Jetpack

Utterly superb space game with a more constructive scenario than usual. You are a delivery/test pilot on your travels about the galaxy and have the chance to do a bit of prospecting as you go. Of course, there's a catch: those pesky aliens are out to get you again (will they never learn?) and there is a little matter of having to assemble your space ship before you can actually go anywhere! I didn't say it was easy...

The graphics are smashing, lots of lovely hi-res stuff as you zip about on your Jetpack or go walkies on the bits of extra terrestrial firms that appear from time to time along with the goodies like gold, jewels and fuel. Lots of zingy sonics too, phasey lasers and big bangs and more.

Oh I like it, I like it! I will say no more but go and get one quick. One or two player option.

How do they do it for £5.50? It's companies like Ultimate that get my vote every time, look out Imagine, you have competition!
