Subject: Andrew Broad's website updated (at last!)
(You are receiving this email because you - or someone using your
email-address - joined the Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy Yahoo! Group
and elected to receive Special Notices by email.)
I am delighted to announce that I have just uploaded the latest
versions of some MM/JSW web-pages that I have been working on for
ages. They can be found at
http://geocities.com/andrewbroad/spectrum/willy/
* List of MM/JSW Games: see below for details.
* Download Page: I've updated the preview of Afrikaan, and added a
preview-page for JSW64: Flash Manic Miner.
* Quirky Features: I did most of this update two years ago, but kept
it to myself because it contained secret features that I wanted to
use before anyone else, and which have since surfaced in JSW64MM:
James Bond.
* Nomen Clature: a MM/JSW Glossary: I started this two years ago, but
have barely touched it since, so I might as well upload it now, even
though I haven't written definitions for half the terms yet.
List of MM/JSW Games
This is a moment I want to savour, because it's been exactly a year
since I last updated it, and I know it's a very valuable document to
the MM/JSW community if I may say so myself. ;-)
It seems fitting that I am uploading the first edition of the List
that includes my 2007 game JSW64MM: James Bond on 28th May, which is
the 100th birthday of Bond's arch-nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and
would also have been Ian Fleming's 100th birthday, had he not died.
The new edition also lists all the other MM/JSW games (to the best of
my knowledge) that have been released in the last year:
* The DrUnKeN mAsTeR released bugfixes of his 48K JSW games The
DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!!, Fantasy World WillY and The F***ed Internet
Trilogy.
* The DrUnKeN mAsTeR released Holy S***!!!
* Hervé Ast released Willy in the Islands of Mystery (Part 1:
Exploration).
* The DrUnKeN mAsTeR released Willy - The Man Who Sold the World.
* Paul Equinox Collins released It's Wet Jelly.
I have also updated all the Titbits and Future Games sections, and
added several entries to Other Games of MM/JSW Interest - including a
couple that have not been mentioned on this Group!
