Overview
Jetpac Refuelled is a sci-fi single-screen action platformer developed by Rare and published digitally by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 (as an Xbox Live Arcade title) on March 28, 2007.
A remake of the 1983 ZX Spectrum game Jetpac, Refuelled overhauls the original game's graphics (with high-definition resolution and hand-drawn art) and gameplay mechanics (including new power-ups, such as weapon upgrades and screen-clearing bombs). It features 128 levels in total, each with larger playfields and unique platform patterns, and competitive one-on-one multiplayer (split-screen and online). It also features a recreation of the original 1983 game in its original form, as well as a brief history of the original studio ("Ultimate Play the Game") and hidden references to their other games.
As with the original, players control the astronaut Jetman as he travels through hostile alien worlds to assemble and/or fuel his rocket for further traveling. Playfields are single-screen with horizontal wrap-around, and Jetman can maneuver around with his personal jetpack.
The game was later included in the 2015 Xbox One compilation Rare Replay. Like all the other Xbox 360 games in the compilation, Jetpac Refuelled was included as-is with Xbox One backwards compatibility, having no special features and requiring a separate installation.
