Watch the video, this looks awesome!

This is what should be happening on Live, everyone likes to play an old game but these remastered/original titles are far better imo.

Used to love playing Jetpac on the n64 in Donkey Kong. The original is included as well, this should be great for fans of geometry wars.

Only 400 points too.

Yeah I prefer new titles or tweaked. If I could get my money back on TMNT 1999 I would. It needed extra moves added, something other than continually hitting continue.

JetPac a spectrum classic!

makes me want an xbox360 now! :(


I have this on spectrum too, it was amazing, I spent a long long time building that rocket. It was so sparkly for the time.

edit: O wow just looked at screens it uses the original laoding screen from the spectrum :)
 
No you just need points, you can get em via prepaid card or from xbox.com in your account setup.

You only need gold to play online.

I remember the VIC20, it was the poorer cousin to the C64... I had Jetpac back then too - class game, but I wouldn't want to play the retro verion as it would spoil my memories of how great the C64 graphics were ;)

Yup, played Jet Pac to death on a rubber keyboard 48k speccy, great to see titles like this. The retro version imo is nearly an exact clone of the 'proper' version. Interesting to find out that Ultimate who originally developed this title and other great titles, such as Atic Atac, Sabre Wulf etc are now Rare and still producing excellent games :)

More Retro games please m$

The Vic20 came out before the C64. It was the Commodore plus/4 that was the poor cousin. What a load of rubbish that was. Anyone remember Blitz on the Vic20 or The Count?
