Ah, Moon Patrol! One of my favorites from the ol' TI-99/4A computer. I can still hear the rhythmic background music!

I think that might be the version the Apple IIe got, as well. I seem to remember leaping onto a ridiculously thin patch of land in the middle of a huge pit, and having to leap again immediately. And there were dynamite areas where I just held down the jump button and hoped I had approached the start of the bunch at the right speed. It was a slight bit tougher--and cheaper, really--than anything in the arcade version that is reproduced for Switch.
