Jumpjet

Moby ID: 4018

Description

This is a nice and simple game. You pilot a plane, and you just blow other planes up, while performing your mission of blowing other things up. For those familiar with old-school arcade games, think of Jumpjet as a combination of Defender and Scramble.

This is basically an arcade game, on your computer

The Good
This game is very simple, you simply play a plane. You control it's altitude, speed, and you can turn it around. You can also fire. There are only about three enemies planes of two sizes and tanks on the ground. You basically fly, and shoot all of your enemies both in front of you, behind you, and on the ground. You have three lives. Basically this is simply a mindless action game.

The Bad
The fact that it's so simple. There appears to be no actual goal in the game or levels. There's no story, either shown in the game or with attached documentation and that type of thing always annoys me. The graphics are very simple, with the background simply consisting of diagonal lines representing mountains.

The Bottom Line
This is a great game to play on the go, or as you're trying to do something else. There's no real point to it, just a simple time killer. Give it a try, it takes almost no hard drive space!
