This was a Hunchback type game for the BBC Microcomputer and Acorn Electron. It was originally written by Gary Partis to experiment with 'sideways scrolling' using the 6845 CRTC chip, but became a commercial product and was published by Icon. The variation was that instead of a huncback it was a Chinaman on a pogo stick. It was originally called 'Pogo' until a publisher took the game onboard.
