Description: This game does NOT exist. Just days before the press deadline, we figured out why collectors once believed it existed. The actual "Jump Bug" game includes the name of the game on the screen. Next to that is first a level number, and then a screen number. It appears that a faked screenshot which appeared in many French magazines in July 1983 had just the name then the level number. This made it look like "Jump Bug 2" was shown on the screen. If you just plug in the normal "Jump Bug" cart and simply press the "Select" button on the console, you will see the game has a built-in demo that run as long as you will let it. It will count all the way from level "1" through "9" and then start using letters when the levels rise above 9. If nothing else, this faked screenshot tends to pinpoint a rough date (April 1983) when the game "Jump Bug" was in progress, but before it had actually been completed (I am subtracting three months to account for magazine lead times)
