In its original Spectrum version, Jet Set Willy has a clear separation between the game engine and the data describing the rooms. The rooms themselves are stored in a straightforward format, with no compression. It is therefore relatively easy to create customised versions of the game.

As a follow-up to the item about 'Manic Miner' and 'Jet Set Willy', poking around has revealed all manner of homebrew, adapted, and modified slants on those classic ZX Spectrum games. I particularly enjoy the Java-based 'Platform 1', since you just need to load the webpage to play it - put your highscores in comments?, if you dare, i'm No.17 currently :P And there's even a 'Jet Set Willy' hack with all-new level design devoted to The Beatles and The KLF (scroll down for info). And as a final aside, this Matthew Smith-related story is amazing - it's like you're Indiana Jones finding the Holy Grail, only the Holy Grail is.. 'Attack Of The Mutant Zombie Flesh-Eating Chickens From Mars - Starring Zappo The Dog'?!? And there's a vicious twist.

A port of Jet Set Willy to the Atari 8-bit family of computers was released by Tynesoft in 1987. It received generally poor reviews,[7][8] and has since been called "the lousiest version of JSW ever".[9] However, this version features completely different music (by Rob Hubbard), which is generally held to be one of its stronger points.[9] Like the Spectrum version, it was impossible to complete but for different reasons. Some of the legitimate items that were needed caused the player to lose a life (e.g. the bottles in the Off Licence). Krzysztof Dudek ported the original ZX Spectrum code to the 8-bit Atari in 2007, creating a much more authentic version of the game than the Tynesoft version, but kept the Rob Hubbard soundtrack.

Sendy has announced a new project called JSW: Role Reversal, in which you play Maria, who is made to tidy the house by a demonic Willy! It's based on the game-engine from Vidar Eriksen's Maria vs. some bastards. All the rooms are written as of 4th June 2003, leaving just the finer points to be tweaked - it's 99% complete as of 13th March 2004. But, as of 25th March 2005, "RR needs more stuff doing to it, because it's planned to have a special feature and a loading program." As of 12th May 2005, she's "waiting on [Vidar Eriksen (Erix1)] for the special routine for this program" - a loader that allows you to select an alternate colour-scheme (12th October 2005). The other sticking-points (as of 28th November 2005) are a need to add Erix1's loading-graphics, and to write the Readme (see Message 5137 of the Group).
