This week Sloan is challenging Jody to a game of Jetpac from Ultimate Play the Game, the company what would take the ZX Spectrum world by storm and then leave abruptly. Only to carve out another successful career as Rare (you know, Goldeneye).

Released in May 1983 (NOT 1982 like I said in the video), the game was available for the ZX Spectrum, the version I'm playing, and the VIC-20. A version for the BBC followed in 1984. And I did a remake in Unity!    • Jetpack Retro Remake in Unity Part 1 - Pla...  

From Wikipedia:
Jetpac is a shooter video game 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. It is the first game to be released by Ultimate Play the Game, the company which later became Rare. The game follows Jetman as he must rebuild his rocket in order to explore different planets, while simultaneously defending against hostile aliens. It was written by Ultimate co-founder Chris Stamper with graphics designed by his brother, Tim Stamper. Reviewers praised Jetpac's presentation and gameplay, and it won "Game of the Year" at the Golden Joystick Awards in 1983.
