Sounds like 16K bankswitching to me :-)
Wow, with only three different stages, you could spend a whole 4K for an
intro!

If anybody on the list will attempt to not do a clone, but a port of
Jumpman, I'd be glad to host that project on my Epyx Shrine. 

Same goes for any port of an Epyx game to the VCS. If you haven't
visited the shrine lately, check out the latest updates, it now already
features Fire One, Silicon Warrior & Sword Of Fargoal and soon Crush,
Crumble & Chomp. I think they all could possibly be ported to the VCS,
so check them out if you're desperately seeking a new game idea. The
