STIL commentDoes not cover the arcade version. "Bombjack 1 was based on the old coin op machine. The title tune is a Jean-Michel Jarre cover. We used to copy tunes like this all the time in the early days, I think the legislation at the time didn't cover computer based music, that situation didn't last very long though and we then needed to do original compositions (supposedly). Only tune 2 is from the original arcade machine. I seem to remember that in the original version of the music I used Lady Madonna by the Beatles." (MC)

Tas:
HAHA!!! I'm really liking this Chronblom. Did a cool mix of Wizball and this is soooo cool too. GREAT STUFF!! It's great to hear a new talent coming through. Can't wait for more
infamous:
Heh… Its short but I actually like this alot… Great great stuff
kwed:
Shake it like a white girl! Things haven't been this funky since DJLizard's Chilly Willy mix. Now get Mark King and Vanessa-Mae to do a live version.
LMan:
Bouncy. Funny. Entertaining. Nice one 😃
Melaure:
Very nice tune
omoroca:
Sounds old-fashioned, like some end-90's Abbott stuff. Great! Added to my collection.
skyy:
I really liked the violins, something a bit different. Great.
LaLa:
Very upbeat, great rhythm, can't get it out of my head! The violin and flute leads could sound better, but otherwise, this really rox!
mrt:
I like it since first note!
romeo_knight:
This is cheesy stuff! (Well I think it's supposed to be) Reminds me of these tasteless classic-pop 80ties productions.
Skitz:
Oh yes… Very nice! Clean remix here with some funky organ work! Shame about the drums just repeating…
Makke:
Did Drängarna make a C64 remix? Only complaint I have is that the drum beat gets seriously boring!
Waz:
There's lots of funky beats and bass, expertly mixed with lashings of lovely violin. Not quite red, but it's very good nonetheless.
weasel:
Hahaha!! Very cool!! 😀 sooo… Oehm… Happy!! 😃DD Very well done!! Caught a perfect feeling of the game-original!
eliot:
Makes me lough, makes me feel happy. If the drums have more variation it would got the red one.
hispeed:
Really nice arrangements… Except for said drum patterns which _are_ repetitive 😊
c64glen:
Chronblom, I hate you! This is miles better than my version!
DHS:
Good arrangement if it lasted only 1 minute. Very funky and amusing. But there are too few variations (xpecially drums), so it gets boring very soon. Imho plastic master, too much reverb on hats. Otherwise a good work.
vosla:
Rondo Veniziano with a twist? Should have been shorter to avoid being so repetitious.
Dumper:
A bit more variety and I would be well happy, but it hasn't so I'm not 😊
madfiddler:
Mmmm, can't say I like the violin sample… In fact it kinda ruins it for me… Did someone mention VMae? Shoot him…
