Released in 1986 for DOS, Mighty Bomb Jack is an action platformer by Tecmo that tasks you with navigating treacherous rooms inside a giant pyramid. As Jack, you must jump your way past enemies to rescue the royal family from the demon Belzebut, relying on precise mid-air control rather than attacks to survive.

How to play

Your goal in each room is to collect all the bombs to open the exit. Since DOS lacked a standard controller, use the arrow keys to move Jack, and experiment with the Spacebar, Ctrl, or Alt keys to jump. Jack’s signature high jumps and slow descent are crucial for avoiding enemies; pressing up or down while jumping changes his vertical momentum.

Tips

Collect the lit bombs first. Each time you grab one, another bomb lights up; following this sequence rewards you with significant bonus points.
You can interrupt a jump or slow your descent by pressing the jump button again while in mid-air, allowing for tight maneuvering around hazards.
Look out for treasure chests and sphinxes. They hold valuable power-ups or transport you to secret areas necessary for reaching the best ending.
