There were also many popular games officially converted to the Electron from arcade machines ( including Crystal Castles, Tempest, Commando, Paperboy and Yie Ar Kung-Fu ) or other home computer systems ( including Impossible Mission, Jet Set Willy, The Way of the Exploding Fist, Tetris, The Last Ninja, Barbarian and SimCity ).

Along with the commercial growth has come the rise of video games also depicting graffiti, usually in a positive aspect – for example, the Jet Set Radio series ( 2000 – 2003 ) tells the story of a group of teens fighting the oppression of a totalitarian police force that attempts to limit the graffiti artists ' freedom of speech.

Following the original roots of modern graffiti as a political force came another game title, Marc Eckō's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure ( 2006 ), featuring a story line involving fighting against a corrupt city and its oppression of free speech, as in the Jet Set Radio series.

It saw the release of many new game series which have been considered creative and innovative, such as Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, and Shenmue, which was the most expensive game produced at the time .< ref >

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory ( JPL ) is a federally funded research and development center ( FFRDC ) owned by NASA and operated as a division of Caltech through a contract between NASA and Caltech.

The crew is made up of four unique characters: Jet Black, a former ISSP police officer who retired following a mob hit that cost him his arm, Spike Spiegel, a laid-back exiled hitman of the ruthless Red Dragons ' Syndicate, Faye Valentine, a beautiful amnesiac con artist who awakened into the future world after a lengthy period of cryogenic hibernation, and Radical Edward, a hyperactive and barefooted preteen girl with a reputation as a prolific computer hacker.

Jet Black is a former ISSP ( Inter-Solar System Police ) detective and is the owner of the Bebop.

This is especially prevalent in the character of Jet Black ( the archetypal ‘ good man in a bad world ’), a former cop who rails against the corruption of the police force but is forced into a semi lawless state of bounty hunting.

Some time later, Jet Jaguar is completed but the trio of inventors are knocked unconscious by the returning seatopian agents.

The agents's plan is to use Jet Jaguar to guide and direct Megalon to destroy whatever city Seatopia commands.

Megalon is finally released to the surface while Jet Jaguar is put under the control of the Seatopians and is used to guide Megalon to attack Tokyo with the Japan Self Defense Forces failing to defeat the monster.

The battle is roughly at a standstill between robot and monster, until Gigan arrives and both Megalon and Gigan double team Jet Jaguar.

While Megalon and Gigan are still remembered by fans and reused in many videogames, Jet Jaguar is sometimes seen as more of a joke or a spinoff of Ultraman.
