Subject: Jonathan Harston's site

 

While prospecting down Google way, I stumbled upon an ancient, long-
forgotten website with some interesting technical information about
JSW:

http://www.mdfsnet.f9.co.uk/Software/JSW/

On further exploration, I found evidence of a lost 48K JSW game-
engine far superior to our own, which uses 7 bits to dig deep into
the Spectrum's core to supply extra rooms for its advanced industry.

Jonathan Harston's version of Jet Set Willy has slight modifications
to the original rooms, the "April Showers" room added, new rooms "The
Cave Mouth" and "The Cave", and several mainly blank, untitled rooms.

Party Willy also has "April Showers" and a room called "The Cave"! :-)
