"Maybe we could add it to the Mass Collaboration
project, if all the sprites haven't been used
up?"

Yeah, but it was only really done as a diabolical
experiment!

I think the main feature in Matt's design is that
in many screens Willy can walk along the full length
of the bottom of the screen (with exits at the
bottom left and bottom right).

This presumably
encouraged exploration in the original game, as you didn't
have to get 'involved' in a screen; you could just
pass through. I think the re-designs generally don't
have this feature.
