy cars. In the beginning of the game, you'll see a car drive off as someone screams, "Help me!" One can only assume, as it is with oh so many other classic games, that your girl has been kidnapped. As you make your way along the many highways and byways (say it like Jimmy Pardo) you'll eventually come to the car that took your girl. Pounce on it a bunch of times and you'll set your little lady free. The end.

As a fairly simple game, I can't rate Bump n' Jump too highly, especially when you consider the fact that it's a late title in the NES library. It is a fun game, and I enjoyed playing. I feel comfortable giving it...
