Jetpac

Jetpack is a platform game available as freeware, originally released by Software Creations in 1993 as shareware. The objective of the levels is to collect all the green emeralds scattered around the level, avoiding obstacles and enemies. Once you've done that, a door will open, through which you'll have to pass to get to the next level. There is a single player mode and a local multiplayer mode. The multiplayer mode supports up to eight players, who take turns playing on one computer. The player is assisted in his quest by a jetpack and a phase shifter, which he can use to tunnel through certain walls. The environments, which usually consist of mazes made of bricks, also feature vines, gold, ladders, ice, crates, columns and conveyor belts. Other obstacles include jagged rocks, force fields, teleport pads and indestructible bricks. To keep his jetpack running, the player must collect fuel, in the form of single/double tanks or fuel grids. The game includes a simple level editor. Numerous levels have already been published on Adept Software's website. The registered game offers 100 pre-built levels. The developers have also published a hint book with screenshots and a short note about each level.
