ANDERSON The main claim to fame of George Chang's Claim Jumper is that it is in the small but precious category of simultaneous two-player games. Instead of multiplayer modes wherein players take turns, both players share the Claim Jumper screen together. In fact, they are each other's worst enemies--doing whatever is feasible to stop an opponent's progress. SOFTWARE PROFILE Name: Claim Jumper Type: Arcade game System: Atari 400/800/1200 16K Format: Cartridge Language: Machine Summary: A excellent simultaneous two-player effort Price: $29.95 Manufacturer: Synapse The goal here is gold, and the Old West is getting rather crowded. You must avoid all manner of obstacles while picking up nuggets, ferrying them to the assayer's office, and then lugging your gains to the safety of the bank. Your tools in this task are your trusty sixshooter, and a bizarre brand of seeds you may sew to liquidate pesky hangers-on. Enough dough in the bank secures a house (shades of Monopoly) and edges you closer to success. The first player to acquire 25,000 points is declared the winner. Claim Jumper has a humorous mood about it, the graphics are crisp and stylish, and the pace is frenetic. Chances are you and your opponent will both be laughing by the middle of any game, even as the competition heats up. If you are hit you end up in Boot Hill, and though you can be reincarnated endlessly, death wastes a lot of time. It also results in the dropping of any goods in your possession, to your opponent's immediate advantage. Depending on the level of aggression you choose to mete out to your opponent, you can either go about your prospecting business or blast the other guy just as he reaches the assayer, take his nugget, and keep it for yourself. Needless to say, he may choose to reciprocate with his own poor behavior. The kids are bound to have a lot of fun with Claim Jumper, as it balances the right amounts of whimsy and competition. Although there is a solitaire version, it is of much less play value than the standard two-player game. The real fun comes when you are on the playfield with a human opponent.
