      I enjoyed Hustle, even though mine didn't have any audio (or maybe because mine didn't have audio :-) It's a simple and addicting game, but I enjoyed Bomber Jack more. I like its neat twist on Pac-man. Really fun to play.

        @Double_J Pac-Man? Really? I think it's just as similar to Mr. Do or I'm Sorry.

          Hustle is... snake. The very one I used to kill time with on my very first brick-style cell-phone. Not all video game memories are fond. I'm glad BombJack is the runaway favorite.

                @meleu Psst... you are not a terrorist ;) There are no ... bombs ... There are ... hmm.. apples ;) You are collecting sparkling apples ;)

                Game Hints:

                • Bonus gives you 1000pts,
                • Collect sparkling bombs (200pts with bonus 2x,4x...) and if the level ends you will get an extra bonus on top
                • If you eat the enemies (after the E-coin??? XTC pill)... and they respawn again they are getting really fast!
                • To jump from bottom to top, press jump and up
                • press jump in the air rapidly to hover

                I played this games a lot on a CPC... the Arcade version is much faster and with better sound+graphics. A jewel game indeed.

                So let's collect some bombs ;)

                    So my next contribution score is 111630
                    This is beatable at low level ;)

                      I was surprised to see that Bomb Jack was a single-screen arcade game and Vs Mighty Bomb Jack was much the same, but a side-scrolling arcade game this time around. I believe there's a two-player-simultaneous single-screen arcade version out there as well.

                        Here is my first try. There is more to the controls than I thought initially. From the look, I always think of Baloon Fight with a different goal.
                        @cyperghost Nice score. I made it to stage 6, and you still have more than double of my points. Edit: Ah yes, forgot to upload image.

                        Score: 50'420
