Subject: A Jet Set Willy double-bill!
Jet Set Willy and Manic Miner Community (jswmm.co.uk) is proud to present two brand new redesigns of 'Jet Set Willy'.
In 'Jet Set Mini', Willy's original mansion has been somewhat reduced in scale. But size isn't everything! Much of the code which was freed up by paring back the layout has been recycled, in order to insert a whole host of special effects into the game. Furthermore, 'upon reflection', there is something distinctly different about the layout of Willy's house in this project. However, 'Jet Set Mini' still retains the essence of Matthew Smith's 8-bit, 48K classic.
The layout of 'Jet Set Mixup' is almost identical to that of 'Jet Set Willy', but most of the original guardians have gone on holiday, and have been replaced on duty by sprites from 'Manic Miner' and 'Jet Set Willy II'. Furthermore, the player is offered a choice of sprites with which they can explore Willy's mansion, which reinforces the 'mixed up' atmosphere of 'Jet Set Mixup'.
Each game is accompanied by a comprehensive readme document and a 'keymap' Vega support file. We hope you enjoy this JSW double-bill!
