In this video we revisit Jet Pac on the ZX Spectrum which was released on the ZX Spectrum in 1983. This was one of the very first games I played on a home computer back in the 1980s.

ORIGINAL CASSETTE INLAY INSTRUCTIONS:

JET PAC

The 'Acme Interstellar Transport Company' is delivering spaceship
kits to various planets in the solar system throughout the Galaxy;
and as chief test pilot, all you have to do is assemble the Rockets,
and thrust on to your next destination.

As you don't often get the chance of a free trip across the Galaxy,
this is a great opportunity to get rich! Stop off on several planets
on your journey, collect the odd sack of precious gems, elements or
gold, and take them back with you.

Sounds simple doesn't it!

But before you make yourself the richest person in the whole Universe,
remember to refuel your Spaceship - with 6 fuel pods - every time you
land on a planet. Any other goodies you collect are yours to keep.
Upon landing, you will find yourself equipped with the very latest
Hydrovac Jet Pac, which can automatically air lift almost any rocket
stage, fuel pod or valuables that you care to land upon, and release
them over the rocket ship base. Don't forget your mega-
powerful, Quad Photon Laser Phasers can blast any nasty, mean aliens
who might object to your visit.

JET PAC LOADING INSTRUCTIONS

recorder and ensure the MIC lead is disconnected.
