Jet Set Willy

Miner Willy is back!

Who hasn't played with Mr Willy on their old computer - surely the most respected series of 8-bit platformers ever to grace CRT screens? Well, here is the Atari ST's attempt at Jet Set Willy which is actually a perfect replica of the original game fully mimicking the gameplay without any unnecessary bloatware "improvements".

Although finished, JSW was never released. I guess Software Projects felt that people's expectations had changed since 1984? I see their point but it's still a massive shame because I feel they had produced something timeless so always welcome. What, you don't believe me? Take a look at the animation above - what a gem!!

I think older ZX Spectrum guys will enjoy this incredibly authentic platformer on their Atari STs!! What a brilliant game it is. However, I should go and help a tired Master Willy clean up his messy mansion, wish me luck...
