Yomp was an action video game for the ZX Spectrum published by Virgin Games in 1983.[1] The name of the game comes from the military slang "yomp", made popular by the Falklands War. The game was basically a Frogger clone; the player had to guide a paratrooper[2] across a road of speeding army trucks and then across a minefield.[1]
