Gyrominiac Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 View File Jet-Set Willy II PC Jet-Set Willy II, remade for Windows computers. created by Dan Richardson (code, additional graphics), Andy "loafjaw" Noble (graphics) and Matthew "4-mat" Simmonds (music) this is quite rare to come across on the internet if you don't know where to look (which is quite a shame as it's absolutely excellent), so i've decided to put it here. this is a .7z file containing three .zip files, once again complete and unmodified. v1.02 - "Windows Edition" - this is the version you'll be playing. a lot of the graphics from Andy Noble's JSW remake are reused here, and all of the music from that remake is reused (including the 7 unused "spare" tracks + a new track) v1.0 - "Original Port" - this is a 100% faithful port of the original ZX Spectrum version complete with the ZX Spectrum graphics and music. not much else to say v1.0 - "Game Builder" - this is the level editor used to create all the levels used by this remake. to use it, put it in the directory of either version (the Windows Edition or the Original Port) from the readme file of the Windows Edition: Quote %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Jet Set Willy II- The Final Frontier 20th Anniversary (2005) PC Version 1.02 Programming and Additional Graphics ....

If you have any info on this, let me know 😉 Quote %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% :- ORIGINAL AND REMAKE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The original version of this game appeared on the ZX Spectrum in 1985 and was written by Derrick P. Rowson. It was a follow up to the original Jet Set Willy which was written by Matthew Smith. This has been re-written for the PC using Blitz Basic. All of the gameplay remains true to the original but the graphics and sound have improved thanks to Andy Noble and Matt Simmonds, both of whom made the original Jet Set Willy for the PC, which can be found at http://retrospec.sgn.net/ Quote %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% :- GAMEPLAY %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The goal is simple, you must collect all of the objects around Willy's mansion before Maria, Willy's housekeeper, will let you go to bed. But wait.. It seems different form last time. It's a lot bigger! In fact, there are now 130+ rooms to explore! Better make good use of that "save" function.

MathUseMyth Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Hi there! Thanks so much for having this game! I've completed the excellent PC remakes of Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy, so I'm grateful for the opportunity to round off the trilogy. Except that I can't. I'm stuck. I've noticed two major differences between the remake and the original: 1. Some jumps can only be cleared if you are moving; simply standing at full stride is not enough. 2. Collecting 150 items will not end the game; Maria will still block the Master Bedroom. I manage to get through the game without saving/loading (because at the time I did not know that feature existed) with 152 items collected. Upon discovering that Maria had not moved, I tried to get more items, but exhausted all my remaining lives in the attempt. After finding out about the save feature, I decided to go for a 100% run. In doing so, I noticed 3 bugs in the game: 1. If you hit the switch in the Trip Switch room before collecting the item, the item will disappear. This would make a 100% run impossible. 2. If you save your game in Deserted Isle, collect the item, teleport out and then reload, collecting the item will result in the tree disappearing (instead of sinking in the ground) and the "rescue" counter instantly moving to 0000. 3. After doing the Trip Switch, collecting the items to launch the yacht in a certain order (first the Bow, then the Yacht) will result in the Yacht showing up in the Cartography Room as a solid red square, indicating that an item has not been collected there even though it has. I've been through the game 3 times trying to do a 100% run and keep coming up one item short. I have a screenshot of the Cartography Room and every single square is green, indicating all items in those screens have been collected. This can only mean one of two things: 1. There is a bug making the game impossible to finish. 2. There is an entire screen somewhere that I have missed. I watched the part of the intro that shows you all the screens to see which one I might've missed. Nope, didn't miss any. I would very much like to see what happens at the end, but what's going on? Sorry if I've pointed out stuff that everyone already knows, but I thought I'd share it just in case. I'll attach the Cartography Room screenshot as well so that any eagle-eyed player might know which screen I might have missed. Cheers!

Norman Sword Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Your cartography room shot, is missing the trip switch room/block. Which indicates it has not been registered as visited and also the item not collected. jetsetdanny and Spider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathUseMyth Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 That's very interesting. If Forgotten Abbey and Willy's Lookout are registered as visited, then there's no way I could not have visited the Trip Switch. As mentioned in my previous post, there's a weird bug with that Trip Switch item. jetsetdanny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
