55,070 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. |

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
