24. Willy Games: The First 30 Years Quiz
Author: Daniel Gromann
Year: 2016
Language: English
Willy Games: The First 30 Years Quiz is Daniel Gromann's first game using the JSW64 game engine. In fact, it makes use of it in a very unorthodox way: to create a multiple-choice quiz rather than a platform game. The quiz revolves around MM and JSW games for the ZX Spectrum created between 1983 and 2013 and is meant to be a "meta-tribute" to these games and their authors.
The objective of the game is to choose the correct answer to each question and complete the quiz before the player runs out of time. Only one answer (out of four) is correct in each case.
The game uses Variant V, Hacklevel 12 of the JSW64 game engine.
