And I can let everyone know now that I can post messages again! :)

It's available at my website

http://www.bandstash.co.uk/jetsetgaming/

This is more up to date and more complete than my previous

effort.

There's now a wider selection of conveyors and crumbling blocks,
improved graphics and basically tidied up. The downloads a bit big mind...

Any suggestions and comments are welcome :)

Wow!
I`ve just downloaded your game - and I can say that I didn`t
regret for 30 minutes of downloading it. Your new game looks really
good, I think It is a very nice sequel to all those PC remakes.
I found that you made it very playable and nice looking. Thank you very much, Dan! To tell you the truth, I knew that this game will
be great. I didn`t made a mistake. Glad you like it Igor :) But I found some b-u-gz.. %-)

1) Sound doesn`t appear in Windows ME and WIN98 (?). I don`t know
exactly, but that
maybe because of my drivers. But I never met such problem before with my soundcard. I can hear music in DOS, and WAVs from the folder, but when I launch your game from Windows, my soundcard keeps silence..

There was supposed to be a Sound Setup editor included with the game,
but for some reason, it doesn't work :(
I will be resolving this problem by using MODs instead of WAVs in a
future update.. It also reduces dowload time ;)

2) Don`t you think that the rope moves to quickly? I lost 5 lives in
"Cold store" because of this. : - (

The rope moves like it does in JSW2, but not like JSW.. which is why
it might seem faster.

3) Music sounds very cool and nice but, Dan, don`t you think that its quality
isn`t perfect? I know that you made it because of DOS, but sometimes I thought that I hear radio.

I know the samples aren't perfect, but they were made speciffically
for the game.

BTW. Your Moonlight sonata is SUPERIOR! 8-)

Thanks, but I didn't actually write the music for the game :)

It isn`t a real bug but DAN, do you really know, how I miss a SPRITE editor in your game!... Maybe you could tell me where can I get DIV
for your game that you`ve used?

DIV is available at www.div-arena.com
All you need is a demo version and you can edit the FPG files..
there's more information in the ReadMe for the editor.

Why you didn`t insert "If I were a rich man" in your soundtrack? :) The ZIP file was big enough as it was! :) I read about your "colloboration project" and want to take part in it and to make a few rooms. : - )

Great, do you're rooms and send me the DAT folder (zipped please).

If I`ll find a DIV game maker, I`ll try to convert my ZX Frosya to PC version, I think...
Dan, write me what you think about my JSW3D project - should I
continue working on it or not? I ask for this for months, but only a few members of our club have answered. (Photo gallert>JSW3D) - for
screenshots.

Maybe you should release a playable demo so we can play it for
ourselves first? :)
