Bomb Jack Submitted by: rickHH Hints: ------ An important piece of information to remember is that you can pick up the bombs in a certain order to get the maximum points. If you pick up most of the bombs while their fuses are lit, you get the following bonuses: Bombs Bonuses -------------------- 20 - 10,000 21 - 20,000 22 - 30,000 23 - 50,000 So of course, you'll want to try to get 23 each time. (This is of course, VERY difficult!) The P (Power) coin appears after every ninth bomb is collected. The points value of the P coin ranges from 100 (Blue) to 2000 (Silver). Since the color changes each time BJ jumps, you can control the bonus level by making small jumps until the coin turns silver. Extra credit: ------------- The B (Bonus) coin appears every 5,000 points, and advances the bonus multiplier by 1. There is a maximum of 5 B coins per level. Mechanical bird: ---------------- Picking up the S (Special) coin awards one free credit. It will also take you to the next level automatically. You can control where the mechanical bird appears by holding the joystick in the opposite direction. Example: Hold the joystick to the right as soon as the round starts and the mechanical bird appears on the left of the screen. If the stick is held diagonally, the bird appears in the opposite corner.
