Bomb Jack Extra Sugar – This Arcade classic as an Amstrad CPC remake via Anthony Flack looks super impressive!
I can still remember in the late 80’s on my Amstrad CPC 464 playing the brilliant Arcade port ‘ Bomb Jack ‘. It is a game that required you the player to high jump and float about getting rid of all the bombs on the screen before they are used to blow up historic places of interest, which is made more difficult by the enemies on screen. So why is this game getting another mention? Well we’ve just been contacted by Xyphoe via Twitter, that this great game from back in the day, is now available as a fully fledged Arcade to Amstrad CPC remake by Anthony Flack.
Although I feel there is nothing wrong with the Amstrad CPC version, from what we can tell about the remake however is. Not only does it have an original Arcade title screen, but improved animations, Arcade like enemy sprites including the main character, level graphics more in line with the Arcade version, and so so much more to make this a rather cool remake that’s well worth loading up right now on your Amstrad!
