Bomb Jack


Recommended Posts

Fun odd little game.

don't think I'll wreck my weekend attempting how to even come within a stones throw of that 400k. yikes.

Yung-Jedi 69,900

Yeah that's a tough one to get even close too. I was a demon at this game as a kid - it's why i chose it! But 25 years, and a few trillion spent brain cells later i can't do it for shizz lol

2nd on your first submission though is still impressive :)

ExedExes' hi-score is indeed quite amazing. Nice second place score though ;)

Hello,

Here is my first attempt to play with this leaderboard, kindly invited by GimmeClassics today.

I have chosen Bombjack as I was not so bad years ago.

Even if I was able to do much better in the good old days, here is my current record:

  • [settings] rom: Bomb Jack (set 1), Coin A: 1 Coin/1 Credit, Coin B: 1 Coin/1 Credit, Lives: 3, Cabinet: Upright, Demo Sounds: On, Bonus Life: None, Bird Speed: Hard, Enemy Number & Speed: Hard, Special Coin: Easy, Special Rules: no continue
  • [score] 142460
  • [name] GreatStone (GTN)
  • [Mame] v0.148, compiled with hiscore.dat and nonag
  • [Gameplay style] trying to get all bombs in the right order each round, to get the 50k bonus

Regards.

Welcome to the comp :)

Great 1st submission! Maybe you'll be the first to give Ex something to worry about, he's held this board untouched from the start.

It's a bit harder now but I should have a margin up to 360k. Reaching 400k will need a lot more gameplay tips/optimizations to learn and practise for sure!

This score's a little better than what I usually get.

ExedExes - 401,300

Greatstone is the only guy in the vicinity of ExedExes.

Quite a battle.

Hehe. Well, I saw an intricate post made by the new guy earlier in this thread. I discovered at the end of the post that he put a final segment stating the main game objective. There I learned that you get sick bonuses for lit bombs.😲

Just going around grabbing bombs and coins and whatever goodies are available will take a long game to mount any kind of score. So my new strategy is to try for all lit bombs possible.😊

You've gotta love those 50k bonuses! It really "jacks" the scores up, get it?

344,470

It also "jacks" up my position by one notch.

Wow MO, you really are a "Jack of all trades" :)

Adding more than 100K to your best score. Amazing job and you're getting pretty close to Ex's top score of 401K B)
