Last night was time for another XNA Pizza Night event at Microsoft Portugal (Tagus Park). Once again ZPX presented a “new” game. “New” between quotes because the original game is from 1983, the game was older than 90-95% of the people in the audience. The game is none other than Jumping Jack for ZX Spectrum.

Full credit for this new version goes to Ricardo Sabino and as explained on his personal blog, Jumping Jack has very special meaning to him. Also enjoy the compilation of great fun facts about the game itself and the development process. Did you know that the classic version ran in less than 16k of memory and the actual version for WP7 takes about 10-16 MB, more than 1000 times larger than the original version?
