I really like what @SuTeKH does with its C64 arrangement (Zynaps first). Now, Bomb Jack uses the AY sound in the arcade machine, so I would have preferred to listen to it on a CPC.

Unfortunately the CPC version of the game has no music.

From CPCGAMEREVIEWS:

"This was a fun and unique game that was a rave in the arcades back in the mid-1980s. It's still fun to play today, and the CPC conversion is a good one too. The aim is to jump into flight and collect all the bombs on the screen. Collecting lit bombs in sequence rewards you with bonus scores and special abilities. Several nasties begin to appear as you fly around, making progress a little tricky. This is a great game with good graphics displaying various scenic backgrounds, smooth sprites and varied sound effects. Sadly, there is no music, which is a shame."

That why a patch with the arcade music will be great.

I agree, it is a very fun game and a great conversion on CPC.

A PlayCity / Play2CPC version with music+sfx is doable:
