Jet Set Willy

The Good
A beautiful conversion - with a surprise for those familiar with the 48k Spectrum version- its got about seventeen extra screens, despite being made on a 32k machine. Smooth as any version, Roy Coates converted the original almost faithfully, the extra screens being amongst the best in the game. The in game sound is excellent, the graphics as good as the machine can do- and despite being in BW - it feels like it was well worth the wait for a conversion that feels like an upgrade. Many games of these sort of games work better on the keyboard and suffer from the infinite-death situations (at least if you have cheated to infinite life), and JSW is no exception. It is intriguing to see that this version kept those aspects in both his Manic Miner and JSW conversions- presumably feeling they were part of the charm of the originals.

The Bad
Die, once and keep dying in the same position..annoying now, annoying then.

The Bottom Line
No JSW fan should feel complete will they have played this version.
