About This File
I am thrilled to announce the release of Carl Paterson's third Jet Set Willy game: "JeT SeT JnR aNd ThE CuRsE oF ThE PhArAoH" 🙂.
It is the first JSW game in which the protagonist is not Willy, but... his son! Yes, the years have passed by and Junior is not only a fine young man, but also an intrepid explorer, just like his dad. The two were taking part in an expedition to Egypt where they raided multiple tombs despite warnings that stealing the items carries a vengeful curse. And that curse has now struck Jet Set Junior who awakens in darkness surrounded by hieroglyph-covered walls, transported to the time of the pharaohs. Will you help him find his way home?
Please refer to the Readme to check out the whole background story. And then embark on this new adventure, where you will face underground tunnels and flooded chambers, spirit guards, cursed tombs, flesh-eating scarabs, magic pools, flowers of fear and interdimensional generators. Remember that the All-Seeing Eye is following you... or is it Hatshepsut's gaze??? Collect all 256 cursed items, find the mysterious queen and help Willy get back to his reality through the Toilet of Time!
You can achieve this without losing a single life... if you are an incarnation of the mighty ancient warriors... or if you save and reload snapshots or use Rollback.
The game features:
- 64 newly designed rooms;
- Mostly new and some modified guardian sprites;
- A difficulty level higher than in Carl's previous two games;
- A custom-made title screen, custom font and other enhancements;
- A new title-screen tune and 13 new in-game tunes, all of them 128 bytes long, never before used in a JSW game for the Spectrum;
- Something extra at the completion of the game.
The ZIP file includes the game in TAP and TZX format (v. 2 - this is the first public release), the Readme and info about the game's credits.
Please download, enjoy, and may Amun-Ra and Osiris protect you during your quest! 😁
