Subject: Re: J. G. Harston's version of "JSW"
A further thought:
The game allows the player to choose the starting room (among other things). It happens after the game has loaded; the selection cannot be modified after losing all lives or aborting the game.
It occured to me that a solution to the problem described in the previous post would be to start in "I'm sure I've seen this before.." (room 15), collect the item there and then continue the game (without being able to return to this particular room) to complete it. However, when the starting point is set to that room, Willy emerges at the same coordinates as in "The Bathroom", i.e. at the floor level. In "I'm sure I've seen this before.." this effectively means he is trapped at the bottom, without being able to do anything meaningful and / or get out of this room...
