Jet Set Willy - Perpetual Motion
Author: Darth Melkor
Year: 2005
Language: English
A variant in which Willy moves incessantly thanks to the use of POKE 36801,0 [#8FC1,00], discovered by Andrew Broad, with rooms 2, 4, 24, 26, 55 and 57 edited to make the game completable, and rooms 47, 61, 62 and 63 massaged into a playable form. The in-game tune is "Rich Girl" (Gwen Stefani).
The file was released in December 2005 as part of the Manic Scribbler box set.
Number of edited rooms: 64
Number of rooms accessible without cheating: 64
Number of rooms which need to be visited to complete the game: 63
("Entrance to Hades" [06] should be omitted as entering it results in a multiple-death scenario.)
Number of items to collect: 256
Spare lives at the start: 7
Completable without loss of life? NO
Lives which need to be sacrificed to complete the game: 5
(One life has to be sacrificed in each of the following rooms: "Under the MegaTree" [02], "Cuckoo's Nest" [07], "Out on a limb" [13] and "Conservatory Roof" [43] due to the impossibility of making a vertical jump. Another life has to be sacrificed to collect the leftmost item in "Conservatory Roof" [43] for the same reason as in the original JSW.)
Starting time: 7:00 am
Best documented completion time with no unnecessary loss of life: 8:10 am
