Jet Set Willy: Rooms
built 605 days ago
Jet Set Willy: The Final Frontier was really Jet Set Willy 2. The original for Spectrum had a much smaller mansion (roughly 50-60 rooms), but when ported to Amstrad CPC the designers decided to expand the game, doubling the number of rooms. Later, the expanded version was ported back to Spectrum, and from then on was considered "Jet Set Willy 2". Also, there were other versions, at least three, that featured completely new maps and rooms, but apparently were only released for the Spectrum.

Jet Set Willy X is a game for Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer, playable on emulators. It is heavily inspired by Jet Set Willy. There are no guardians and ropes, but the animation is twice as fast, absolutely smooth, and there is a 2-channel background tune. The rooms are 20 characters high instead of 16, and can have a more complicated combination of graphics characters. There are 69 rooms and over 390 items to collect.

There's another Spanish variant of Jet Set Willy, released by Ventamatic. It's identical to the original JSW except that the colour-code text, the title-screen text and the scrolly are in Spanish. The room-names are the English originals, and the four official bugs are not fixed.

This is a rewrite of the legendary Jet Set Willy in Java, using the data from the original game to construct the rooms and sprites. It is currently a fairly reasonable copy: ropes are the least good feature at the moment.

JSW64 is a development of the Jet Set Willy 128 idea, but it uses the extra memory of the 128k Spectrums in a different way. Where JSW128 can have up to 256 simple rooms, JSW64 can have 64 or 128 rather more sophisticated rooms.

Nigel Fishwick (aka Fishyfish) is writing a JSW game called Willy Works. "The game documents Willy's purchase of a large factory and the terrible state of affairs the previous owners have left for him to sort out..." About six rooms done as of 28th January 2004; screenshots added on 29th January 2004.
