Subject: UK magazine-alert: MM/JSW in Retro Gamer
There's a lot about MM/JSW in the current (Load 37) issue of Retro
Gamer!
1. There's a big feature on Jet Set Willy Online (pp.36-41), with a
passing mention of "Willy's Hoard, The Deadly Mission, Fantasy World
Willy and Maria Vs Some Bastards (no really)".
2. MM and JSW both feature in the "Top 25 Platformers of All Time"
(pp.61-62). Two points made for MM are that it introduced in-game
music which "required constant attention from the CPU, something many
believed could never be done", and "when you died it was 100% YOUR
mistake, so why not quickly try again".
3. There's an article about the Dragon 32, with a brief profile of
the Dragon version of JSW (which introduced 13 extra rooms) on p.22.
