Jet Set Willy

Yes, this is the Atari ST game and not the original running in emulation.

Who hasn't played with Mr Willy in one form or another over the decades - surely the most respected series of 8-bit platformers ever to grace our CRT screens? Well, here is the Atari ST's attempt at Jet Set Willy which is a perfect replica of the original and mimics the gameplay without any unnecessary bloatware "improvements". It's completely authentic and guarantees the same level of entertainment you experienced back in 1984.

Although finished, JSW was never released as Software Projects probably felt that people's expectations had changed since 1984. I can see their point but it's still a massive shame because I feel the produced something authentic and extremely playable. Don't believe me? Then look up. A polished original gem.

Okay, enough of my talking because now it's time to help Master Willy clean up his messy mansion. He is extremely tired and strangely hasn't realised that he could simply sack Maria and just get in bed... Doh!
