Subject: Re: Difference between versions?
--- In manicminerandjetsetwilly@yahoogroups.com, ewgf3
""Does anyone know of the difference between different versions of
Jetset Willy 2? I have JSW2 for the Spectrum, the C64, the MSX and
the Amstrad CPC, and I'd like to see a breakdown of how these
versions differ, if one is available. Has anyone ever compiled a list
of differing rooms between versions, or whatever?""
I don't know about a website on the subject, but as I recall the
major differences between the Spectrum and C64 versions of JSW2 are
that the C64 game has wider rooms (necessitating some changes in the
way Willy jumps, which in turn have the effect of making it very easy
to fall to your death in the Wine Cellar - now retitled "The New Wine
Cellar" incidentally). Also, there are now some rooms down the
toilet, the names of which I forget. One of them allows you to stand
on a ledge in "Entrance To Hades", which is fascinating but pointless
since there's absolutely no reason to be in any of those rooms and
you can't get back out.
