It was later released for BBC Micro in 1984. The game is the first instalment in the ''Jetman'' series, and is the first game to be released by the company, who were later known as Rare. The game follows Jetman as he must rebuild his rocket in order to explore different planets, whilst simultaneously defending himself from aliens. ''Jetpac'' has since been included in other Rare games such as an unlockable in ''Donkey Kong 64'' and part of a compilation in ''Rare Replay''. The game later spawned two sequels and a 2007 remake, ''Jetpac Refuelled'', which was released for the Xbox Live Arcade service. The game was written by Chris Stamper and graphics were designed by Tim Stamper. ''Jetpac'' was one of the very few Spectrum games also available in ROM format for use with the Interface 2, allowing "instantaneous" loading of the game when the normal method of cassette loading could take several minutes.〔 The game was met with critical acclaim upon release, with reviewers praising the game's presentation and playability. It later won the "Game of the Year" title at the Golden Joystick Awards in 1983. ==Gameplay== The game world is presented in a horizontal wraparound and consists of three platforms which Jetman can manoeuvre onto. Jetman must assemble his rocket (which spawns in instalments scattered around the map), and then fill it with fuel before taking off to the next planet, where the procedure is broadly repeated.〔 In addition, the player has to defend themselves from the planet's aliens, and for bonus points collect valuable resources which occasionally fall from above.〔 After the first level, the rocket stays assembled and just requires refuelling. However, every four levels, the rocket resets (giving the player an extra life) and the replacement has to be built before it can be re-fuelled for take off.〔 Each new model has a new design with a higher number written on it, although the gameplay remains unchanged.〔 The enemies change forms each level (cycling back to the first after eight levels) and each alien has a different pattern of movement which means they can be dealt with in a different manner.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jetpac」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
