Title: Jet Set Willy z88 (v2.00) Author: Matthew Smith (converted by Dominic Morris) Uploader: Dominic Morris Type: z88 Application Short: Conversion of the classic Spectrum Game Welcome (finally!) the the z88 application conversion of the classic Spectrum game written by Matthew Smith. This conversion was made by Dominic Morris on 27/11/98 and contains all the graphics and sound of the original, though colour, sadly, is missing! The playing area of Jet Set Willy is too large to fit onto the z88 screen, so there are two display methods. The first is similar to that pioneered in Sokoban - a vertically scrolling display which follows Willy as he moves about the room. The second method is one where the entire screen is compressed so that it can be displayed on the z88, this results in some slightly strange looking graphics at time, but it does enable you to see the entire room and hence spot the guardians. Controls -------- This time round it is possible to redefine some of the keys, the default key settings are: O - Left P - Right SPACE - Jump H - Pause ENTER - Toggle ingame music The following can not be redefined: ESC - Quits back to the title screen DEL - Toggles inverse screen TAB - Toggles display mode So you wanna cheat to do you? ----------------------------- Well, sorry, you can't! It's a ROMable game, no POKEing allowed! However to make up for this there's an infinite lives cheat mode as well as the infamous standard JSW cheat mode! The WRITETYPER mode has been called into service, however the room selection keys are different, use 9,P,M,X,S,W,2 to select the room, be warned that in the original set of rooms some are undefined therefore some key combinations may caused undesired effects. So Why Now? ----------- It's been playing on my mind for a few months now - I said I'd do the application version, but always something more interesting has come up to distract me.. ..and so, on the 25/11/98 I started converting my Z88 version into an application - yup, that's the Wednesday before the NSSS show - and aimed to have it finished by the Saturday so it could be released, and despite a few problems, I finished in enough time to go to the pub on Friday night[1] and get a decent nights sleep for the first time in 3 days! [1] This hasn't happened yet, but it had better had or I'll be very angry! Known problems -------------- - Motion is a bit blurred - the z88 again I'm afraid! - The z88 doesn't auto timeout from the intro screen with sound enabled, this is a consequence of the attract mode I'm afraid - from within the game (with sound enabled) it will though. History ------- v1.0 Initial Release v1.01 Fixed Marias position, correct doc file, moved location of in game music, sort out music warbles! v2.0 First Z88 Application version Thats all, enjoy the game, any comments etc direct them to: Dominic Morris 20 Greenhill Drive Malvern Worcs WR14 2BW ENGLAND Email: djm@jb.man.ac.uk or dom@jadara.org.uk Jet Set Willy z88 was made with Amiga 27.11.98 EOF
