Jetpac
A downloadable game for Windows
The Acme Interstellar Transport Company has one goal: scatter flat‑pack starships across the Galaxy and hope someone brave assembles them.
That someone is you — test pilot, courier, and part‑time rocket mechanic.
Every planet is a payday. Gems, rare elements, gold… your Jet Pac scoops valuables and rocket parts with ease. Grab the loot, haul it to your launch site, blast off, repeat.
There’s just one catch: you can’t leave without six fuel pods. Luckily, your Hydrovac Jet Pac can air‑lift rocket stages, fuel pods, and treasure with pinpoint precision.
Oh, and the locals aren’t always friendly. Good thing you’re packing the Quad Photon Laser Phaser to keep them at bay.
Assemble rockets. Collect riches. Blast aliens.
This remake of the classic ZX Spectrum game features a number of options:
- Three graphic styles switchable in-game: ZX Spectrum original, ZX Spectrum limitless colour and new HD graphics
- Have the platforms randomly re-arrange with each new rocket build, or keep them static as in the original
- Decide whether fuel pods can be shot. Forces you to be a little more careful with that laser!
- Lunar Jetman missile launcher. Straight from the sequel - complete the level before time runs out and the homing missile is launched. Watch out for those nasty little shooty things too!
- Bored with battling the same aliens from the Spectrum game? Why not face the baddies from Ultimate's other games of that era, Cookie and Pssst?

Very cool conversion that plays well and also offers good sound. However, a setup file where the controller and game's window resolution can be set and saved would be highly desirable in the future. Our German-language review can be found at 04:05:51. English subtitles are also available. 🙂
Jetpac Remake is great. One issue though is with the high scores. I got my name in first time but, even though I beat the high score the game doesn't let me put my name in the highscores again. Seems I can only have one entry in the hall of fame no matter how many games I play or how many times I get an high score.
Great game! Thought I'd posted a video here, already.
This is fantastic! I was around when this game came out on the Speccy. Years (and years!) later, still a gamer, I have it installed on my Steam Deck. Excellent job, love the option to have the fuel pods explode if you fire at them.
Awesome remake. I appreciate the updated stuff but I like just playing it old style with the pixel perfect recreation of my teenage memories. It stands up remarkably well as a game too.
A very good remake of a great game. So many options to choose from!
I recommended the game to some friends. One reported that he can hear the music, but the screen just goes black. That happens with WINE. Is that a known issue?
What on Gamehub?
I didn't change any settings, just on default, i have G3 Gen 3 device though.
If you use a Mali device or other Non Snapdragon device then change Compatibility Layer to a different version, say Wine 10.6-arm64x-2, instead of the default Proton 10.0-arm64x-2.
I have got to say, this is my favourite remake of yours, Richard - This is so playable, and also glad to report, works perfectly on Android, using Gamehub 5.3.5.
Please note, i only collected the fuel.
very good
Hey there, congrats on the remake - superb game. I took the liberty of uploading a gameplay video on my channel:
Cheers Jamie - that's an honour! I'm a regular viewer of your channel and a subscriber... never thought I'd feature on it!
No probs at all, hopefully you will get more recognition for those awesome remasters you do.
