Year: 2016 (Version +e.2)
Final revision: 2017 (Version +e.22)
Language: English
Jet Set Willy II+ is an updated revision of Jet Set Willy II with "practically every routine changed in some way". It was created by Derrick P. Rowson, the author of the original JSW II. Version +e.2 was released on Julian D. A. Wiseman's website in November 2016, and the final revision - Version +e.22 - on Facebook in January 2017.
The list of changes in relation to the original JSW II is very long and impressive. Please see the "Brief note rv1.txt" document in the Official release ZIP to appreciate how much the game has been modified (still within the original 48K).
