Elite Systems' Game Boy port of Bomb Jack, Tehkan's 1984 arcade classic. Released in Europe in 1993, it carries a formula still loved by the retro crowd onto a handheld. Its desirability comes from pairing a recognised arcade licence with a modest late-period PAL run. A solid pick for fans of 1980s arcade play who value faithful Game Boy ports over new ideas.
