Plot
Soldier One wakes up with a throbbing bump on the back of his head, finding himself in a mysterious base full of dangerous booby-traps and beasts. He notices dried blood on his right hand which appears not to be his own. He finds a note in his pocket which says "find the security code to the door to escape but beware of the beasts!"
Reception
The game was quite famous in Europe in the downing era of the Commodore 64; there was also a version also for the Commodore 128. The game was so popular that people applied nicknames: in England it was "Leaping Man", in Italy "L'Uomo Che Salta" (again the Jumping Man).
