If your Dad's been bragging about his video games prowess in the 1980s, grab Jetpac Refuelled when it appears on Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday and challenge him to put his thumb where his mouth is.

Jetpac Refuelled is a remake of the 1983 Jetpac game originally released for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and later available on the BBC micro and the Commodore Vic-20.

The 2D space shooter has been 'reimagined' by Rare with new graphics, weapons and enemies, plus 128 levels and simultaneous multi-player gaming. But give Dad a chance and let him start by trying the original Jetpac mode included in the new game.

Jetpac Refuelled will be released this Wednesday, priced at a modest 400 Microsoft Points ($US5/$A6.67).
