Bombjack

How to fumble an arcade conversion on the #C64. I do not know the history of why this is such a piss poor effort, but, having just played it, as a game, it is totally fine - IF YOU LIKE Bombjack! Otherwise, it is a lameo attempt of bringing an iconic arcade game home to the 64.

Truly beautiful gfx, chipper AY bleepy and bloopy rendition , and plays super smoothly. It's absolutely mint.
And soz for the background sfx, all my msx joysticks squeek like drowning rats 🐭

Simple controls but the gameplay is anything but simple, just like the original Bomb Jack

“Some of the backgrounds are really excellent, and a good bit of strategy is needed to get past the first few rounds with maximum points. Bombjack is one of the best arcade conversions I’ve seen on the Spectrum for a long time. Get it!”

This week's Arcade Archives title is 1993 action game BombJack Twin

ACA1+2 across all systems & PSN should get last week's Touchdown Fever too, as it was MIA for reasons unknown. I know which one I'll be picking up💣💣

Mighty Bombjack

Today, we have MBJ because I found a scan of the #CommodoreFormat "Preview" and it listed its top 20 #C64 games. This was on it. Oh-ho, hold on a bloody minute, I said - and booted it up. I was right. It's friggin' twonk this is. That awful SID "tune". Garbage. #Elite

Bombjack
Tehkan. 1984. Introduction Few arcade games capture that instant pull of excitement like Bombjack. Released by Tehkan in 1984, it’s a platformer that’s simple to grasp but devilishly tricky to mast…

Released #bombjack for #pico8 last week. Getting some good comments so far!

Still no animated gifs on bluesky? Guess this will have to do then.

Well, this is a bit... Interesting. A #C64 arcade platformer where you play a perpetually bouncing ball and have to squash enemies in order, similar to Bombjack. It's just... Well. It's just not very good, is it? I mean, sure - it plays well & looks okay but... ARGH!

Imagine trying to explain to a modern gamer that Dark Souls is nothing but these are three of the hardest games to have ever existed🤔

NMK players knows that like women, the cuter they are the more dangerous they will be. Do not be deceived 😉

This is how a loading screen should look. Lazy, lazy, lazy Elite BITD...

47% score here, which is Zzap! sayinbg that the C64 conversion of BJ is a load of old pish. You'd have hated receiving this review if you were Elite.
