Jetpac

Very simple and beautifully playable - Jetpac sees your little astronaut fella jetting from platform to platform - he has to build and fuel his rocket before blasting off to the next level. Alien blob thingies float around being obstructive, and you have to give them a good zapping. The game might bring back the odd moist eye and memories of the simpler past when summers were hotter and people were polite to you in the street.

There's no depth to Jetpac - you just have to wrestle with your trusty joystick, collect things and shoot other varieties of things. All in all though, it's lovingly presented and a spiffingly joyous bounce, suitable particularly if you need something simple to keep yourself out of mischief on dismal wet afternoons.
