#2I've been waiting for this since 1996! After ten years without any sequel I asked Adam in an email if I could make a free tribute sequel since it had appeared to become abandonware and got this reply:
"Hi, We are planning to make it but haven't had an opportunity to start it. Maybe in a couple years.."
A few years later it seemed really puzzling, and frankly I thought he was in denial that the sequel would ever be made. So excited to see this finally come to fruition!

#3Jetpack is my favourite childhood computer game. This is awesome.

#4I remember this game! I made countless levels messing around in the editor, it was really the most intuitive level editor I've ever used.

#5I am personally glad that techcrunch chose to highlight the fact that Adam is a single dad. Often in our industry we glorify and highlight the college lifestyle of a bro-grammer. It is refreshing to read the experiences of a developer that has a life outside the domain of software development, and discusses their attempt to be creative, perform, and possibly innovate. This I think is a healthier approach for a population that will ultimately age, marry,
and possibly have children. A population that, as they age, will ultimately struggle to further realize a desire to stay creative, productive, and relative in youth centric world without forgoing a healthy family life-balance.

#6I was disappointed to find out this was the 1993 MSDOS game Jetpack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetpack_(video_game)), not the 1983 Jetpac from Ultimate Play The Game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetpac). Probably reveals something about my age...

Another (even older) game with a dirt simple level editor.
Repton for the BBC.

It was the first game I ever made a level for actually.
