Single Dad Building Sequel To Jetpack Video Game He Built As A Teenager

level-jetpackLook for Jetpack 2 in 1995.The message carried on the 1993 2D video game Jetpack, created by 16-year old Adam Pedersen and distributed by Software Creations on floppy disk, pledged an updated sequel to fans in a couple of years.19 years later, Pedersen, now a single dad, is working to deliver on that promise. He has taken to Kickstarter in an attempt to raise $40,000 by the end of July for Jetpack 2.As a 16 year old, Pedersen tells me he was a big fan of Lode Runner, Jumpman, and Boulder Dash and wanted to make a game like those.A game that I would enjoy playing, he describes, his voice filled with excitement.
