What if the original Jumpman from 1983 wasn’t just pixels on a screen? What if the classic 8-bit story came to life in full cinematic glory? This short is my tribute to the original narrative straight from the back of the Jumpman box. No rewrites, no reboots—this is the authentic story as it was told by Epyx and Randy Glover.

The enemy has infiltrated Jupiter Headquarters! Alienators have sabotaged all systems, planting bombs across 30 perilous levels. Jupiter #1 is on the brink of collapse, and it’s up to Jumpman to save it. With deadly traps, disappearing platforms, and relentless enemies, Jumpman faces his greatest challenge yet.

This short brings the story to life with modern cinematic action while honoring the legacy of the original game. If you grew up with the Commodore 64 or love classic gaming, this one’s for you.

Based on the story directly from the back of the original 1983 Jumpman box.
