Hi everybody!

I'm very glad that there is this kind of group about old good games!

I want to ask a question. May be someone can help me.

May be you can help me.

In 80-90th I have an Atari 800XL. I played JSW on it but didn't complete it. Now I try to do it on emulator. I found no video with walkthrough of this version but there is walkthrough of Spectrum version. I make on the video with walkthroug of JWL on Spectrum and do step by step the same on Atari emulator using saves. Some rooms were different but almost all is the same. I collect may be all items (73) but I can't get to bed in Master Bedroom. I walk another time almost all the house around but I don't see anymore items.
The game can be impossible to complete how it is sometimes on Atari but how
I can know it... Don't you know?

I read on Wilipedia about Atari version this:

"Like the Spectrum version, it was impossible to complete but for different reasons. Some of the legitimate items that were needed caused the player to lose a life (e.g. the bottles in the Off Licence)"

Yes. I saw this places. But it's not a problem cause there are a lot of lifes. But if there is this bug may be another bug is that you can't go to bed even you got all items? How do you think? Or I really didn't collect some items?
