| Before playing Jetpac, tape down the "ENTER" key with some adhesive tape. That helps a great deal because it fires continuously and all you have to do is MOVE.

If you position Jetman on the top right of the screen on the platform and leave him there, the aliens cannot kill him and your score will amass. (Richard Leadbetter in Crash issue 05 , Page 49) 4101 On the first three levels, it's better to stay at the top platform and fire left and right very rapidly, leaving the platform only to get fuel, jewels and gold. On level 4 you can stand on the left side of the platform in the middle and the aliens will not hit you - they crash and you get a lot of points. (Scott Cooper in Crash issue 05 , Page 52) 4113 Jetpac - so far on this game my highest score has been over ten million. It took me nearly two weeks, leaving the Spectrum on overnight (If he means he left it on for 2 weeks solid, he must have been able to cook eggs on the Speccy!! Gerard). At one time I had 45 men which was around the letter R or Sin the alphabet (after 9 the men change to symbols then letters). What I did though was not cheat! Not like so many others by standing on one of the platforms and sheet 4 and allowing the planes to crash into it, thus gaining thousands of points. NO, on the contrary, what I did when I left iton overnight was to reach the fifth sheet and position jetman on the top right platform until six aliens gathered beneath him. Then if you leave him, nothing happens - you don't gain points and you don't lose them. (Steve Lea in Crash issue 07 , Page 80) 7519 On the fourth screen if you stand on the middle platform then none of the aliens can touch you. So you can shoot away to your hearts content.

| If on Jetpac you manage to reach the fourth screen - the plane-like aliens - and then stand on the middle platform, the aliens will not be able to get to you and when they crash into the platforms you still score points. This bug allows the player to amass an enormous score without getting hit by an alien.
