Jump'n'Bump clone?

[Be3f]

Jump'n'Bump is an old and very simple (but very fun!) 2D game for DOS for 2-4 players on a single PC. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on PSP-DosBox (crashes with the BUS Error) :( On this screenshot the game runs on my PC under DOSBox v0.70:

I'm not sure, if the source code if avaluable, but how about making a clone of this game? It seems to be not too difficult: only one game screen, simple game mechanics/animations... it can be done in LUA (but better in C of course).

It would be awesome, if such game for PSP will suppot Ad-Hock/Infrastructure multiplayer for 2-4 players + 2 player mp on single PSP (only 3 buttons are required for each player!) + sp against bots... :rolleyes:

I've played only one PSP homebrew game like this: Super Mario War, but it's not perfect and i like rabbits deathmatch in Jump'n'Bump much more then marios kicking each other in SMW!

Also a good idea for such game are customisable player skins/game screen and something like a "level" editor... :rolleyes:

Am I really the onlyone, who would like to play this fun game on PSP? :confused:

Some addition info:


Cute little bunnies are out on a gore game of deathmatch. This is a multiplayer only (2 to 4 players,) game for the Playstation 2.

Originally developed by Brainchild Design (BCD) in 1998, it has been made freeware and the sources were published in 1999. Lunatics on the internet made this piece available for any thinkable platform, and now for your PS2.

Dott, Jiffy, Fizz, and Mijji are out for blood! Your blood!
