JetSet Willy for the Sinclair Z88. Authored by Dominic Morris.


Title: Jet Set Willy z88 (v1.01)
Author: Matthew Smith (converted by Dominic Morris)
Uploader: Dominic Morris
Type: z88 Game
Short: Conversion of the classic Spectrum Game

 

Welcome to the z88 conversion of the classic Spectrum game written by
Matthew Smith. This conversion was made by Dominic Morris in July 1998,
and represents the game graphics and sound exactly, though colour, sadly,
is missing!

 

The aim of the game is to collect all of the debris left over after the
party the night before you can get to bed - Maria your housekeeper will
not let you sleep beforehand!

 

The program is written to be run from BASIC, so after unzipping the
archive using Garry Lancasters' unzip utility, enter BBC BASIC and then
you can load and run the program using CH."JSW.BAS" and you're thrust
into familiar territory!!

 

The playing area of Jet Set Willy is too large to fit onto the z88 screen,
so there are two display methods. The first is similar to that pioneered
in Sokoban - a vertically scrolling display which follows Willy as he
moves about the room. The second method is one where the entire screen
is compressed so that it can be displayed on the z88, this results in some
slightly strange looking graphics at time, but it does enable you to see
the entire room and hence spot the guardians.

Additional information:

 

 

 

Due to the idiosyncracies of the z88 keyboard (when compared to the
idiosyncracies of the Spectrum keyboard!) the keys are predfined as
follows:

Left:  O
Right: P
Jump:  SPACE
Pause: H

To toggle the music on/off you may use ENTER, note that that this only
turns off the ingame music - not the sound effects or title tune, to do
this set the Sound option in the panel to N - note, this is checked only
when the triangle is displayed, so to correct a wrongly set situation
start a game and then quit back to the main menu using ESCape.

To aid the seeing the rooms, there are two special z88 features, the first
is toggled by the DELete key and inverts the screen (black on white to
white on black), the second is the "minimode" mentioned above to see the
entire room on the z88 screen.

To quit a game and exit back to the intro screen press ESC. From here
as well as pressing ENTER to start the game you may press B to exit to
back to BASIC where you can poke the game forever or alternately load
in a new set of levels!

 

Cheat:

 

So you wanna cheat to do you?
-----------------------------

Yes, in what must be world first, I'm supplying some pokes with the
game - actually it isn't a world first, Gulpman by Campbell systems came
with pokes to define the keys!

For infinite lives:           19108,0
For immortality:              20040,0
For n lives:                  18315,n

NB. that any more than 7 lives is indicated by a C - cheating! Also note
that the immortality poke is just protection from guardians, coming in
contact with a killer object will cause a few "interesting" problems!

After poking execute a CALL 18176 to start the game again - do NOT run
the program!
