Game description:

An unofficial port of the arcade version.

A skill game where each player launches a parachutist out of a plane, opens the parachute, and controls the parachutist's descent. Points are awarded by successfully landing the parachutist on one of three platforms.

The aircraft that the parachutist jumps out of flys from right to left across the top of the screen, at a random height. A number of helicopters fly about at random. If the parachutist hits a helicopter or misses a scoring platform, he falls into the sea. Depending on which platform is landed upon, the player can score 10, 20 or even 50 points. The scoring platforms are located on respectively three mountain cliffs, a tower, a base and an island. Unlike the arcade version, where the player can set up the number of jumps (which exceed 3 jumps), this version is limited to three jumps only.
