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:

## 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. This port is released under the
