When did you first jump?

[MentalBakura]

It was probably in a game on my parents' ZX Spectrum. Rainbow Islands possibly? The first game I remember firmly in which I jumped was Tomb Raider for the PS1.

 

[ninjapenguin981]

Well no jumping in Pokemon Blue. So it'd have probably been playing Dynasy Warriors 3 at a friends house, or in a mario game I had.

 

[J474]

Ape Escape in 1999
Oh hells yeah

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

Super Mario Bros on the NES.

 

[Nightkind]

Ice Climber! It came with the original NES

This was also my first jump! First game I ever played and I played through quite a few levels with the controller upside down. I was 4 or 5. A lot of these replies kind of make me feel old.

 

[Mortars]

Pokemon Yellow... Please don´t hurt me!

 

[Burningsok]

aaahh my good old NES. When I was 5, I played Mario for the first time.

did lots of jumping

 

[funguy2121]

Mine isn't terribly original, I'm afraid.

Super. Mario. Brothers. 1987.

Where's that confounded cane?

 

[Raiha]

super mario bros. i believe i was 5. it blew my mind that pushing the button on the controller could make the little man on the screen do things.

 

[BakaSmurf]

Contra 3 for the SNES.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

1996, Super Mario Land on the original Game Boy. I was 2 years old.

 

[Vendayn]

Hmm, 1995 or so (give or take a year or two)...my Papa was actually the one who started me in gaming. My first games were Starsiege (which I played the most), Tribes and a racing game that the name escapes me. I played starsiege for hours every day...and my Papa was even more addicted

 

[Soxafloppin]

mario or sonic

Then mortal kombat, jump + Kick.

 

[FalloutJack]

Pitfall in the Atari.

I am that old...

Pitfall Harry-time? Yup, me too. Damn crocs.

 

[Jamienra]

Bubsy for the Sega Genesis. i dont remember when it was released but i played it around about 1996-7 (i was 3 or 4)

 

[Ekonk]

Mine was in Ratchet and Clank.


Ah, memories...

 

[RAWKSTAR]

1995ish? With this game that began with T...
Turrican? Something like that.

 

[Ophiuchus]

Reckon that'd be about 1987, when Treasure Island Dizzy was released for the Spectrum. There might've been something before that, but I was only 4 so I don't really remember. Skool Daze came out earlier but I didn't play it until later.

 

[CakeDragon]

Probably Sonic on the Sega Megadrive, sometime around '95 I'd say?

 

[gim73]

Final fantasy 2 on the SNES, where cid jumps off the airship and explodes...

Naw, if you really wanna get technical, I was playing frogger back in the day, and you hop across the road in that.
