The box art for Mighty Bomb Jack tells the whole story beautifully. The pyramids stand waiting, while Jack, the hero, dives in headfirst. Subsequently, Jack marauds through the tombs of the Pharaohs, leading you through a baffling maze of doors and corridors. Naturally, various baddies frustrate your efforts to advance, and you will require magic treasures and physical dexterity to make it through alive. Of course, secret passages and extra lives help along the way.

Navigating the dangerous depths of the ancient pyramids may sound impossible at first, but Mighty Bomb Jack is quite an extraordinary hero. He can jump about ten times his height and his magic cape allows gamers to control his descent with surprising precision. Also, Jack is considerably faster than the many enemies trying to run him down. Mighty Bomb Jack also competes for points and attempts to collect that maximum number of bombs. In addition, magic coins can be found around the tombs to increase your power; but don't get too greedy, or you will be sent off to the torture room.
