Like 69, but bigger
For this week we go all the way back to 1983 with Jetpac for the Spectrum

WOS page here : http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0009362

This is one of the few spectrum games where distribution is not allowed so you'll have to pick it up elsewhere however googling for jetpac spectrum rom got me to this page on Emuparadise which has the file - http://www.emuparadise.me/ZX_Spectrum_%28Tapes%29_ROMs/Jetpac_%281983%29%28Ultimate%29/86779

Had no time during the week, so I left it for later and then I caught a bad cold. Which sucks in multiple ways, not least because Jetpac was one of my favourites in the 80s so I was hoping for a better score. Don't think I would have challenged the top guns though. On a positive note the game is still a lot of fun to play.

Erm..., highly strange and hugely annoying. Just had a bizarre game. Every time the ship landed to start each level I LOST A LIFE! So...GAME OVER just by landing the ship. Uh? :blink: :crazy:
I spotted that early on when I started playing it, but I think it adds a life on when you get in the rocket to fly off, then takes it back off when you land and get out. When you get a new rocket I don't think it ever takes one off. Something like that. I never really worked out how the extra lives worked. I'd read it was every 10,000, but that didn't seem to be the case for me.

I've never had a Game Over on landing, though. That sounds odd.

Yes, I noticed that bug too - I suppose it's present on the original? - And yes, you receive an extra life at the start of every new spaceship.

Arse! Forgot to post a score, went to the Replay Event and saw it running on a spectrum. Waited for person to finish so I could play, take photo and post it but someone wanted help getting a TRS-80 running a particular game... then I forgot about Jetpac >< ><
