A game I actually liked in this Data East collection was Bump ‘n’ Jump (called Burnin’ Rubber as it was named in Japan). As I played it, I kept thinking it was like a 8-bit Burnout. Criterion made a similar game with Burnout CRASH which has the same top-down view, but it was only crash junctions and no racing. Anyway, in Bump ‘n’ Jump, you have a top-down view of a vertically scrolling track and you race along with many A.I. cars and try and wreck them by bumping or jumping on them. Different cars have different susceptibilities to being bumped so you have to pick your moments carefully. Lots of times you’ll bump a car and the bounce-back will throw you off the road. Some A.I. cars are bigger than others or have greater resistance to being bumped. You also have to jump obstacles and avoid getting bumped yourself. The game gets harder as the tracks contract and there’s less room to maneuver. I found the game really fun and couldn’t stop playing it. This game is surprisingly similar to Spy Hunter the more I think about it. Bally Midway published Bump ‘n’ Jump in 1982 and they must've took Data East’s idea and expanded upon it for Spy Hunter, which Bally Midway developed in-house a year later.
There are ports for this game on NES, Atari and Intellivision, but it looks like this Data East Collection is the only place you can get the full arcade version (other than MAME on PC). The high score for this game is over 3 million. Mine is 13K. I’ll have to do better next time.
The NES version here at the end of the video is clearly the best port.
I never liked Bump N Jump that much but that's probably because I was never very good at it. My favorite retro top-down racer is Spy Hunter.
Can't wait to see what other Data East games you liked.
I'm not good at it either and Spy Hunter is one of my all-time favorite games. I wish I had the cabinet for it. It's plays best that way.
I only played the arcade version on Bump 'N Jump. It's a nice game.
Action Fighter is another game like Spy Hunter. It's a hard game, but I enjoyed it more than Spy Hunter. Bump 'N Jump is still more fun. I like the jumping. 
Action Fighter looks pretty cool. I'm putting it on my wishlist.
The Sega Master System version. I don't see the arcade version included in any collections as of yet. I guess there's always MAME though.
I have never played Bump N Jump but it sounds slightly obscene. :D
Then you'll love this review of the NES version I watched.
Ok ... take off safe search, type in Frogger vs. Bump and Jump ...
Safe search is always off, but I don't see anything strange. I think I'm happy about that.
I didn't actually conduct the search, I was just making a joke about two euphemistic sounding titles. Bump n' Jump looks fun and I think the NES port honestly looks and sounds better than the arcade version, and I like the Spy Hunter and Burnout series as well.
And I was imagining... I don't know what. But it wasn't good.
THIS. GAME. RULES.
I'm put the NES version on my wishlist. It has more screens to play I think.
I don't think I've ever played this game, but it looks fun...and gives off a Spy Hunter Vibe.
It totally feels like Spy Hunter except for the jumping and lack of weapons.
Don't think I ever played this game, looks fun.
i don't know why they named it Burnin' Rubber in Japan. Bump 'n" Jump describes exactly what you do in the game.
and here I thought I was old skool enough to remember games like these. I guess I didn't frequent enough arcades to find a game like this back in the day.
I've never played this in the arcade, I don't think. May have run across it once though.
