Jetpac set for takeoff on XBLA

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted Mar 23, 2007 11:09 am PT

Rare's ZX Spectrum shoot-'em-up is Refuelled and ready for worldwide release this coming Wednesday.

Microsoft has strung together four consecutive weeks of Xbox Live Arcade releases, including Alien Hominid HD, Worms, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and the software giant today confirmed it was going for five straight. Next Wednesday is now confirmed as the release date for Jetpac Refuelled, Rare's update to its 1983 arcade-style shooter for the ZX Spectrum.

Jetpac Refuelled is a remake of one of Rare's earliest efforts, with 128 levels, high-definition visuals, simultaneous multiplayer action, and the Xbox 360 standard achievements and leaderboards. Players will also have the option of playing the original Jetpac instead of the remake.

Jetpac Refuelled is set for a worldwide release this Wednesday at 2 a.m. PDT. The game is rated E for Everyone and will sell for 400 Microsoft Points ($5).

    Yeah, looks cool and nice but probably won't buy it... and I agree with everyone here.. I guess we all can't wait for DOUBLE DRAGON!

    I'll probably give this one a miss. Not too keen but I guess somehow I'll eventually come and play the trial.

    i dont know about jetpack so much, but yea an rpg wouldnt kill em. I'd love to see one of the old DragonQuest/Warrior games on XBLA. But please not another reiteration of FF 1. That game has been rereleased more than any game EVER.

    The Catan interview on IGN a couple weeks back said "middle to end of March", so that's apparently not going to happen. Not that I'm terribly surprised.

    Sweet, it looks awesome. I have never heard of the original game. in fact I didn't even know Rare was around in 1983! But this game looks really cool.
