The game I picked for this week is Bomb Jack. It’s an old school video game from 1984 where Jack is rewarded with points for finding and deactivating bombs from his opponents. It’s simple, but a lot of fun. And let’s be honest, mostly everything that came from 1980s is awesome.
Players: You play against the computer who presents obstacles.
Outcome: If all of the bombs are collected within a certain amount a time everyone is saved from the explosion. If Jack does not accomplish the amount of bombs he needs to acquire everyone blows up. The pressure in on.
Procedures: Jumps by pushing when Jack is on the floor Stops when pushing in the air. Stay where you are by tapping the space bar fast.
Using a joystick has the same sort of commands. You can jump ultra high by pushing the joystick upwards. Push the joystick in a downward motion to come down fast.
Rules/Resources: You can only grab on bomb at a time.
Conflict: The number of bombs increases and the amount of time decreases.
Objectives: You need to jump and crawl to locate and deactivate bombs.
Boundaries: There is not a predetermined fate for the gamer.
Give it a go:
