Jetpac<\/a> (1983) by Ultimate Play The Game. Lunar Jetman<\/a> was the superior sequel but Jetpac had the better loading screen.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 RIP Clive Sinclair<\/a>. Products made by Sinclair Research Ltd. were among the first electronic gadgets I owned: the Sinclair Scientific calculator<\/a> which compelled you to learn Reverse Polish notation before you could use it; the ZX Spectrum<\/a> computer, of course; and the pocket TV<\/a> that came bundled with the computer, a machine with such feeble reception that it only ever worked outdoors. I’ve still got my Spectrum computer, and it still worked the last time I plugged it in although it’s hardly worth keeping when emulators proliferate. Spectacol<\/a> for Android is a good example of the latter.
