SLACKERJACK - Base Jumping
Then buzz it up

There was once a game for the Amiga CD32 called Base Jumpers, and it was one of the best games we've ever played. You had to race up a building and then jump off to see who could land first.
Today's Slackerjack is Base Jumping, and it's the closest thing to Base Jumpers that we've ever found. Base Jumping is basically a game of chicken. You play a blob, up against three other base jumping blobs. You have to leap off your platform and unfurl your parachute as late as possible in order to become the first base jumper to reach the ground. Open your parachute too early, and you'll float to the ground ages after everyone else, open it too late and you'll squish into the ground. Base Jumping is ace - the game Base Jumping, that is, not the activity. That's a bit crap.
