JetSet Willy (Atari ST)

---

JSW for the Atari ST range of machines, written by Paul Taylor and Carl Whitwell

 

This very closely mimics the Spectrum version, right down to the font and sound effects. The 'jump' sound effect is slightly different and is more like the BBC Micro version in that its a higher pitch.

 

The only real addition (apart from the scrolling message change) is a built in attract mode, this is very similar to the one in JSWED but without displaying Willy on each page. It does not appear to go through every room however.

 

The Attic Bug and Banyan Tree bugs are fixed, and the Conservatory Roof layout mimics the BBC Micro version (or the JSW2 version, whichever you prefer) , a screenshot of this room is shown.

 

The other "minor issues" are still present:

 

Its possible to leap off the top of The Watch Tower
The Beach object still counts as two
The Swimming Pool object is 'auto collected'
The 'Landing Invisible Object' has been relocated to The Hall and it has a suitable wine glass shape applied, a screenshot of this is shown.

 

There's no 'writetyper' built in unfortunately. It may have another key-combination to do this however no doubt various pokes are available anyway.

 

There is no built in Keypad protection on this release and after examining it with an alternative one, I'm 99% confident this is 'original' as intended.

 

The scrolling message reads as follows:
