About This File
Jet-Set Willy II, remade for Windows computers. created by Dan Richardson (code, additional graphics), Andy "loafjaw" Noble (graphics) and Matthew "4-mat" Simmonds (music)
this is quite rare to come across on the internet if you don't know where to look (which is quite a shame as it's absolutely excellent), so i've decided to put it here. this is a .7z file containing three .zip files, once again complete and unmodified.
v1.02 - "Windows Edition" - this is the version you'll be playing. a lot of the graphics from Andy Noble's JSW remake are reused here, and all of the music from that remake is reused (including the 7 unused "spare" tracks + a new track)
v1.0 - "Original Port" - this is a 100% faithful port of the original ZX Spectrum version complete with the ZX Spectrum graphics and music. not much else to say
v1.0 - "Game Builder" - this is the room editor which was used to create all the rooms in this remake. to use, put it in the directory of either version (the Windows Edition or the Original Port)
from the readme file of the Windows Edition:

:- ORIGINAL AND REMAKE
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%The original version of this game appeared on the ZX
Spectrum in 1985 and was written by Derrick P. Rowson.
It was a follow up to the original Jet Set Willy which
was written by Matthew Smith.This has been re-written for the PC using Blitz Basic.
All of the gameplay remains true to the original but
the graphics and sound have improved thanks to Andy
Noble and Matt Simmonds, both of whom made the original
Jet Set Willy for the PC, which can be found at

:- GAMEPLAY
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%The goal is simple, you must collect all of the objects
around Willy's mansion before Maria, Willy's
housekeeper, will let you go to bed. But wait.. It
seems different form last time. It's a lot bigger! In
fact, there are now 130+ rooms to explore! Better make
good use of that "save" function.
