Jetpac (1983)


 The first game released by Ultimate Play the Game, later to be known as Rare. It's a simple but compulsively playable shooting game. You fly around the screen, picking up pieces of your spaceship, assembling them, then filling it with fuel, shooting enemies the whole time. After the first level, you just have to pick up the fuel, but every few levels you have to build a new spaceship. It's very smooth and fast-moving.

If there's a major downside to it, it's just that the layout of the screen never changes, with the three platforms always being in the same positions.
