This is a port to the NES/Famicom of the renown
[jetpac](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetpac) game from Ashby Computers and
Graphics Limited (trading as 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 |
|:----------------------------------------------:|:-----------------------|
| <kbd>Start</kbd> & <kbd>Select</kbd> | Pause/Resume the game |
| <kbd>A</kbd> & <kbd>Arrow Up</kbd> | Thrust |
| <kbd>Arrow Left</kbd> & <kbd>Arrow Right</kbd> | Fly or walk left/right |
| <kbd>Arrow Down</kbd> | Hover |
| <kbd>B</kbd> | 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 Ashby Computers and Graphics
Limited (trading as 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.
