Jet Set Willy

Look what we've unearthed from the archives! Jetset Willy was a classic with a cult following on the Spectrum and C64, there was even a followup though I can't remember its name. The game was converted to the ST in the mid eighties but the publishing house (Software Projects) pulled the plug on it before release. Although unreleased, the game was completed. Software Projects are long since departed and the authors have decided to release the game for all to enjoy. It is identical to the 8-bit version but has lost none of its original addictiveness. The only drawback is that it comes with no instructions. You have to wander through about 50 levels of platforms and ladders collecting objects as you go. A certain number of objects must be collected before you are allowed to go to bed. There's a timer and needless to say, you must complete your task before bed time.
