Editing Jetpac (section)

==Legacy==
After the game's release, ''Jetpac'' was parodied in a long-running ''[[Crash (magazine)|Crash]]'' comic strip named ''Lunar Jetman''. The strip, designed by John Richardson, lasted from July 1984 to October 1991 and gained popular reception from readers. To develop the comic, photographs had to be processed manually on a photomechanical tone and then transferred to paper, being fully colorized in the late 1980s.<ref name=history/>

''Jetpac'' was followed by two sequels: ''[[Lunar Jetman]]'' (1983) and ''[[Solar Jetman]]'' (1990). The latter was not released for the ZX Spectrum, and a version for the Commodore 64 was finished but never released following disappointing sales of the original [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version.<ref>{{cite web|title=Solar Jetman - 1991 storm|year=1991 |url=http://www.gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/solar-jetman/|publisher=Games That Weren't|access-date=3 August 2015}}</ref>

Since its release, ''Jetpac'' has been included in a number of other games developed by [[Rare (company)|Rare]]. The game is playable in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', where it can be unlocked to play in [[Cranky Kong]]'s laboratory after obtaining 15 Banana Medals. Beating Cranky Kong's high score rewards the player with the Rareware Coin, which is necessary to beat the game. The game was retained in the April 2015 [[Virtual Console]] re-release of ''Donkey Kong 64'' on the [[Wii U]], despite the property being owned by Microsoft since its 2002 acquisition of Rare.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uk.gamespot.com/n64/action/donkeykong64/hints.html |title=Donkey Kong 64 |publisher=CNET |work=GameSpot |access-date=30 May 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060613215708/http://uk.gamespot.com/n64/action/donkeykong64/hints.html |archive-date=13 June 2006 }}</ref> An [[Video game remake|enhanced remake]] of ''Jetpac'', entitled ''[[Jetpac Refuelled]]'', was released on the [[Xbox Live Arcade]] in March 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/j/jetpacrefuelledxboxlivearcade/default.htm |title=Jetpac Refuelled |publisher=Microsoft |work=Xbox.com |access-date=25 February 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080222031535/http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/j/jetpacrefuelledxboxlivearcade/default.htm |archive-date=22 February 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Microsoft's [[Electronic Entertainment Expo 2015|E3 2015]] press conference unveiled the compilation title ''[[Rare Replay]]'', which has a selection of thirty games from Rare's lifetime game library, including the original ''Jetpac'' and its two sequels and remake, making the ''Jetman'' series the most represented in the collection.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.xbox.com/2015/06/xbox-rare-celebrates-its-30th-anniversary-with-a-massive-30-game-collection|title=Rare Celebrates Its 30th Anniversary with a Massive 30-Game Collection|work=Xbox News|date=15 June 2015|access-date=19 August 2015}}</ref>
