I also downloaded and bought Jetpac and was pleased to see that my first play after this many years gave me a slightly higher high score than Bill!
"color overlap and unintentional blending" were simple called "Colour Clashing" in the 80´s as I remember correctly. It feels like an emulated game, will investigate further to see if it is not a pixel perfect conversion after all. It´s running a little too smooth to actually be Spectrum I say. But the graphical glitches and Colour Clashing does seem very genuine.
A great game and definitely worth getting is my opinion! The updated game is a little easier since there is more room to move about and you don´t bang into the nasties as quickly as on the "speccy original".
It strikes me as a cross between Nodes/Arc of Yeshod and defender. :)
