Bomb Jack is a 1984 platform video game developed and published by Tehkan for arcades. It was released by Kitkorp in North America as its first arcade game. It was later ported to home systems and home computers. A commercial success, it was followed by several sequels: the console and computer game Mighty Bomb Jack, the arcade game Bomb Jack Twin, and Bomb Jack II, the last of which was licensed for home computers only.

Controls

This is a PC game: it uses the keyboard the way it did under MS-DOS, and the mouse where the game supports it. Click the game screen first so it gets your key presses.

Many DOS games start with a menu or ask a question first — read the screen and answer with the keyboard. Arrow keys, Enter, Space, Ctrl and Alt are the usual game keys.
