About Jacky Bomb:
In 1984 Tehkan released an arcade game called Bomb Jack. The game spawned a couple of arcade sequels and a lot of various console conversions. It was a colourful action game where you had to collect all the bombs to complete a level. To make it harder, the game was filled with foes that will do what they can to stop Bomb Jack's progress.

This remake of Bomb Jack, Jacky Bomb, was made in 2002 by Being The Game. The game was created specifically for the PKade (the late Planet Klik's arcade). The game then hibernated for a couple of years until Being The Game was so kind to respond to the suggestion from TechVision that a re-launch of the game would be a great idea. Therefore Being The Game has given TechVision the opportunity to edit the game and create a new online version, and for the first time, this download version of the game.

How to play
Jacky Bomb expands the game play introduced by Tehkan in 1984. In this game you not only have to collect the bombs. The game is in two phases. After all the bombs have been collected you need to dispose of the enemies. This adds an extra element of strategy and creates some hectic situations as you struggle to gain as many points from collecting the bombs, while also wanting enough time to get rid of the enemies. Get ready for some challenging fun!
