Jet Set Willie

I test-played this just a bit, but I did certainly notice, how much nice details you have put there! Like that delayded "sliding colour" of room names and great Norman Sword presents title screen! The neat yellow-blue-loading-bars sync´ing with the title tune! Was this feature ever used in any other Spectrum game? The fast speed made this to feel like brand new totally different (great) game! There was one problem with this game, though. It would have made all the other Spectrum games of the day look and feel crap!  😂
Congratulations!! 🙂
That blue miner picture looks familiar, where it is from? 🙂

Do you mean the author of some special version or the author of those above ones? According to world of spectrum, the inlay author of above mentioned Bug-Byte games is Roger Tissyman.

This roles reversed project just got a new twist as Erix1 appeared from nowhere. 😶
Welcome Erix1! 🙂
Sendy, my loading screen$ is not ready yet. It´s a slow job, I am using ZX Paintbrush (have forgotten most how to use it) and drawing it pixel by pixel with laptop´s user-unfriendly built-in mouse. At yesterday, I arranged time to draw a bit more to it.

I haven´t got much time lately. After my last post I had time to change Maria a bit, but she´s in very unfinished state now.

I started drawing it at last evening, currently the screen$ includes a partly drawn Maria and a bit scenery.

This topic was about a modern remake of JSW. I started to talk about Amiga, wishing someone could convert this modern remake to Amiga too. 🙂 Amiga could then have JSW more close to the original version. 🙂

About MSX JSW2 cursors down + space + caveman, I remember a case that it works and many cases it works not. Maybe it won´t work with emulators? This was so long ago, I don´t remember....

I have one idea already for the loading screen, I will try. 🙂

Sendy, I might try it. Just give me time, ok? 🙂 If you want to personally discuss more about the loading screen, please send me a PM(s).

Please don´t forget the way the micros handled too big games back in the day:
Multiload.
48K Spectrum with tape recorder can handle this "JSW Mega-game", by using multiload. 🙂
Commodore 16 had both Jet Set Willy games! They were just loaded in separately, most C16 users must have been happy to have a chance to play JSW on their micro. 🙂 Please don´t forget that 16-bit micros used multiload, too! Disk drives were faster than tapes, but multiload was used anyway.
48K Spectrum, tape recorder and multiload are not a problem. It´s possible with (lots of ) extra work to choose and arrange certain rooms to fit in each "room block" to be loaded into 48K and when the edge of the playing area is reached, "JSW Mega-game" will ask if player wants to load the next part and tells the needed loading time, too. 🙂

MSX JSW2, I think you had to type "CAVEMAN" as a password after pressing down all the cursor keys and space. If I´m wrong, please delete this post.

May I suggest, if you make this game real using JSWED, that you or somebody else, will arrange the song called "The battle" as a tune for title screen. As you´ll make the game using JSWED64, then you could use it as an ingame tune as well. 🙂 I´m afraiding beeper version won´t have enough notes to have enjoyable (not irritatingly too repetitive) ingame tune, though with 128K Spectrum, you may not need to make the beeper tune. The song is from Rick Wakeman´s Journey To The Centre Of The Earth LP, 🙂 the entire LP is based on that book. 🙂

Now please model Commodore 64 stairs. 🙂 On a Spectrum it was a mere ramp.....
