Amazing though - the original game was written by 2 brothers in their spare time. The remake was developed by a legion of people (try watching the credits!)

Lunar Jetman ftw.
And if they do it, maybe Rare will stick that fake trailer in for real this time! lol

Jetpac Refuelled is brilliant btw. 400pts - a bargain.

damn it’s a really small file size, expected it to be a lot bigger really with all those level.s Guess a lot look similar then but 128 levels is nice.

Should be the best 400 MSP game

Lunar JetMan was a great game - just incredibly difficult on the speccy’s rubbery keys. Finding that missile base and staying alive was frustrating - but should be a lot easier with the 360’s new-fangled controller!

But both of the JetPac games showed the home computing world that there’s more to a shooter than left-right-fire!

Yeah, I fall into that over 30’s bracket, but it does make me appreciate games a whole lot more. Considering what I had when I was kid and comparing that to what my kids play now, but I have got them to like some of the games that I used to play via MAME and various other emu’s. I will sit them down infront of this game and see what they think when they get in from school later on this afternoon.

Hopefully they will release the follow up to this game next, Lunar Jetman…

400 point bargain!

This will keep me going nicely until PomPom’s next shooter and the upcoming games from Jeff Minter!

Look past the simplicity - this game is still worthy!

You probably have to be well into your 30’s to fully appreciate this game and what it did to raise the bar back in ‘83 when games were generally just rehashes of “Space Invaders” and “Pacman” - or crappy “go north” / “go east” text adventures.

This was not just a shooter - it was a shooter that games you freedom to roam the whole screen - with sub-games and objectives other than just shooting enemies. And each enemy had a unique look and a personality.

I liked the original - respect what it did for the games industry and think that the remake is actually very good.

Simple to get to grips with, but not easy to master. See you on level 128!

The game has one *HUNDRED* and 28 freaking levels and in the trial version they let you play *TWO*.

I MEAN SRSLY.
