  News - Jetpac coming to Live Arcade? // None /// Eurogamer
Jetpac, first released in 1983, saw you playing as a little man tasked with assembling a rocket and then using it to zoom about the place shooting stuff.
Microsoft has yet to confirm that the game is coming to XBL but it doesn't seem too far-fetched - after all, old favourites Pac-Man, Street Fighter and Galaga are already on their way.
Here's hoping Jetpac won't be the only other classic to join in the fun...

 'Jetpac Refuelled' Review (Xbox 360) | Killer Betties
Jetpac Refuelled is without a doubt the way EVERY old school retro arcade game should be brought to Xbox Live Arcade, as Rare shows the love and care that the classic should be remembered as, but yet updating it for the Xbox 360 masses who might be discovering it for the first time like myself.
Jetpac Refuelled actually has background music (completely missing from the original); more sound work; some nice and simple effects like the smoke from your rocket taking off; and the hand-drawn, painted cartoon look of the backgrounds is quite striking and lovely.
Jetpac Refuelled is one of the best games on Xbox Live Arcade to date, mainly because Rare cared enough to go back, spruce up the visuals, sound, and gameplay, and ended up creating a spectacular reimagining of one of its original properties.

Jetpac Refuelled comes to use from Rare, a company more recently known for the fantastic and under appreciated Viva Pinata, as well as a string of classics over the past 20 years.
Based on the original Jetpac game that came out in 1983, a time when primordial gamers were still crawling out of the digital ooze, this new version includes the original relic as well as a totally overhauled, super-sized, eye-melting remake; hence the “Refuelled” in the game name.
Jetpac is very fast-paced and becomes increasingly challenging, littering the screen with tons of whacked-out enemies.

 Xbox 360 - The Official Magazine - Review: Jetpac Refuelled
The original Jetpac is undoubtedly a classic Spectrum game, but the technical limitations of a 20-year old computer mean that it hasn’t quite held up to scrutiny in 2007.
While Defender had scrolling levels and enemies that were brutally intelligent, Jetpac was restricted to a single screen and monsters that followed a fairly predictable pattern.
Jetpac Refuelled has a lot of charm, and the inclusion of the Spectrum original is a nice bit of nostalgia, but the game lacks the depth and intelligence of other arcade games from that era.

Veteran twitch gamers and eager rookies are all well catered for, with over 100 stages challenging allcomers to build and refuel their rockets under heavy pressure from disgruntled locals.
Jetpac Refuelled is much more than a simple nostalgia trip, though to show due reverence we've also included a recreation of the classic 1983 original under the heading of Retro mode...
Yes, it's basic, yes, it's repetitive, but Jetpac Refuelled looks, sounds and plays great, and is well worth the 400 MS Point price-tag, unlike most ‘classic' titles on the Arcade.

 Mundo Rare - Games - Jetpac Refuelled (Review)
For those unfamiliar, Jetpac presented you with the seemingly simple goal of recovering broken ship parts and fuel to escape off the alien planet to another alien planet until you succumb to the maneuvering aliens.
The main controls for this game took a lot of time to get used to, until I figured out the control scheme in which R is the trigger button, A is to fly around, and X or L unleashes the EMP in Refuelled.
Regardless, Jetpac Refuelled is a very worthy game to your Xbox 360 game collection, and as Rare’s cheapest game to date, there’s almost no excuse to not get it if you are a 360 owner with access to Xbox Live.

 Gadget: JetPac Palm Case
The case itself is made of gray plastic and is shaped so that a Palm Pro or Palm III will slide snugly into place, held firmly at the base by two plastic tabs that fit into the two small holes at the base of the Palm.
I'm not the first person this has happened to, and it doesn't seem to impact performance, but it is disconcerting to shell out nearly thirty bucks for a case only to have it start eroding during the break-in period.
I noticed, however, that after having the edge of the case catch on chairs, couch arms, etc., the clip tension lessened to the degree that the case was occasionally dislodged from my side, sending my Palm clattering to the floor.

 JetPac To Fly Back To Earth??? // News
Registered at the German software ratings board USK just two days ago (February 6th), JetPac Refuelled would be the fourth instalment in the franchise, though any details beyond a title and being tagged as an Arcade game are currently unknown.
An absolute classic of the 8-bit era, JetPac was released in the days when Rare went by the name "Ultimate: Play the Game", and saw players fly around a single-screen world with the aim of rebuilding a spaceship and fuelling it for take-off.
Two further titles in the series were subsequently released, the first (Lunar JetMan) expanded the gameplay with a rover vehicle and the need to top up the jetpack's fuel, whilst the second (Solar JetMan) was developed by Zippo for the NES.
