Somewhere, sometimes, very far

From the place where you are,

Maria and Willy don`t sleep

In the Spectrum`s memory deep,

They try to visit all ZX games

To bring those peaceful days...

                 (By I. Makovsky)

     

      Hello everybody! I would like to present you my new game "Jet Set Willy 5:
Zx heroes". I hope you will like it as much as I do. To play it as fast as you
want then click here.

   

TOPIC 1: IN A FEW WORDS ABOUT JET SET WILLY 5.

 

    I was trying to make an unusual game, to make such game that would try to
take you to the past, to that times, when we didn`t had to buy more and more
memory for our computers, video cards and so on, we just had to turn on our
Speccy and to load a game or something else, using our old cassette recorder..
remember these times? Now it is possible to make such journey to the 1980`s and
to your favourite speccy games. All you need is a good ZX emulator. If you don`t
have one right now than you can visit these web pages and to download it from
there: World of Spectrum, My JSW page, or some other link if you know. You don`t
have to buy a very fast computer to play this game. I think that Pentium with
100 Mhz will do best he can. 

       If you don`t even know what means JetSet Willy, then let me describe it
to you. It is a very well-known arcade, made at the early 80`s on the Zx
Spectrum platform. It was such a great game that people continue play it through
twenty years. I hope you will like this game, based on JSW engine too. I
released this game right in the last days of 2002 year. I`d like to wish
everybody Merry Christmas and happy New Year, I hope that even 20 years later
the world won`t forget Willy and his very games. 

    What if you don`t know how to play?

Oh, then listen carefully: Willy can move left and right and also he can jump,
press enter to begin game, when you at the starting screen or wait for a while
to read a very interesting message. The main aim of the game is to visit every
room in the game and to collect every flashing object that you`ll find just
walking on it. When you`ll get all of them you have to go to the boss room, that
you will find when playing game and you`ll win. Rules are very simple, aren`t
they? But it isn`t as easy as I said. In most rooms you will face guardians,
that won`t let you collect items easily. They move left and right, up and down
and will kill our Willy if they will touch him. Avoid guardians and you`ll be
safe. Another one difficult feature in the game  so called "dead-blocks", such
things that usually very bright and when Willy will touch them, he will loose a
life too. Do not delete this game if you won`t finish it with a first try.
Though you have eight lives, it isn`t easy at all. Plus you have to look at the
clock. If you will play too long, Willy will die too. That`s why you have to
hurry.

      Current game has 38 rooms. And one secret room. It will be enough lives to
finish this games without cheats. But I recommend you to have a small training.

      In a few words that is all about this topic.

 

TOPIC 2. HISTORY
          In a few words, in ZX world, where all zx games lived in peace and
while our computer was turned off, these heroes of these games went to each
other and had parties and funny talks. Dizzy visited Rockford from BoulderDash,
BrianBloodAxe visited TechnicianTed and everything was very good. But suddenly,
King Spectrum, who was a real king of that country of games, agreed to buy a new
and modern computer. It was 10000Mhz, 100000Mb Ram and had a superior video
card. Once he bought it, he was very happy. "That`s just what I was waiting
for!", he cried. There could be million pixels of different colours in one
square! And he began playing new games. He forgot about other games and his
kingdom at all! And without his eye, game world began collapsing. All game
heroes began fight with each other, deleting each other and so on. Another day
and there will be no ZX games more. If any human will try to play any of his
games he will just get a message "1:0 OK!" And all! 

      "We have to do it now, until it won`t be late", - said Willy to Maria. And
our company agreed to go the King`s palace to have a little walk there. They
have to collect all flashing objects in 38 rooms and to bring them to the king.
While he will get away from his computer, Willy had to run to the computer
energy divice to turn it off. Once and forever. Good luck!

 

TOPIC 3. WHAT`S NEW IN THE GAME?
 

      A lot of new things, believe me. First  it is now really possible to
finish it, because in Jet Set Willy game series, we always had a headache
collecting endless items in endless rooms and halls. Now it is easy and
interesting. Second is  atmosphere of the game. Each room is a single ZX game.
Willy visit more then 34 different games with the similar graphics. If you want
to download all the games, that you will meet there then visit WOS (World of
Spectrum site). Third it is  individual sprites for every room. No the same
sprites in two rooms. Impossible. Fourth is the end of the game if you will try
to finish it, you`ll understand about what am I saying. He-he. Try to find
anything new, playing it.

 

TOPIC 4: SOMETHING ABOUT COPYRIGHT.

 

      I know that I`ve copied a lot of sprites from different games, but if you
became angry when saw a sprite from your own game, for example, then you`ll have
to excuse me. I didn`t do it with angry ideas, I just made it because I want to
show your superior game to everybody. So don`t be angry, be happy!

 

TOPIC 5: ONE ADVICE

 

       Please do not cheat while playing and do not use any editor to see rooms
that you didn`t visited while playing. You will loose all the interest.

 

TOPIC 6: WHOM I WANT TO THANK.

 

My parents for letting me sit at night near computer and just for endless love
that they give to me.

 

My cat Frosya, already known to you as a main hero of my first two games.

 

My granddad and grandmother for love too.

 

My friends Alex Marakushev, Ruslan Markarian, Paul Hjupin, Andrew Feofanov and
Julia Zhukova. You`re the best! 

 

My JSW club mates. Everybody. Especially Andrew Broad, John Elliott for the
editor, Philip Bee, Dan Richardson, Alex Cornhill, though I don`t know you very
much, Drunken Master, Carl Murray, Adban De Corcy and everybody else. Happy new
Year and Merry Christmas one more time.
