Bomb Jack is a fast-paced action platformer developed by Tehkan and released for the Sega SG-1000 in 1984. As the leaping superhero Jack, you must clear single-screen stages by collecting every bomb while dodging waves of mechanical enemies. The game stands out for its unique movement physics, allowing you to launch high into the air and glide to avoid danger.
How to play
To complete a level, you must collect all the red bombs scattered across the screen. For maximum points, try to collect the bombs with lit fuses in sequence as they ignite.
- Move: Arrow Keys
- Jump: Z
- Start: Enter
While in the air, you can press jump again to stop your ascent, or hold up/down to adjust your falling speed and glide.
Tips
- Pay attention to the lit bomb fuses. Collecting lit bombs in order will earn you a massive point bonus and a “P” coin to turn enemies into points.
- Master the glide mechanic. Tapping jump while falling allows you to hover and wait for enemies to pass safely beneath you.
