Jetpac Refuelled

Jetpac Refuelled is an arcade-style shooter video game developed by Rare and published by Microsoft Studios. It was released worldwide on the Xbox Live Arcade service on March 28, 2007. The game is the fourth instalment of the Jetman series and a remake of Ultimate Play the Game's 1983 ZX Spectrum game, Jetpac. The game follows Jetman as he attempts to rebuild his rocket to explore different planets while defending himself from hostile aliens.

Details of the game were leaked in February 2007, shortly before Rare announced development one month later. During the development process, Rare attempted to ensure that the game did not feel too similar to the original Jetpac, while keeping the core mechanics. The game received mostly favourable reviews upon release. Critics praised the updated graphics and gameplay, but criticised the game's repetitiveness and multiplayer mode. It was rereleased as part of Rare's 2015 Xbox One compendium compilation Rare Replay, along with all three original Jetman games.
