Subject: Re: Bugfixed, completable versions of "The Down and Out Trilogy"
The files can now be downloaded also from the Downloads section of the JetSet Willy & Manic Miner Community (no registration is necessary). The links are as follows:
The download pages also feature descriptions (copied from the Readme files) of the changes applied to the original game files, plus some screenshots.
I should also mention that I have recorded the walkthroughs of all three files for RZX Archive. They haven't been uploaded there yet, but I have sent them off to Daren, so hopefully they'll become available for download over there soon.
I managed to complete:
"Skint Willy" - at 8.58 a.m. in-game time, with one life lost. This life has to be lost in "Conservatory Room", just as in the original JSW and its different variants, and so I did not think it was necessary to correct this - it is almost "customary" for the player to lose one life at this particular spot*.
"Willy the Rogue" - at 8.46 a.m. in-game time, with no life lost.
"Steal Stealin'" - at 9.01 a.m. in-game time, with no life lost.
* My personal ideal of elegance in a JSW game is that, no matter how hard it may be, it should be possible to complete it without losing a single life. However, since I fixed "Skint Willy" based on the premise that only those issues need to be addressed which make the game incompletable, losing the life in "Conservatory Room" was not one of them.
