JSW Games making use of "Entrance to Hades"

Recommended Posts

I'll follow this up in a few days. :)

 

For the moment is there a convenient list somewhere perhaps of JSW games that make use of 'Entrance to Hades' ?

 

By this I mean the player can enter and leave without entering the more usual IDS syndrome. It does not matter if the player is required or not to actually visit said room.

 

I'd be interested primarily in those using the 48K engine or derivates of that, but JSWED 64/128 variants are OK too. Similar with JSW2 please and (the few?) games based on an edited Software Projects JSW2 game.

 

 

 

EDIT... Non ZX versions are OK to mention too. Pretty sure either the original JSW or JSW2 for the CBM had an exit or entrance here on the lower left.

Richard Hallas's classic "Join The Jet-Set!" has two rooms: a slightly redesigned "Entrance to Hades" (06) and "Hades" (07) (to the right of it, designed in a similar style).

 

There's also "Below Hades" (50) and "A far cry from Hades" (30), both designed in different styles.

 

So, come to think of it, "Hades" makes quite a significance presence in "Join The Jet-Set!"  :o .

 

The screenshots of all these rooms can be seen here.

I'm interested in this too- seems like such an opportunity to use this room. It's the same as the whole going-down-the-toilet in the c64 version of JSW II which leads to the sewers and ultimately to be trapped

:) Welcome!

 

From memory it takes you to something like "Now you are in it!" which is a trap due to the floors being conveyors. I seem to recall there were exits on these rooms too but not reachable due to the conveyor effect, if they were merely there for the sake of it or not I could not say. There does not appear to be an easy way to disable conveyor 'action' in this version to manually explore those areas.

Thanks Danny! :thumbsup: I remember 'way back' both "The On Licence" and "The Object Shop" hehe.
