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).
## 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. The controls
are as follows:
| Button | Action |
|:----------------------------------------------:|:---------------------------------------------------|
| <kbd>Start</kbd> | Pause/Resume the game |
| <kbd>Select</kbd> | Select 1/2 player game on the title screen |
| <kbd>A</kbd> | Throttle |
| <kbd>B</kbd> | Shoot |
| <kbd>Arrow Left</kbd> & <kbd>Arrow Right</kbd> | Move horizontally (walk or throttle when airborne) |
| <kbd>Arrow up</kbd> | Throttle |
| <kbd>Arrow down</kbd> | *Not used* |
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.
