Subject: Update of JSW Central - launch of a new section

 

I am pleased to announce that JSW Central has just been updated. The main change is the launch of a new section: 'Minor modifications of the original Jet Set Willy'. Apart from its main page, it features 22 individual sub-pages for each discussed variant (in one case - variants, where a few very minor hacks are discussed together), with general info, info about the completability of the game (or lack thereof), download links and a screenshot gallery, illustrating new elements / differences from the original JSW. In all, over 630 new screenshots have been added to the site.

Subsection 'B. Advanced modifications of the original JSW' of section II. Jet Set Willy (JSW48) has also been modified, with Darren McCowan's Jet Set Willy: Wet Sunday Afternoon Graphical Remix included there as the first entry (I meditated on this a lot, but finally decided to do it, because the modified graphics accompany the player throughout the game, giving it a different feel to the original).

The update includes some 'JSW Central Special' download items, which are mainly bug-fixes / completable versions of some variants, which had not been available online before (TTBOMK). These are:

New standalone, ready-to-play variants of games with additional rooms exported from very old editors

- JSW - The Softricks editor version

- JSW - The Paul Rhodes' editor version

Bug-fixed versions of previously existing files

- JSW - The R. D. Foord Software version (this is the most advanced fix; I wrote a piece of additional code to make Willy jump during the toilet run to make the game completable)

- JSW: Mono

- JSW - Mark Woodmass's fast version

- La casa di Jack / La casa de Jack (which is also available for download from JSW & MM Community).
