This is a port to the NES/Famicom of the renown
[jetpac](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetpac) game from Ultimate Play the Game.
You can find a ROM to play the game in the [releases
page](https://github.com/mssola/jetpac.nes/releases). Read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) file if you want to make any changes,
report an issue or make a suggestion.
## The game
The game is a shooter in which you have to re-assemble your ship's parts and
fill it with fuel, all while killing enemies that keep popping up. In the game
the controls are as follows:
| Button | Action |
|:----------------------------------------------:|:-----------------------|
| Start & Select | Pause/Resume the game |
| A & Arrow Up | Thrust |
| Arrow Left & Arrow Right | Fly or walk left/right |
| Arrow Down | Hover |
| B | Shoot |
Other than that, read the [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md) file for details on
what's different from the original and what to expect from this port.
## License
The original game was developed and published by Ultimate Play the Game and
released for the ZX Spectrum and VIC-20 in 1983 and the BBC Micro in 1984. Thus,
the original idea is not mine, and I only did the porting to the NES/Famicom
platform. Similarly, all the assets and the cover image are just sloppy ports
that I did from the original game. Thus, all credits for the original idea and
artistic choices are entirely on the original authors, not me.
