This week’s arcade offering is for those who don’t have an apprehension toward new heights, as JetPac is flying your way courtesy of Xbox LiveArcade.
Kotaku : Originally a computer game for the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, and CommodoreVIC-20, Jetpac was last seen as a bonus in Cranky Kong’s lab in DonkeyKong 64.
Wikipedia: The ‘Acme Interstellar Transport Company’ is delivering SPACESHIP KITS to various planets in the solar systems throughout the Galaxy, and as chief test pilot, all you have to do is assemble the Rockets, and thrust onto your next destination.
- But!as you don’t often get the chance of a free trip across the Galaxy, and space travel is, oh, so expensive, now is your chance to get rich! You might just as well stop off on several planets on your journey, collect the odd sack of precious gems, elements or gold, and take them back with you.
Sounds fun enough, and for only 400 MS Points ($5), it can’t be that bad.
