Subject: Jet Set Bulimic / Advanced Jet Set Willy Guardian Simulator / Crap G
A note for Andrew Broad when he gets down to updating his list of
MM/JSW games, and to everyone else interested:
DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!! has entered a game called "Jet Set Bulimic" in the
2007 Crap Games Competition. It is described as "A puke-'em-'up with
the Jet Set Willy engine". I know he announced his intention to
create such a game in one of his (relatively) recent messages, but I
cannot find it right now to quote.
There is also another JSW-related game in this year's Crap Games
Compo. It is the "Advanced Jet Set Willy Guardian Simulator" by
Rickard Berglind. It is the last entry (as of today) and it has no
description or screenshot yet.
If I understand the situation correctly, the actual game files
cannot be downloaded yet. I think we have to wait for the results of
the competition and the big ZIP with all of the entries, or
something like that. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
While I am at it, I can't help mentioning the fact that I am
competing against the above two games (and thirty-odd other entries)
with my three games which I submitted to the Compo: "Desant"
("Landing Operation") and the two parts of "Atak pajakow" ("Spider
Attack"). They are my first and only efforts at 'real' programming,
they go back to 1987 and 1988, respectively, and they were
successfully rescued from old tapes a couple of months ago. I wanted
to show them to the world, but unfortunately the only reasonable way
of doing it seemed to be by submitting them to the Crap Games
Compo :-) .
Oh yes, and all of this year's entries can be seen at:

P.S. What is the current status of "The Man Who Sold the World",
DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!! ? Shall we see it before the end of the year?
