In 1991, "Jumpman Lives!", written by Dave Sharpless, was released by Apogee Software. In typical Apogee formula, the game consists of four "episodes", each with twelve levels—the first being free, the rest for sale. The game contains levels from "Jumpman" and "Jumpman Junior", and a number of new levels. The game also includes an editor. Apogee was forced to withdraw the game soon after release at the request of Epyx, who still owned the rights to "Jumpman" (they reverted to Randy Glover in 1993).
