Subject: "Willy's New Mansion" Special Edition - coming soon!
I am pleased to report that the release of the Special Edition of "Willy's New Mansion" will happen soon, certainly not later than the twelfth anniversary of the release of the original edition (10th November), quite possibly earlier than that 
. The game file itself is finished, most of the playtesting is over and some finishing touches are now being given to the Readme.
Meanwhile, you can have a look at screenshots of all the rooms of the game here.
I would like to mention the fact that the game has been enriched significantly since the version that existed when message #6890 was posted on 20th April (announcing the release on 10th May). Ian Rushforth (IRF on JetSet Willy & Manic Miner Community) has provided tremendous input in the form of pointing to unused space, suggesting possibilities for optimising the code in order to squeeze in more things, spotting some issues and suggesting improvements, and offering one Patch Vector that he created. He also playtested the whole game and RZX-recorded the playtest for me. Andy Ford (Spider), in turn, has made a valuable contribution regarding building the final file, and has taken care of testing the game on real hardware (it works!) and on the Vega (results to be confirmed). Specific credits are given to them and to others in the Readme, but I don't want to miss any opportunity to acknowledge the valuable involvement of these two Gentlemen .
