Review of
Jetpack (PC)
By Ryan Wellman


I love this game, it’s an Adept Software classic that’s been overlooked for many years. It came out in 1993 and has had a cult following ever since. I could play this game for hours and hours, and it’s the best freeware game I’ve ever seen.


You are in control of the man with the jetpack, and you have to collect all the green gems so that a door will open. When you get to the open door, the level is over. As simple as that sounds, it can be very difficult at times. You collect fuel and fly around in this side viewed game of skill. There is no scrolling, and everything is viewed on one screen. There are robots, metal balls, bats, and a variety of different creatures which you must avoid in order to reach your destination. One item you collect will stop time for a little while, allowing you to pass by the enemies without them having a clue of what’s going on. You are also equipped with a phazer which will dissolve certain blocks, allowing passage to areas that seem hidden. There are also switches that will turn on or off certain color blocks, increasing the amount of obstacles.


The best thing about this game is it comes with a level editor, allowing you to make your own levels and see if you can beat them. You can also test the skills of your friends. Making levels is awesome in this game, I had so much fun figuring out how exactly to make the best level.


If you have any extra time and want to play a good game, I would definitely download Jetpack. Along with the free game, you can download free levels and a manual that will tell you everything about the game, including all its cheats. You might be surprised at how addicting this game is, regardless of its age. There is also a Christmas version where you are Santa and you must collect all the children’s gifts so that Christmas will be saved, and it is just as fun and addicting.
