| Amiga Format's March 1991 issue reviewed the Amiga game (Psygnosis, £24.99, mouse-controlled) under Trenton Webb's name and gave it 92%. It found that Lemmings "thrives on panic, lateral thinking and accurate mouse work", and noted four styles of play plus a two-player mode. | p. 62 (image 62), review headingp. 62 (image 62)p. 63 (image 63)p. 63 (image 63), byline and rating boxp. 63 (image 63), rating box | Magazine |
| Elite published Mighty Bombjack for the Commodore 64, at £9.99 on cassette and £12.99 on disk, and for the Amiga at £24.99. Zzap!64 called Bomb Jack a classic Tecmo coin-op of the early 1980s whose original C64 conversion was a disaster but whose success on other formats led Elite to develop its own sequel; Tecmo's Nintendo sequel was "so hugely successful" that another Elite conversion was inevitable. Amiga Format adds that Elite had released a conversion of Bomb Jack on the Amiga. | p. 85 (image n84), Mighty Bomb Jackp. 85 (image n84), Mighty Bomb Jack | Magazine |
| Maff Evans gave the Amiga version 60% in Amiga Format in March 1991. He found it fun at first, with attractive backgrounds and colorful animation but tiny sprites, and its humor, such as the torture room for greedy players, amusing; but the dated design soon grew dull, and it was not different enough from the original to stand as a full game in its own right. | p. 85 (image n84), Verdictp. 85 (image n84), Mighty Bomb Jackp. 85 (image n84), Mighty Bomb Jackp. 85 (image n84), Verdictp. 85 (image n84), Verdictp. 85 (image n84), byline | Magazine |
| Amiga Format's review placed Mighty Bomb Jack as the latest game in the series begun by the Bomb Jack arcade game, which Elite had converted for the Amiga a few years earlier; it found the new game little advanced since that conversion, beyond additions such as the scrolling levels and the Mighty Weapon. | p. 85 (image n84), Mighty Bomb Jackp. 85 (image n84), Mighty Bomb Jack | Magazine |
