TEST MODE:

Bugs:
  • Low pass filtering on engine and explosion sounds is not emulated in MAME. Sune_S (ID 01059)
WIP:
  • 0.126u2: Fabio Priuli added DIP locations to clone Bump 'n' Jump.
  • 0.112u1: Canim fixed visible area to 240x256 in Bump 'n' Jump according to the arcade picture.
  • 0.106u3: Added plds ($0, 30 - pal10l8.10k, pal16r4a.2d) to clone Car Action.

- TRIVIA -

This game is known in the US as "Bump 'n' Jump" (licensed to Bally Midway for US manufacture and distribution).

A bootleg of this game is known as "Car Action".

Marco Donadio holds the official record for this game with 2,429,540 points on October 5, 1984.

- SCORING -

Destroying a car : 200, 300 or 500 points, depending on car.
End of stage bonus : 200 + 100 points/level x number of cars destroyed.
Special Bonus : 50,000 points for destroying no cars.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -

* Bonus Points : if you make it through an entire board without smashing any cars, you'll get a 50,000 point bonus.

* You can jump off the edge of the screen and land on the other side. Use this tactic to escape from a tight spot, but only when the track is widest.

* Try not to get caught between three cars, as when you bump one into a wall, chances are the impact will bounce you back into the wall.
