Bomb Jack Extra Sugar - This Arcade classic as an Amstrad CPC remake via Anthony Flack looks super impressive!
I can still remember in the late 80's on my Amstrad CPC 464 playing the brilliant Arcade port ' Bomb Jack '.

So why is this game getting another mention? Well we've just been contacted by Xyphoe via Twitter, that this great game from back in the day, is now available as a fully fledged Arcade to Amstrad CPC remake by Anthony Flack.
