	Your Spectrum 04 - Jet Set Willy
		Most of the objects cached in Jet Set Willy are attainable, but there are some which, even when working from carefully scaled maps of each room, seem impossible to retrieve without sacrificing a life.
		The first person to finish JSW received a prize of Champagne and glasses from Software Projects, but to prove your bona fides you had first to tell the company how many hidden objects there were and what happened when you then tried to go to bed.
		Jet Set Willy is a great game to play, and from a programmer's point of view the ideas are structured magnificently.

		The game was a great success, and a later sequel called Jet Set Willy provided more of the same, but in a free-ranging structure where you could wander from room to room and had to plan out your route across a massive game structure.
		Jet Set Willy 2 is a later version of Jet Set Willy, rather than a completely new game.
		Not only has he done a perfect job of the porting the game, but he has also provided an extremely comprehensive desktop design tool which lets you create your own games completely from scratch should you so wish, or modify the existing levels.

	Jet-Set Willy in Space
		Needless to say, the old TARDIS that Willy bought was decidedly dodgy, and broke down upon arrival at a space station orbiting the planet Endor.
		But all is not lost: before Willy landed, his initial scans of the area indicated the presence of a powerful intergalactic matter transporter somewhere on the planet's surface.
		Foremost among these is Arsen Torbarina, author of the superb JSW Ultimate Fan Page Web site, who was particularly enthusiastic about it and devoted an entire Web page to the game, claiming it to be the best of the 'unofficial' JSW games.

		Jet Set Willy is a computer game for the ZX Spectrum, a computer released by Sinclair Research of Cambridge, UK, in 1982.
		Willy inexplicably finds himself in his bath at 7am, and decides after his heavy night to go to bed.
		This isn't as simple as it sounds for Willy, whose task isn't made any easier by the ducks, flying pigs, floating monsters, high-velocity darts and ancient scrolls which seek to put him off - all of these things and a good many more send him to his death.

	The Nonowt eZine X - Reviews - Jet Set Willy
		M anic Miner was one of last year's classic Spectrum games and now programmer Matthew Smith has brought Willy back again in an equally zany sequel, Jet Set Willy.
		Willy is living the decadent life after striking it rich down the mine but his housekeeper revolts after one party too many and will not let Willy go to bed until he has cleared all the mess.
		So you have to guide the debauched playboy round his enormous mansion full of lethal traps and the strange blend of domestic and diabolic mayhem we might expect from Smith on previous form.

	Sinclair ZX Spectrum software
		Coverage of JSW in particular continued in detail for months in several magazines, as readers (many of whom were hackers or programmers in those days) took great delight in finding new 'pokes' to make the games do unexpected things.
		All told, there are now several dozen new JSW games, most or all of which can be found at the JSW Remakes site; I'm afraid I haven't really kept track of them, as I seem to have got JSW out of my system for the time being.
		JSW is 'one of those games': if you are of an age to have played it when it was originally released, you're likely to remember it fondly today.

		In order to meet health and safety regulations, Willy must collect all the lost items and present them to the safety inspector before the factory can open for business.

		His housekeeper, Maria, however, takes a very dim view of all this revelry, and finally after a particularly boisterous thrash she puts her foot down.
		When the last of the louts disappears down the drive in his Aston Martin, all Willy can think about is crashing out in his four-poster.

	Willy's Universe
		This way anyone can make and add their own levels to the game (hopefully this will result in a game 'Universe' which keeps expanding as more screens are added by Jet Set Willy fans).
		About 35 screens have been designed for Willy's Universe so far (mostly by Peter Brooks) and these are the foundation around which any further screens will be added.
		Sometimes when switching from one screen to the next Willy's walking falls out of phase with his location and he becomes able to walk part of the way into some blocks.

	Planet Sinclair: The Sinclair Industry: Programmers: Matthew Smith
		Although Matthew Smith produced only a handful of games during his short career as a programmer of Spectrum games, two of these happened to be arguably the most famous and influential games ever released on the Spectrum - Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy.
		He took Manic Miner with him and it was republished by his new publishers, although this caused a fair amount of legal arguments.
		His first and only game for Software Projects, Jet Set Willy, was a sequel to Manic Miner and proved an enormous success.

	Your Spectrum 06 - Jet Set Willy
		However, for those not interested in the finer points of actually playing the game and who want to see the final sequence of events when you have collected all of the objects, wait no longer.
		JSW is actually simple, as you MERGE the first bit of Basic, CLEAR 32767, then LOAD CODE and restart the tape.
		The Attic 'feature' is really an accidental consequence of a faulty byte in the sprite data, and you've probably found the way you can lose all of your lives (even infinite ones) by dying in the wrong place at the edge of the screen.
