I heard back from my bug report:

"nothing done in the savescore area... it's an original game bug, you can ask mcgeezer to fix it"

As i’m taking a short break from super sprint i’ll take a little look over the next couple of days. Can you pm me exactly what happens please.

Quick update: I just tried the ADF. I managed five quick high scores, I reloaded the game, got a new high score and they were all there. So it does seem like a problem with the WHDLoad version.

Appreciate this is resurrecting an old thread but I just came across this today wondering if a remake was ever done. Absolutely fantastic work! It's better than the arcade version.

@mcgeezer
Do you plan to fix the random glitch on player death anim (flickering sprite etc.)?

You'll have to show me because I don't know what you mean.

I updated the link now.

Thank you !

Well, just pondering how many Euros would I be able to pay for it...

I've upped a new version of Bomb Jack Beer Edition to my my itch page. Last week I was on holiday but before I went DJ Metune asked if he could redo all of the audio in the game.

So after coming back (from Butlins) with a full family dose of Covid I can furnish you with a nice updated version, there's lots of speed corrections in this along with the arcade aligned audio.

Bomb Jack Beer Edition is my first game I ported for the Amiga as it's one of my fav arcade games. Feel free to buy me a beer on my itch page if you like - I like beer.

Big thumbs up to Old-Style-Gaming for helping with some testing!

Enjoy.

with the new music it's super close to the arcade version now. Small difference: bonus bomb countdown justifies 0 to the left should be to the right.. Also some levels backgrounds & layouts are different, but that's probably part of the original will to not make a 100% clone.

Probably needs a whdload slave update too.

Lovely stuff. Downloaded and donated beer tokens!

nikosidis · 30 August 2022, 22:54

Been hoping for this

Thanks mcgeezer and DJ Metune. This looks and sounds perfect

edit:
Tried the game now on real Amiga. Very nice. Gameplay, music, gfx is spot on!
It there was 1 thing that could be very cool it would be 2-player option.

Many Thanks @mcgeezer for this great update !

Really nice release. Loved Bombjack back in the day.

Hi Geezer, I tested the game on real Amiga 500 (kick 1.3 + 512k exp)
and I noticed this little visual bug at the beginning of the round.
It always does, except after playing a full game,
in which case the first level of the new game doesn't have the bug, then it comes back.

hope it can help
