- 20th April 2008: David Haywood - There is already a game in MAME called 'Jumping Pop', that one is a Korean hack of Tumble Pop by ESD, so when a user going by the name of 'Wavesolder' on the MAMEworld.info forums posted that he had a *different* game called Jumping Pop, this one by NICs it sparked my interest. From his initial screenshot it looked like they were using a Taito font in the game, and from the 2nd screenshot he then sent me it became quite clear that this game was based on Taito's Plump Pop. Like most of these Korean hacks/bootlegs they've changed all the graphics, all the sounds, rewritten parts to work with different hardware, but still used the original game code as a basis of it all. I spent a while hooking it up in MAME, and while there are still a few things that aren't perfect (mainly colours, it uses Palette RAM instead of PROMs and I think I've got the decode wrong) I thought these side-by-side shots would be interesting. Left: Taito's Plump Pop - Right: NICS' Jumping Pop. Pretty clear isn't it? Big thanks to Wavesolder / Robin Cooper for finding this one. I'll try and resolve the remaining issues, but they're proving to be rather annoying so far.
