Bomb Jack

released on Dec 31, 1984
by Tehkan

The player controls Jack, a superhero who can leap and glide. Someone has planted 24 bombs at famous tourist sites (the Sphinx and Great Pyramids, the Acropolis, Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, and two cityscapes resembling Miami Beach and Hollywood, which appear only as screen backgrounds rather than unique game locations). Jack must fly around the screen to collect the bombs. Each screen uses a different configuration of platforms upon which Jack may run and jump. Eventually, the levels reoccur a number of times with increasing difficulty.

Jumping around to collect the bombs while avoiding the enemies is simple but satisfying. The level design and backgrounds are pretty lazy though.

Jumping is honestly pretty fun in this game which is surprising for the 80s but man does the level get overrun by enemies way too quick. Song is catchy too but the P power-up destroys my ears every time it appears

It's a game of ups and downs which is fitting for Bomb Jack.

Ni siquiera recuerdo en qué plataforma lo jugué.
