Title
It's a very rudimentary action platformer, and it's very easy: Not a lot of threats are after you and your purpose is to go as far as you can and rack up points. As you practice jumping over logs, gators, lakes, you eventually get used to it so the game exceeds its welcome after 10 minutes.

The Atari 2600 release is the definitive one. Somehow the C64 port has tougher response times I can't quite put into words.

The Atari 5200 port is completely identical to the 2600 save for improved and more colourful graphics. It's a welcome substitute to the 2600 version.
