The 'Officially Licenced' mobile phone game version of the 80's
smash-hit coin-operated arcade game from Elite / Tecmo.
First
launched in 1984 as a Tehkan (now Tecmo) arcade game, Bombjack was
ported to home computer formats by Elite and sold 300,000 in Europe
throughout the 80s and early 90s
Now
Elite, brings this classic game to your mobile...
In this colourful single-player jump
n run retro classic you play a caped crusader
Jack. Your aim is to collect the bombs in the correct order
and maximise the bonuses without getting caught.
Whilst jumping-up and floating down you can steer Jack toward bombs
and bonuses and away from the enemy hoards. You can also invoke
Jacks hover mode which enables him to traverse the screen
whilst descending much more slowly. The longer you take to clear
the screen the more aggressive the enemy characters become.
There
are five backdrops and a multiplicity of platform and bomb configurations.
Collecting 20 or more ignited bombs gives a bonus after the levels
cleared. Collecting (P) coins disables the enemies. Collecting (B)
coins increases the score multiplier.
