  1. Jetpac by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Indie Super Mario Title

    This games quite old... i remember playing it when it was posted on www.uncleclive.co.uk ages ago. It's a mario styled conversion of a very old ZX spectrum game called JetPac by Rare.

  2. Or going back even further (was Re:for example) by fingal · · Score: 2 · on Miyamoto vs. Everyone Else

    I am still of the opinion people would have to look quite hard to try and beat games such as Jetpac by Ultimate for the 16K Spectrum. Or if you wanted a bit more depth to the game then there was the followup Lunar Jetman which had a massive gameplaying area - but then you had to shell out and get a Spectrum with the somewhat excessive memory of 48K!!! Hmmm. Progress is good. Isn't it???

    (quick aside: while trying to verify the name of Lunar Jetman, I came across this site. Nice trip down memory lane for all Spectrum users...

    And of course this all was done a long time after their initial start with 8-bit computers, where they had a quite nice success with several hits to top-20 lists and such. Information about their existence as Ultimate is either nostalgic, interesting or the mutterings of near-dead old-as-stars zombies, depending on your viewpoint. ;)

    and one they should update for the XBOX..... R/C Pro-AM!!!! :)


    IMO Rare's best game was Underwurlde, produced when they were still called Ultimate and produced games for 8-bit computers. ;) Sabre Wulf was not bad either, and I guess Knight Lore was pretty good, but I never saw it. All these games were mentioned on rareware.com, but sadly the information seems to have disappeared since. But you can get all that information on the Ultimate-Wurlde and get either nostalgic, enlightened about history or just plain bored. ;)
