Bomb Jack DX Beta 6 for Commodore 64 Announced!

It’s been over a year since our last update on Bomb Jack DX, which is a Bomb Jack fan remake for the Commodore 64. We was beginning to think this project was abandoned, however today Retrofan (and crew) surprised us with a brand new update! The new Beta 6 shows us improved gameplay for 2 players and other lovely additions, including:

  • Eye-candy colourful credits in the start screen
  • GUI improvement: left/right arrows for 1/2 player toggle
  • 2-player mode shows 2nd Jack in grey
  • the level starts with action button for the new player in 2-player mode
  • New fading colours for “bomb-o-meter”
  • Optimized LA night background for more free RAM
  • Optimized Germany background
  • Optimized skyscraper background
  • Some improved platform layouts
  • Bugfix for long-lasting “half bomb bug”
  • Round-number switches now to zero after game over
  • Little flash animation for Sphere-Enemy
  • Original mummy behaviour for heavier gameplay
