Versions and minor mods of the original Jet Set Willy
Jet Set Willy - Rob Moseley's version
Author: Rob Moseley
Year: 1999
Language: English
A version with six new rooms: "The Basement" (01), "The Reactor Core" (06), "Entrance to the Seal Chamber" (31), "The Laboratory" (47), "The Seal Chamber" (50) and "The Reactor Plant" (61). The new rooms are located between "The Wine Cellar" (49) and "The Forgotten Abbey" (19). Three of the original rooms are missing from the game: "The Bridge" (01), "Entrance to Hades" (06) and "Watch Tower" (50). This version also features slight modifications to a part of the original rooms and some changes to the original room names. The border colour is set to black in all rooms.
The game features a cheat selection screen which appears after the game has loaded, where the player can choose the number of lives and the starting room as well as several options which make the game easier to complete (infinite lives, harmless monsters, auto item collection, etc.) or provide the player with new forms of movement (super jumps, left hand wall suction). The values can be chosen only once; they cannot be modified once the game has been restarted without being re-loaded.
According to the information provided by Andrew Broad, the new rooms were a start of a new game Rob Moseley was planning to create, called JSW Remix. When the completion of the project became uncertain, he authorised Andrew Broad to offer it as a download in November 2002. Although in fact an unfinished project, this version is possible to complete without losing a single life and is a fine minor mod of the original JSW in its own right.
The new rooms have been included in Jet Set Willy: The 2010 Megamix (and its first incarnation Jet Set Willy: The 2005 Megamix) (by Daniel Gromann and others, 2010 and 2005, respectively).
Number of edited rooms: 63
Number of rooms accessible without cheating: 63
Number of rooms which need to be visited to complete the game: 62
("Swimming Pool" [62] can be omitted, as there is no item there).

Spare lives at the start: 7
(This number can be modified using the cheat menu).
