Contents

Action & Bumping Games is a package of six games for the Apple II, including Bumper Blocks, Obstacle Course, Hustle Jr., Cycle Jump, Mine Rover, and Road Machine.[1][2] Three of these games were considered Hi-Res action games, and the other three are Lo-Res bumping games.[2] Each of these games involves eye-hand coordination, and feature many difficulty levels.[1]

Development

Bumper Blocks and Obstacle Course were programmed by David Lubar.[3][4]

Mine Rover is an early precursor to Minesweeper.[5] Mine Rover and Road Machine were released in a 1981 compilation called Action Games with another game called Cycle Jump.[6]

Reception

Forrest Johnson reviewed Action & Bumping Games in The Space Gamer No. 41.[1] Johnson commented that "It is hard to find anything to criticize about this package. The worst I can say is, some of these games are highly addictive. God knows why we play these things - but if you enjoy arcade games, you will like these."[1]

The Book Of Apple Computer Software 1982 said that "Overall, the game package is average in quality but nonetheless a good buy for a beginning game collector."[2]
