Trampoline

About

Trampoline, made by Exidy in 1978, is a fast-paced arcade game where players guide a bouncing character to catch falling targets. The goal is to land safely on the trampoline while avoiding contact with the ground. It plays like a physics puzzle with tight controls and quick reflexes, offering simple mechanics that test your timing. The game was published by Taito in Japan, appearing in both upright and tabletop arcade machines. The game began life as Trapeze, but only a single prototype exists, and it never launched in North America. The version that became Trampoline found popularity in Japan, shifting focus from trapeze routines to trampoline-based gameplay. Its development history and rarity make it a notable piece of arcade history. The original Trapeze hardware is nearly impossible to find while Trampoline cabinets, though uncommon, remain more accessible to collectors.
