THE COMMODORE ARCHIVE: JACK ATTACK - C64 - 1983
0If memory serves, this was the other cartridge you got if you weren't a Football fan. Jack Attack is a very simple arcade game where you have to either jump on or squash the rotating heads on each level.
Coded by Kevin Kieller and John Traynor and, I'm pretty sure, converted from the VIC 20 original, this is a simple idea executed in an Ok way. Graphics are simple and clean, sound is sparse and lacking in game music.
Today, this is a little too simple, with just Marioing or Sokobaning the baddies, the strategy is lacking and its too slow paced to offer any long term fun. Again, in 1983 this was something a little different but, given cartridges were £15, it's not really good value for money. Just about worth a few plays but not one worth recommending.
