You must have had Yie Ar Kung Fun on the CPC, I could play that game forever, well, untill I got bored or going round and round.

As for Bomb Jack, I was lucky enough to have that in the local arcade from 1985-1990, along with Starforce, Mr Do!, Kung Fu Master, Trojan, Flash Gal and many, many more, though some of them only lasted for since months or so.
