Some comments:

The videos of "Ma jolie", "Ma jolite" and "Manic Mixup" were made from RZX walkthroughs I had recorded in the past (I hard worked really hard on them back then and didn't see room for improvement).

Similarly, the old recordings of "Terry The Turtle" (Cyan - Intermediate), "Terry The Turtle" (Red - Hard) and "Terry The Turtle" (Vektor - Special Edition) were used, because I considered them good enough - they could be improved, but since there is no clock in the game, there is no incentive to work on the improvement, either. As for "Terry The Turtle" (Yellow - Normal), a large part of it was re-recorded in order to showcase the collection of some items I had failed to collect in my initial walkthrough recorded back in February 2015.

 My walkthroughs of "AmAZiNG WiLLY" (v. 4), "WiLLY iN ThE MiRRoRVeRSE" (v. 3), "Jet Set Willy 5: ZX Heroes", "Willy Comes Home" and "Jet Set II" were presented publicly for the first time ever. I managed to complete:

v. 4 of "AmAZiNG WiLLY" at 8:49 am in-game time;

v. 3 of "WiLLY iN ThE MiRRoRVeRSE" at 8:53 am;

"Jet Set Willy 5: ZX Heroes" at 7:57 am (7:02 am via the Secret Passage);

"Jet Set II" at 7:56 am;

"Willy Comes Home" at 8:57 am.

I replayed and re-recorded the following games, achieving the following respective improvements:

"Jet Set Willy: The Colossal Cave" - completion time improved from 8:32 am to 8:19 am.

"Manic Miner - Norman Sword's version" - Bug-Byte version completion score improved from 38,873 pts. to 39,240 pts., Software Projects version completion score improved from 38,873 pts. to 39,250.

"Winer Milly" - completion score improved from 8800 pts. to 9550 pts.

"JSW64: Dragon Jet Set Willy" - completion time improved from 8:27 am to 8:18 am.

"JSW64: Dragon Manic Miner" - completion time improved from 7:44 am to 7:40 am.

"A Bulgarian Requiem" - completion time improved from 8:24 am to 8:18 am.

"Manic Miner: Neighbours - Allana Truman" (standard version) - completion score improved from 27,159 pts. to 31,144 pts.

"Manic Miner: Neighbours - Allana Truman" (easy version) - completion score improved from 30,703 pts. to 35,421 pts.

"Escape of the Snails" - completion time improved from 8:59 am to 8:47 am.

"JSW: The Sun Is No Longer Producing Heat" - the efficiency of my walkthrough has been improved, but it's difficult to quantitate it because there is no clock in the game.

All of the newly-recorded RZX files can be downloaded from the games' respective pages on JSW Central.

I have just uploaded a major update to JSW Central: a new section called "JSW Central videos", which lists all the videos I’ve made from my RZX recordings and provides links to both their YouTube pages and their Internet Archive pages. The YouTube links section is complete for all 178 videos released so far, while the Internet Archive links currently cover the first 60. The upload of the remaining videos is ongoing and, if all goes well, should be completed in the next couple of weeks.

Additionally, links to Internet Archive downloads have been added on the individual games' pages below the embedded YouTube videos.

A brand-new feature of this update is the possibility to download JSW Central videos from the Internet Archive—something I have introduced after much 'work behind the scenes' over the past few months. Videos can be downloaded both in their original Full HD quality and in their AI-upscaled 4K versions. These downloadable versions are the final products, often featuring slight improvements over their YouTube counterparts, such as adjusted title screens or better audio synchronization.

While the walkthroughs themselves remain identical, I strongly encourage anyone wishing to download a JSW Central video to get the final version from the Internet Archive rather than the one available on YouTube 🙂.
