This is a really enjoyable game that will keep you coming back for more! it will make you laugh and it will frustrate you to the point of throwing the controller across the room so be warned!<\/p>\n
Bomb Jack was released in the arcades in 1984 by Tehkan and a year or so later by Elite for a selection of home computers.<\/p>\n
The aim of the game is to guide Jack around the screen collecting all the red bombs to finish the level. \u00a0There’s a bonus meter at the top of the screen with a flashing box around it, this box will expand the more bombs you collect,\u00a0x5 being the max (arcade version).<\/p>\n
The commodore 64’s is at the bottom of the screen and the Spectrum version doesn’t have any bonus, just has an high score. \u00a0Once you collect your first bomb, another will ignite, collecting these in order will make the game far more difficult but the bonus meter will increase even more.<\/p>\n
When the meter is full, the sound will change and a rotating ‘P’ will appear, spinning round the screen, if collected, any enemies on the screen at that time will turn into coins that can be collected for more points. This is when you turn into a joypad freak, blasting round the screen before the coins turn back!<\/p>\n
