Bomb Jack Extra Sugar
A downloadable game
An all-new port of the famous arcade game for the Amstrad CPC range of 8 bit computers. Works on any CPC with a disk drive or mass storage device and at least 128k of memory, or with the emulator of your choice, such as ACE-DL, Retro Virtual Machine or WinApe.
Featuring:
- Faithful recreation of the arcade game (more or less)
- 50hz gameplay (mostly)
- Much abuse of the CPC's 4 colour screen mode
- 4 difficulty settings
- High score saving
- New game modes
- New backgrounds
- New level layouts
- Level randomiser
- Achievements (trophies)
- Built-in cheats
In short, it's everything you could want from a remake of Bomb Jack for an old British microcomputer from the 1980s, and possibly more!
Included in download:
- Disk image in .dsk format for use with emulators, USB floppy emulator such as Gotek, or to transfer to a real 3" disk if you are hardcore.
- Direct file version for use with mass storage devices such as the M4.
- PDF manual.
- Hours of fun, hopefully.
Check out my other work at Claymatic Games.
Update #1 - I made a small change that should hopefully fix compatibility with the original CPC464
Update #2 - fixed a typo in the credits - apologies Tsuruta-san

I could not believe it was mode1. My best CPC game so far! Thank you for this incredible piece of dev. It would have been such a blast back then...
Great game, thanks.
Brilliant game, such a great version. This is my tribute...
Good job.
Amazing. The visual style you chose is a masterpiece in its own. Thank you for such a feat!
Just two minor things about the credits:
- it's MICHITAKA, not MICHIKATA - typo!
- The 2D artist was Rie YATOMI at the time. Later on she married Michishito Ishizuka, but at the time she was nubile.
Source: I interviewed Tsuruta 20 years ago and the MAME history dat info comes from there.
Oh no, I didn't notice the typo - I will have to fix
very good
