I poked and peeked and generally messed about with this game for probably about year. 'Your Spectrum' published a number of good pokes and I worked out a few myself including 'get around the annoying coloured card' - I'm proud to say I figured that out directly from reading Z80 code in decimal (before I knew hex or had a disassembler). I can still remember some pokes after what is it, 27 years?
This was an awesome game... a blueprint for so many other games. Without this we would be stuck in the gaming darkages of Monopoly or Buckaroo. All hail Matthew Smith! ^^
One of the true classics in gaming history. Proper old school! As mentioned in other comments, impossible to complete, but fun trying. It's also famous for Matthew Smith who went missing not long after -- google him!
I've never heard of the Spetrum. The C64 was a pile of shite without the music. Just buy a Hi-Fi system if you want to listen to music. Shite tiny graphics!
@craneywatch The speccy will always be brilliant. The 80's were the best years. Hard times but the posh kids provided us with the pirate tapes. Time to give it back through taxes, lol!
Impossible to complete without pokes. The game is full of bugs. Matthew Smith was pressured into rushing this follow-up to Manic Miner. A more complex game which wasn't given enough play testing.
@SPINNYFUCK zomg POKES! I totally remember doing pages of them, making ONE little mistake and losing the entire code string - drove me crazy (but not crazy enough to stop coding the pokes LOL) Memories - ahh thank you Spiny!
Cool. Ill go check that out thou i dont know if ill put the results up as who wants to see me falling on my ass every 10 seconds (i aint good at gmaes) ! I'll def check that speccy spoilers site out to sounds great. Yeah i thought the ending would be rubbish! Thanks again
Sorry bout that!Had a slow day at work and the 1st thing i see on youtube when i get in is jet set willy in all its glory so it made my day. I have no idea how the game ends at all. If anyone knows could they tell me please. Just out of interest where do you get your games from? Are they originals or downloads because theres some awesome titles you've put on. I was a heavy spectrum user back in the day (and after) until my powerpoint cable broke and its not worked ever since. A sad day.
Just joking mate! You can play over 12000 games at worldofspectrum. Download Spectaculator first and install it. Then you can re-live the good times. Make sure you put up some of your videos of speccy gameplay as well. To see the end of JetSet Willy go to Speccyspoilers. The ending is crap by the way. Some of the games I've put up won't be found on worldofspectrum. I have a cd with 3000 speccy games which I use if I can't get the game from the internet.
oh my god ive never said this to another man but i love you! That is awesome. The old memories are flooding back now. Thanks so much for that. Ive watched it twice already since you put it up! Cheers champ

Did the music really sound like that on the Spetrum? Sounds awful compared to the C64 version.
