Mighty Bomb Jack is one of those NES games that is famous enough, but not quite as famous as the usual NES line up that people think of, and frankly I'm glad I have been able to play it now. While I think that without modern mechanics and save stating my time with Mighty Bomb Jack would have been far more aggravating, it was nice to see the level of challenge and depth I would have had to face in my younger days. This game has a neat gameplay mechanic in the fact that you jump super high, but are able to stop yourself with the "A" button and sorta of glide if you mash it. While inherently a platformer, the fact that their isn't a way to properly get rid of enemies aside from a power up and the way you jump around, makes this feel more like a bullet hell at times. In a lot of ways, the fun of the game was figuring out how to skirt around enemies and getting as much as you can while you do, with the reward factor being more points, and the risk of dying very very easily. If you are looking for something Nintendo Hard, Mighty Bomb Jack is exactly the kinda of go to game for that.
