====== Jumpman ======
//Status: I could not figure out how to play this on my MacBook Pro with Chrome 2020/8/15//


OMG. This was one of my favorite games back in the day. 

Apparently it can be played for free in some kind web based simulator here: https://archive.org/details/Jumpman_1983_Epyx_US.  I havent figured out the proper keys for it. 

The manual for the original game is here: https://archive.org/details/agm_jumpman

Here is an article about the internet arcade at the internet archive: https://help.archive.org/hc/en-us/articles/360004715631-The-Internet-Arcade
  * MESS/MAME is pure javascript and runs in most browsers and emulates 100's of computer systems
  * It doesn't tell what keys to use the keyboard
  * This might be default keys in MAME programs: https://docs.mamedev.org/usingmame/defaultkeys.html
    * Apparently I need to use function keys, and I cant figure out how to get to those on my MacBook pro with the LCD keys strip. OK have to hold the FN key. F3 key does not seem to be resetting the emulator like instructions say
