PLATFORM JACK
by John Silvera
from ZX Computing Apr/May.1985

A three screen platform game from Minehead's jumpin' John Silvera!


Up and down, up and down, what a job! and I don't even get
danger money. The problem is that I have to work out the
order in which to make my rounds otherwise I lose my pay
bonus - or even my life.

All I can really say is "HELP!!!"

Although this program is written entirely in BASIC, it
incorporates some clever graphic routines, imaginative
sounds and a nice starting tune.

All instructions for play are shown when the program is run.
You will find that in places you cannot jump, but do not
worry, there is always a route for you to follow.

On each set there is only one main route so watch where you
are going.
