Claim Jumper is a video game written by Gray Chang for Atari 8-bit computers and published by Synapse Software in 1982.[2] It is primarily designed as a two-player competitive game, but includes a separate shoot 'em up mode for either one or two players.[3]
Claim Jumper is a game in which the player is a cowboy collecting gold bars.[4]
Development
Gray Chang previously wrote the two-player competitive game Dog Daze for the Atari Program Exchange. After Claim Jumper, he designed two more games for two simultaneous players: Dog Daze Deluxe and Bumpomov's Dogs.
Chang kept a notebook while writing Claim Jumper which contains nearly 200 pages of code, flowcharts, technical details, and graph paper sketches of the game art.[5]
