Bomb Jack is a single screen Platform Game by Tecmo starring a caped superhero who travels around the world collecting bombs. It was originally released as an Arcade Game in 1984, when Tecmo was still known as Tehkan, and was ported to the SG-1000, Game Boy and various computers.Tecmo's first game developed for consoles was Mighty Bomb Jack for the NES (and Nintendo Vs. System), which drastically expanded on the original gameplay, and gave Jack new Mighty Powers to help him explore horizontal scrolling and vertical scrolling levels set inside a pyramid.Elite Systems Ltd, who brought Bomb Jack and later Mighty Bomb Jack to Western computers, also produced a sequel of their own, Bomb Jack II, for the Commodore64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum. This retained the single screen layout of the original game, but drastically altered the jumping mechanics.NMK, a company associated with Tecmo in the early 1990's, released the Arcade Game Bomb Jack Twin, which introduced a two- player cooperative mode.

Cartoon Bomb: All the bombs are of this type. They light up in sequence, but never explode.

Not the Intended Use

comment
Not the Intended Use: On the home-computer ports, using a joystick with an autofire switch allows Jack to move horizontally, making it much easier than intended to collect horizontal lines of bombs.

Jump Physics
 Bomb Jack (Video Game) / int_44f79734
comment
Jump Physics: Bomb Jack was one of the first Platform Games to give the player full air control, with controls allowing Jack to jump higher or not so high and fall slower or faster. Mighty Bomb Jack kept these jumping mechanics, but Bomb Jack II changed them completely: Jack can jump only to platforms that are directly above, below, or to the side.

Timed Mission: There's a timer counting down slowly from 60 on each level. A power-up can increase the timer, but trying to push it past 99 will deliver the greedy player to a torture chamber.
