JetSet Willy 2 aka "The Final Frontier" for the Amstrad CPC range of machines, written by D.P.Rowson & S.Wetherill
Two original tape (.cdt) versions are provided:
V1 is the first original release and has the keypad code. It should be noted this does not run properly on the 6128 machines.
V2 is the later / re-release version. This is compatible with the 464,664 and 6128. There is no keypad.
I'd recommend using V2 in most cases, although the keypad codes (all seven pages) of them are included in the download if required.
The game is about identical to the Spectrum version, which is no surprise as this version was written first then ported across to the Spectrum. The 'in game' tune is different but the game play is much the same.
The scrolling message reads as follows:
