Writing a WebAssembly emulator for the Bomb Jack arcade machine (floooh.github.com)

Playing Bomb Jack, Bubble Bobble, Sabre Wulf and few other classics with my uncle is among my fondest childhood memories. I wonder why they haven’t gotten many modern remakes.


I'm going to assume you had a ZX Spectrum too? Great machines, and a lot of nostalgia for me too.

I recently came across the odroid-go, which has a Spectrum emulator, so I've been working my way through Manic Miner. Awesome stuff!


Licenses mostly.


Thank you for posting this, I really enjoy this kind of breakdown.


This website redirects from HTTP to HTTPS, but then tries to load all its images via HTTP, making my security-aware browser hide all the images.


Oops, sorry about that. I had the Jekyll base URL set to http instead of https. I've pushed an update, might take a few minutes to appear.


Hmm that didn't work, images didn't load through https for some reason. I need to find out why and do a proper fix.


what's the deal with round 5 where it's not possible to jump high enough to collect the top row of bombs? BTW, the favorite game of my youth, thank you for this!!!
