Bomb Jack sequel on NES by Tecmo. Jump, collect bombs, hidden secrets in the levels. Original and addictive concept. Overlooked but enjoyable for platform-puzzle fans.

Description
Action platformer featuring Jack battling enemies in a temple while collecting bombs. Published by Tecmo, released in Europe in 1987. Jack in side-scrolling view with bombs as main weapon in temple levels. NES port of Tecmo's Mighty Bomb Jack arcade.
A port of the Tecmo arcade game, this European edition of Mighty Bomb Jack runs in PAL format, usually scarcer than its North American counterpart, yet its sealed value here sits below the US release. The collecting angle rests on the PAL cardboard box and Tecmo's third-party status, sought by European collectors targeting regional Tecmo releases rather than the platformer's own appeal.
