of "Willy's New Mansion" (few as there were). Among them there is
one, unsigned, from someone using a Yahoo! account with the user
name "thesendstress". Was it you, Sendy?
If it was you, then I will gladly post the review in the Club :-) .
As far as the game file itself is concerned, "WNM" has sadly
disappeared from my Club folder, because I deleted it when I
couldn't upload "JSW: Mind Control" (and I thought that perhaps
taking another file off would help), and then I was unable to upload
it again. I have tried just now, but to no avail: at the end of the
uploading process I always get the same error message that the page
cannot be displayed.
So the game is not in the Club files any more, but it can be freely
downloaded from:
http://xa.bi/jsw/wnm.zip
As far as my other efforts are concerned, "JSW: The 2005 Megamix"
(by myself, Paul Equinox Collins and a number of other authors) can
be downloaded from:
http://xa.bi/jsw/megamix.zip
and "JSW: Mind Control" (by Sendy and myself) can be downloaded from:
http://xa.bi/jsw/jsw-mc.zip
The file sizes are: 439 Kb ("WNM"), 62 Kb ("JSW: The 2005 MM") and
636 Kb ("JSW: MC").
The full ZIP with "The Megamix" can also be downloaded from my
folder in the Club files, and a "skeleton" version of "Mind Control"
can be downloaded from the general area of the Club files. It has
the game file and the two accompanying text files, but doesn't have
the map or Sendy's original "The Unlucky 7". It is "skeleton"
because for some unexplainable reason I have not been able to upload
the full version. I think that it would actually be better to delete
this file altogether, so that everyone interested /has/ to download
the full ZIP from elsewhere. What do you think, Sendy? Or perhaps
you would be able to upload the complete ZIP from your computer?
While I'm at this blatant self-promotion, I can also remind you that
all of the existing language versions of Herve Ast's "JSW in Paris"
can be downloaded in one file from my JSW website (kindly maintained
by Xabier Vazquez) at: http://xa.bi/jsw/jswparis.zip (487 Kb).
In the future I will make "Willy in Transatlantic Cruise" available
there as well (if Herve doesn't object :-) ), after the final
version has been established.
A question to Sendy (or anyone else): What does IIRC stand for?
Apologies to everyone for such a pathetically self-oriented
message :-) .
Daniel
