Jetpack Christmas Special (game review)



Game: Jetpack Christmas Special
Developer: Adam Pedersen
Publisher: Software Creations
Platform : Dos
Year: 1993
Genre: Platform game
Players: single - multiplayer

This game, being within a Christmas tematic, it plays differently than the original game. You colect presents and not gems. You have to watch Santa scream in agony if you fail the level. The game has a level editor wich you can make levels.

DosBox turbo config example :

mount d: /storage/sdcard1/dos/
d:
cd dooms
doom

Controls :
- dirrectional key with the d-pad. You can use "Y" as a on the d-pad as a crate destroy weapon and "x" as jetpack, who destroy crates. He doesen't use the fuel of the jetpack.
The enemies know, at least the robot, were you are, which, is annoyng. I was in the first level and if i were not using the jetpack, the robot enemy was circle around my spot. It doesen't mean the levels cannot be beaten.

Cycles :
- 2000 or less

Happy New Year 2017 !

Enable pc speaker support, if the game supports only that




 Activate "Enable pc speaker support" if you want your game to have a speaker support. You know, the usuall bip-bop type sound you will hear. If the game runs only with the speaker support, you will not hear anything in game, if you not activate "Enable pc speaker support".


 Or, with making your own .cfg file for the respective game, write true and not false in "pcspeaker=false".

White screen appears for a few seconds when launching DosBox turbo



White screen appears for a few seconds when launching DosBox turbo. No problem for DosBox turbo manager.
The developer has told us that this appears, but it is not detrimental to DosBox turbo. I have not found any problem.
