Hello Hervé and All, I am really excited - and, in fact, moved - to see "The Temple" in my mailbox, indeed the sequel awaited for 18 years... What a great and emotional moment! 😊 I will start playing the game very soon, initially without a 'playtest mindframe', but rather to enjoy. Not right now, and this is because of real-life circumstances. I am struggling with a heavy workload, and the day after tomorrow I will be travelling for work, which means I will have to finish up various things at the office tomorrow and then get ready for the trip. However, during the trip (which will take me a week), I will have my personal laptop with me and I will be sure to find some leisure moments to enjoy Part II of "Willy in the Islands of Mystery" 🙂 . I will get back to you all soon with my first impressions 🙂 . Daniel

Thank you, Francisco! Perhaps it'll be best if I credit you both by your real name and your nickname, so it will be "Francisco Urzúa (lemmylemming)".

I have (finally) added "What a Wonderful World of Willie" to the list of JSW48 games on JSW Central (it's game No. 57 in the JSW48 category!) and I have created its individual page. Please let me know if you have any observations or suggestions regarding the text there 🙂 .

Thank you for this file, lemmylemming! 👍I look forward very much to playing it and adding it to one of the lists of games on JSW Central very soon! 🙂 When I add your game on JSW Central, how should I credit you - as "lemmylemming" or perhaps your real name (if so, what is it?), or both, or something else still? Please advise.

Thanks for all the info, Hervé! It's great that your creativity is in full swing! 😁Your project No. 8 sounds really intriguing 🙂. Yes, I think that'll be a good idea, to separate it from "Willy in the Islands of Mystery : part II : The Temple". Hervé, the title screen of "The Temple" looks great 😊. The only thing is that the "t" in "temple" looks to be in lower case. I would kindly suggest that you capitalise it, to stick to the capitalisation rules for titles. So it would look like this: In fact, the first part of the game is listed on JSW Central as "Willy in the Islands of Mystery (Part 1: Exploration)". I can't remember off the top of my head, but I assume this exact spelling of the name was discussed in the old Yahoo! Group. However, I can see that you used the Roman numeral for the second part ("Part II") and that indeed a Roman numeral was also used on the title screen of the first part ("Part I"), while an Arabic one was used in its scrolling message ("Part 1"). Which is your preference for the listing of the title of the game on JSW Central? I could change the current "Willy in the Islands of Mystery (Part 1: Exploration)" to "Willy in the Islands of Mystery (Part I: Exploration)" and then the second part will be listed as "Willy in the Islands of Mystery (Part II: The Temple)". Personally, I think it actually looks better with Roman numerals ("I", "II") than with the Arabic ones ("1", "2"), but it's up to you to decide. Please let me know 🙂 . Have a great week!

Glad to hear that, UncleWan! Happy JSWEDiting! 😊

Happy JSWEDiting, Igor! 🙂

Well done, Igor! 😁 Did you try porting JSWED version 2.3.7 as well, by any chance? Even though John Elliott describes it on his website as "the latest Unstable Version", it is really THE version to use, IMPO, unless you like/are used to 2.2.9 so much that you want to stick to it. 2.3.7 is at least as stable as 2.2.9, in my experience. In fact, now that I've looked it up, I can see that v. 2.3.7 was released on 7th April 2015. So a month from now it will be 10 years since its release. High time to change the description, John, if you happen to read these words! 😉

Thanks for this find, AukonDK - very interesting! 👍

I've never gifted a game to any romantic partner. But I have a wife of many years who puts up with me spending time on JSW day after day and evening after evening. That's SO valuable! I could create a game for her, but I don't think she would want to see any more of JSW than she already does! 🤣

Thanks for sharing these graphics, Igor! 👍

Bonjour Hervé, c’est une excellente nouvelle que Willy in the Islands of Mystery / Part 2 : The Temple soit terminé et prêt pour les tests de jeu ! Je serai ravi de le tester. En fait, j’ai hâte ! 😁 C’est aussi une excellente nouvelle que tu aies commencé à travailler sur un nouveau jeu. Pourrais-tu révéler sur quel projet de la liste que tu avais présentée auparavant tu travailles ? And now the same in English so that everyone can read it without having to resort to electronic translation: Hello, Hervé, it's great news that "Willy in the Islands of Mystery / Part 2 : The Temple" is finished and ready for playtesting! I will be happy to do it. In fact, I can't wait! 😁 It is also great news that you have started working on a new game. Could you reveal which project from the list you previously presented you are working on?

UncleWan, I believe JSWED will NOT open TZX files (it will open it in Hex Editor, but you will not be able to edit the game using the GUI). Open a TAP file instead, or a SNA or Z80 file. Please note also that when you use an unmodified file of the original "Jet Set Willy", every time you will want to open the game you have just edited, you will get the colour code challenge. If you want to get rid of this, go to JSWED's Hex Editor and modify the value of the address 86B0 to C3, the value of the address 86B1 to CA, and the value of the address 86B2 to 87. Please let us know if everything works well for you 🙂 .

Oh, yes, UMM definitely drew a lot of attention and much discussion! And quite deservedly so 🙂 . Wow! If you would like to elaborate on it (e.g. what the "right type" means), it would be a great subject for the Chat section 😉 . Oh yes, it was greatly appreciated even by people who are not normally JSW fans. It's a great game! And not so small, well, it's certainly not a minigame. I definitely hope you will! 🙂
