When did you first jump?

[Godlikebuthumble]

Oh god... I seriously don't remember whether Karate Fighter on C64 even had a jump move, but I certainly didn't use it.
Other than that, the first VG jump I really know of was in the old NES Castlevania (don't ask me which one), about '88/'89-ish, me being seven or eight. Some kind of family party at a friend's, and she (yay girl gamers) had Mario Golf, Castlevania and frickin' Ice Climbers! I was soooooooo close to peeing in my pants, rather than leave that marvellous toy alone...

Kids today... likely Donkey Kong, in an arcade.... so, sometime in the early 80s.

Ummm, I think it was the addams family game on a commodore 64 in '94, or something like that

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

Probably Mario on the NES. Boing!

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I do believe it was Crash Bandicoot 2. Could be wrong, though.

Real old school. Alex Kidd in Miracle world on the Master System

Donkey Kong Jr. on the Coleco back in the 80s. I can't recall any arcade games that I jumped in back then. There must have been some though.

can never remember probably Sonic

 

[Steppin Razor]

Either the second Sonic game or a dos-based Prince of Persia game. I can't remember which one was first or even if it was an actual Prince of Persia game. Just about the only thing I can remember is that you started without a weapon and if you headed to the right at the start you got stuck in a fight, which if you didn't go and get the sword first would result in game over 5 seconds into the game.
