Overview
Description

Take the helm of the Acme Interstellar Transport Company and travel from planet to planet, assembling rockets and gathering precious resources. Use your Hydrovac Jet Pac to lift cargo and your Quad Photon Laser Phasers to fend off hostile aliens. Manage fuel pods, collect gems, and master precise landings to become the richest pilot in the universe. Simple controls hide a deep challenge that rewards skillful timing and strategic planning.

Jetman returns to the stars in his most ambitious quest yet. After the Golden Warpship is shattered by Space Pirates, you must pilot the Jetpod, refuel at the Federation Mothership, and recover the scattered fragments across twelve labyrinthine planets. Survival hinges on precise navigation, fuel management, and combat against hidden threats. Reassemble the legendary ship and confront the ultimate interstellar foe in this classic action experience, now available through the Rare Replay collection.
