JetSet Willy (Atari)

---

JetSet Willy for the 8 bit Atari range of machines, released by Tynesoft, the same company who also released the Acorn/BBC Micro versions of JSW and MM.

 

The .zip includes three files:

 

1x .cas tape file and 2x disk / image files (.atr and .xex)

 

The game does not play too well mainly due to collision detection being a little bit over enthusiastic, however this could be down to hardware emulation issues. This is apparent in the screenshots too.

 

The scrolling message reads:

You must guide Willy to collect all the items around the house before midnight so that Maria will let him go to bed . . . . .

The game itself is a reasonably faithful in layout but it is a cut down version, there being less sprites per screen as well as quite a few of the original mansion screens missing, although to be fair it was a squeeze no doubt to get what there is in as such.

 

In particular regarding the room layout there is no access to the right of The Wine Cellar (so there is no Forgotten Abbey or Under The Drive etc) present and the top rooms are also missing, right from Nomen Luni takes you to Rescue Esmeralda and from there to Top of the house. A map is also provided as a download too although it is present in our Maps topic here too.

 

Plenty of emulators to choose from however if stuck for choice Altirra is quite reasonable to use and offers plenty of emulation options.
