I've noticed that style of music is in a lot of flash games but I don't know what you are thinking of, so whatever. If you want it just email me at dkalnz@hotmail.com.

Jetpack runs great under that and there are lots of configurable emulation options. The only problem I had was the sound is about half a second behind. As for the other levels, sorry I have no idea what that was talking about now! Dan:

I was recently reading the hintbook and for # 18 (Take a Good Look) I noticed it was mentioned, the "sequel level: Who Turned Out The Light" and that it can be found on other BBSs. I know BBSs no longer exist, but is there somewhere we can find these levels? I downloaded all the ones off adeptsoftware.com and It's not there. I also noticed that in the prologue it says "You may even find a few extra levels that wouldn't fit into this version, made by Adam Pedersen and the original Jetpack Level Team." Do these levels even exist? If so, are they available to get? Hey Adam, I have a question.

If you see this then here goes. To beat "Its all Greek to me", all you do is jump on the edge of the brick with the spear, you dont have to touch the middle and the spear won't kill you. There is also a way to phase through the bricks underneath but that is harder. Abi. If you see this then here goes.

Another program, DOSBox, works really well and you can run jetpack in a window with it, so you can do other stuff too. If you have Vista, you HAVE to use DOSBox in order for it to work at all.

I was one when this game came out and I had "The Encyclopedia of Games: 1000 Games" and it had the demo and i played it a million million times. The level i remember the most was when me and my bro could never figure out the mission impossible one. (I was 5 or 6) and when a lucky fuel spawned it was awesome. I remember making levels on it and losing them because I couldn't save them in the demo. (I made a really sweet Indiana Jones level). I love the Christmas Edition and especially the Garden one with the pink boxes and the marbles rolling around on the bottom. I remember beating the chambers one for the first time and it was so hard! Yeah, I also remember when I was stupid, and I didn't know how to place the door in the editor, and when i figured it out finally i was ecstatic. I even remember what I had for dinner that night. This game owns any other DOS game in the world. The only one that came remotely close was Lemmings, but Jetpack still won the gold. Rock on dude!!! I’m pretty much the same as Abi.
