NickTheGreek Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hello, as i have been more of a CPC gamer back in the 80s and not really a big fan o JSW or MM, could you please let me know if the forum flash versions below are close to the original ? MM http://yourforum.gr/InvisionBoard/index.php?autocom=arcade&do=play&gameid=6629 JSW http://yourforum.gr/InvisionBoard/index.php?autocom=arcade&do=stats&gameid=10726 Dasse and Spider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Welcome. :) The MM game is based on the Spectrum version, it appears not far off (the graphics are the same as are the layouts it seems) the movement of Miner Willy is different however (too many leg steps) and the jump routine is not quite the same, the jump routine is similar to the C64 version of JSW actually from what I can tell, it has a 'floating' feeling. :D The JSW game appears to be something new rather than based on the original. :) It shares the 'floating' jump effect too.

jetsetdanny Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Welcome to this forum, NickTheGreek :) . The JSW game is Michael Tuohy's "Jet Set Willy - New Adventures In Sci Fi", a brand-new game inspired by JSW. The game was advertised on Manic Miner & Jet Set Willy Yahoo! Group back in 2003 (message #3620) and its author posted there about some problems concerning the game's speed (message #3771). Andrew Broad declared that he "didn't like the shape of the jump". The remnants of the original homepage can be seen on the Wayback Machine. Edited January 3, 2016 by jetsetdanny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
