Inept Reviews: Jet Pac

Request of the Night 2!

This is Jet Pac, the classic ZX Spectrum game from Ultimate Play the Game. Guide your Lunar Jetman around the moon, repairing his rocket the idiot crashed onto the rock in the first place, then gather fuel and supplies and do the whole thing over and over again.

Where did you get the game? I think it's not available at The World Spectrum (distribution denied...).

This was one of my favorite ZX Spectrum game.

There are sites out there that have it .... you just got to look a little harder on Google.

@pedroac Microsoft bought out Ultimate... hence it's being sat on or rereleased on their kit.. Bloody annoying...

Its probably a different type of fuel.....

Holy shit, i remember this game on DK 64 as a bonus game along with donkey kong.

classico !

[xgamer3000]

Not really.

It was only 2 lines.

I think you've put a bit too much thought into this!

[xgamer3000]

If his rocket only has enough fuel to go that high, then why not just use his jetpac? Or empty the infinite fuel from it to the rocket?

The glory of games like these is that you can make of it whatever you want. It can be some guy who just happened to crash on the moon, some guy fighting off the invading aliens from earth, or something completely random.

One of my first Spec games, I agree with your comments, it's a classic for purely nostalgic reasons. The game itself is way too repetative.

My first game I ever played on any computer :D I was about 6y old or something =)
