This week's video is a retrospective of Bomb Jack, just like nobody asked for. Let's look back at an arcade classic that didn't quite stay in the public mind: https://youtu.be/G-qVri5G6CI

It stayed in mine, I played it a long* time ago in GBC and have been trying to find it ever since! I didn't know the name back then... so thanks pal :3
My whole day has been a schedule that's had to be reorganized several times, and constant changes, and as an autistic person, this has made me a little discombobulated. Thank you for being a consistent spark of joy in my Monday ❤️
I wanted to reply to this with "I was obsessed with Bomb Jack" in all caps but I feel like the statement already singles me out as a weirdo without yelling it to people I don't know
I was going to ask the same thing, but I couldn't remember the name and then made the mistake of Googling it (hint: "controversy" is Google's suggested search when looking it up by name)
Awesome. A couple of months ago my friend and I sourced ever home port we could find and spent all morning playing them. Our conclusion is that the ZX speccy version and the recent Amiga Bombjack beer edition are the best playing home ports. The SG-1000 version was the most ropey
Next week: a 4 hour deep dive into how it actually IS a UFO, and the intersection of the wider Bomb Jack franchise with the extended Roswell incident coverup conspiracy.
now unfortunately https://retroachievements.org doesn't have achievements added for that exact copy, they do for the sg-1000 and the pc-8000 versions, so now I wonder if you'd be up to stream you playing it for the chevos?
Girl makes a video about important, yet depressing news about layoffs, briefly mentions Bomb Jack for no reason, and then makes a new video about Bomb Jack one week later
You're such a gem, Sterling haha 😂 Never change 👏👏👏
Mighty bombjack is, at least in the sphere I'm in, used as an example of those solid but eh home conversions of arcade style games.
But just as there's a fan for every pokemon, it turns out a fan of bombjack exists.
I absolutely loved this video! Also, the top you're wearing with the li'l trolls and nostalgic trinkets is gorgeous, and I kinda need to know where it's from. Your fellow trash girl needs fashion advice! :D
In the best way of course. I don't think I fully appreciated it as I also had a video of another YouTuber playing Bloodborn with randomised enemies and bosses to watch afterwards, I'll need to watch yours again later to digest it. I can respect it though at least and it did make me laugh.
As someone who gets unreasonably excited every time someone remembers that Unreal was a game (and not just Tournament) I will always cheer for videos about completely obscure media. Loved it.❤

I do enjoy these sorts of vids, where you just talk about something you really want to talk about. :)
