==Legacy== In 1998, Randy Glover became aware of the many fans of ''Jumpman'' and started working on ''Jumpman II'', keeping a development diary at the now defunct jumpman2.com site. The last recorded diary entry was made in 2001.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://jlounge.classicgaming.gamespy.com/oldnews.html |title=OLD NEWS| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071220212208/http://jlounge.classicgaming.gamespy.com/oldnews.html |archive-date=20 December 2007 |access-date=23 September 2012}}</ref> In 2008, the original ''Jumpman'' was released on the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Jumpman |website=Nintendo UK |url=https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Virtual-Console-Wii-/Jumpman--277699.html}}</ref> In 2014, Midnight Ryder Technologies shipped ''Jumpman Forever''<ref>[http://www.bizjournals.com/wichita/blog/techflash/2014/05/kickstarter-backed-jumpman-forever-ships-this-week.html Kickstarter-based Jumpman Forever Ships This Week] on Wichita Business Journal website</ref> for the OUYA micro-console, with planned releases for PC, Mac, iOS, and Android platforms. Originally titled ''Jumpman: 2049'', the game is considered to be an official sequel based on rights given to Midnight Ryder Technologies <ref>[http://www.jumpmanforever.com/the-history-of-jumpman-and-jumpman-forever/ The History of Jumpman (and Jumpman Forever)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140520003337/http://www.jumpmanforever.com/the-history-of-jumpman-and-jumpman-forever/ |date=2014-05-20 }} On JumpmanForever.com</ref> back in 2000 by Randy Glover. In 2018 ''Jumpman'' was re-released on [[Commodore_64#THEC64 and THEC64 Mini|THEC64 Mini]] as one of the 64 built in games. A game called ''Jumpman 2'' was also on the machine, but in reality is just ''Jumpman Junior'' rebranded. === Unofficial ports and fan remakes === In 1991, ''[[Jumpman Lives!]]'' was released by [[3D Realms|Apogee Software]]. The game consists of four "episodes", each with twelve levels: the first is free, the rest for sale. The game contains levels from ''Jumpman'' and ''Jumpman Junior'', new levels, and a level editor. Apogee withdrew the game soon after release at the request of Epyx, who owned the rights to ''Jumpman'' at the time.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://jlounge.classicgaming.gamespy.com/dsinterview2.html |title=DAVE SHARPLESS INTERVIEW |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071210231850/http://jlounge.classicgaming.gamespy.com/dsinterview2.html |archive-date=10 December 2007 |access-date=3 June 2007}}</ref> In 1994, an unofficial MS-DOS port of ''Jumpman'', missing the level "Freeze", was released by Ingenieurbüro Franke.<ref>[http://www.icfs.de/english/jumpman.html Classic Jumpman<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> An updated version which included Freeze was released in 2001.
