ZX Spectrum gameplay πŸ”΅ Jetpac & Jetpac RX πŸ”΄
Jetpac is an arcade-style shooter video game developed and published by Ultimate Play the Game and released for the ZX Spectrum and VIC-20 in 1983, and on the BBC Micro in 1984. The game is the first instalment in the Jetman series, and is the first game to be released by the Ultimate company, who were later known as Rare. The game follows Jetman as he must rebuild his rocket in order to e
xplore different planets, while simultaneously defending himself from hostile aliens. Jetpac has since been included in a number of other Rare titles such as an unlockable minigame in 1999's Donkey Kong 64 and part of the 2015 compilation Rare Replay. The game was later included in a game compilation on the ZX Spectrum Vega. It later spawned two direct sequels and a 2007 remake, Jetpac Refuelled, which was released for the Xbox Live Arcade service.
The game was written by Ultimate co-founder Chris Stamper and its graphics were designed by his brother, Tim Stamper. Jetpac was one of the very few Spectrum games also available in a ROM format for use with the Interface 2, allowing "instantaneous" loading of the game when the normal method of cassette loading took minutes. The game was met with critical acclaim upon release, with reviewers praising the game's presentation and gameplay. It later won the "Game of the Year" title at the Golden Joystick Awards in 1983.

JetPac RX
JetPac RX is my own personal take on Ultimate Play the Game's classic JetPac for the ZX Spectrum. The core gameplay is still there, but dozens of modifications have been made, with many more planned. Updates include additional details to the graphics, new gameplay mechanics, particle effects and much more.
Like many, I'm finding things tough financially at the moment so I've included the option to make a tip / donation. This is not so much for the patch, but for those who wish to show their appreciation and encourage me to continue the work that I do. Those that donate will receive updates and enhanced versions of the game in future. If you yourself are struggling however, don't feel obliged.
