Or we can ask Andrew to put chat in here. It is needed to let him
know about it.

I deliberately removed Chat from all Yahoo! Groups of which I am the
Owner. I don't (and would never) use Chat myself, and more to the
point, Yahoo! doesn't record what is said in Chat-sessions AFAIK.
That's why everything in my Groups must be said in Messages -
particularly in manicminerandjetsetwilly, because I have my List of
MM/JSW Games to maintain, based on what is posted here.

I've tired of ZX HEROES at that moment and stopped working on it.
I wanted to make the main hero - Maria and to make Willy to wait
for him at the beginning of the game and to change the video
sequence in the end of it (starring maria). That's was that
surprise. Now I've lost interest in it, plus I've founded my game
in many other places, dedicated to JSW or ZX and understood, that
there is no need to reissue the game with this "not-really needed"
Maria.

I really hope you do see fit to rerelease ZX Heroes eventually,
because I know that the current gamma-release (Jsw5zxhero.tap
modified 26/12/2002 00:31) isn't the latest revision that exists.

Back to Igor since completing UMM have you considered UJSW?

Such ideas sometimes are in my mind. But I don't promise anything
right now. (There is no need right now for Andrew to include this
in future JSW64 game list). In fact I even plan to ask him to
erase everything what I've promised to work at, because I don't
plan to work on anything right now.

I would prefer not to delete your entries from Future Games, as this
is supposed to include every MM/JSW project that I've ever heard
about, even those that I'm now 99% sure will never see the light of
day. But I will delete your entries if you insist.

Now that UMM has been gamma-released, I will remove its entry in
Future JSW64 Games when I next update my List of MM/JSW Games (any
day now, but I've got 20 odd messages to process, and so many
different demands on my time that it's hard to prioritise anything).

That entry mentions a game called "Manic Miner 64: Attack of the
mutant telephones" - I presume this was a working title for UMM,
rather than another game?

Similarly, is Hervé's "Jet Set Willy in the Land of Free" (Message
4848) just another name for _JSW in Transatlantic Cruise_, or will
it be a game in its own right?

I know it might sound crazy but you could make a trilogy of it
hahaha.

1. UMM; 2. UJSW; 3. UJSW2?
1. UMM; 2. UJSW; 3. UMT?
1. UMM; 2. UJSW; 3. UWMTT?

"February showers" is a UMM sequel =)) haha =) The mad ring tries
to kill Willy but falls for two times to the lowerest level. WILL
WILLY BE ENOUGH GOOD TO RUN TO THE TOILET NOT HIT BY THE RING?
ONLY YOU CAN FIND OUT!!! =))))))))))))) (even I don't actually
know!)

I just managed to toilet-run Willy under the ring (actually I think
it's a tambourine) using runtime POKE 34271,2 from "Top Landing"
[34].

[The byte at 34271 (#85DF) is Willy's current mode:
0: normal
1: remove Maria
2: running right
3: in the toilet]
