14. Jet-Set Willy Ivy
Author: Philip Bee
Publisher: Filsoft
Year: 1998
Language: English
Jet-Set Willy Ivy was the first gamma-released JSW game by Philip Bee. It was released in August 1998. The plot revolves around Willy's starring in a game written by Technician Ted, his arch-enemy, envious of his fame and followers. Ted writes a new game for Willy to star in, in which he seems to be doomed to fail; Ted hopes he will become famous again after Willy's failure. However, Willy can defeat Ted by collecting all the items and going to his bed.
The game offers the player an option of 'Infitite Takes' after loading.
The original release of the game suffers from the Bad Pause-Bug Fix, which Andrew Broad analysed in detail on his website, providing POKEs to eliminate the problem.
Number of edited rooms: 64
Number of rooms accessible without cheating: 63
("Was It Worth It?" [08] can only be accessed by using the Writetyper cheat [code 49] - which can be triggered in "Access All Floors" [28] - or by POKing the game.)
Number of rooms which need to be visited to complete the game: not more than 63
("Was It Worth It?" [08] should be omitted, as it cannot be accessed without cheating and has no items. Omitting "The Waxworks" [25] might be possible, at the expense of extending the route unnecessarily.)
