Mini Review: Jetpac

For a game that was made in 1983 it still managed to hold up fairly well. The main gameplay loop of blasting aliens while collecting fuel is fun. Along with the enemies not being super aggressive gives you plenty of chances to get better at this game before it gets harder. Yet the lack of music really shows the age of this game. Sure it may just be a bunch of bloops but a little tune can add a lot to a game. Also the lack of variation of the play area is also noticeable. It is the same exact level every single time even if you loop around to the beginning of the game again. Overall this was a good game and it is worth checking out if you pick up Rare Replay.
