This must be the VERY FIRST game I ever played on a real computer, back in ca. 1985-6 (prior to that my only gaming experience was with some game console, whose name I don't even remember)...
Got fond memories of this game. My parents were cheap fucks and only got me the 16k Speccy to start with. This was one of the few games available for it.
They probably wanted to see if you would use it properly to do your homework. While every other kid had a 48K you'd be trying to load 48k pirates - OUT OF MEMORY!
Ultimate ruled the Spectrum world at one stage and then they just gave up to move on to other things. Guess they knew they had done it all on the speccy. Cheers mate!
Where's my comment gone? Bastard Youtube! Classic game. I reviewed this, except it was so rubbish I never uploaded. I'll save it for a rainy day along with my other crap reviews (which is probably most of them!) There are a couple of good PC Jet Pac games. One at the Retrospec remakes site, the other has a Mario theme. Both worth a look.
Missing comments and missing uploads. That's what happens when they perform site maintenance. I hear there's a lot of rain around this month. Might be a good time for those less than perfect reviews. BTW, thanks for reminding me where the PC version comes from.

Sabre Wulf is one of my favourites as well. Must put that up. My mate's hamster was great at that game.

There's a PC version available somewhere. You can watch a video of it on the 'EvildeadCellar' channel.
