Action & Bumping Games is a collection of video games published by Creative Computing in 1981.
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]
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]
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]
