Jumping Barnabe is a platform game, originally from the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Instructions: 

Barnabe must retreive the great poem of his family 'THE BALLAD OF JUMPING BARNABE',
which is lost in lots of locations. Using the D-pad and A button, the idea is to
reach the top of the both screens. Each screen consists of 8 floors, and Barnabe has
to jump throught the (moving) holes in these floors to progress. If Barnabe falls
down one of these holes, he is momentarily stunned, and loses a life if he falls
through the bottom floor. Things are made more difficult on later levels with the
addition of nasties that walk along the floors, and also need avoiding. The number
of nasties present depends on the level Barnabe is on.

After each level is completed, a line from the lost poem is revealed. The game
consists of 20 levels, which revealed one line of the poem each time and five
differents worlds with differents nasties too.

How to play :

START        : Pause and play level
A            : Jump
LEFT & RIGHT : Well, move left and right ;-)

Seems to work fine.  The controls are rather stiff, but if it's a faithful port, what can you do?  I'm amazed that a game with such nice art in the title screen and such looks so bland in game though.
