Jetpack

Jetpack is a classic platform game from Adept Software that combines exploration, shooting and one of the most entertaining methods of transportation ever invented: a jetpack. You guide your character through underground environments, collecting treasures and resources while dealing with enemies and obstacles. The jetpack makes movement wonderfully distinctive, but it also introduces its own problems, because maintaining control while flying around narrow passages is considerably harder than it looks. The game has the unmistakable charm of early PC shareware, with simple graphics hiding a surprisingly engaging challenge. It is fast, approachable and full of the sort of situations where a perfectly good plan ends with you stuck against a ceiling. For retro gamers, Jetpack remains a charming example of classic PC action design.
