Jet Set Willy

each tricky bit!) This is my all time fav. game. Does anyone remember all the stuff
'Your Spectrum' did on it many moons ago? They seemed to be suggesting 'hidden'
items and 'secret rooms'. I was rather disapointed for these rumours to be
disproved...

There definitely was a secret room - it was unfinished, and could be
visited by using the cheat facility. As for the 'hidden' items -
how do you know that these had to be picked up to complete the game?
Maybe they were merely a bonus.

JetSet Willy II has a "desert island", you can get to from the yacht. Really!
I'm not sure what triggers the yacht to sail to it. It's picking up the
objects in the yacht, but with something else too!

Flick the trip switches -- get to them by going all the way right from the
yacht, under the house & everything... very difficult hidden abbey room
too... yeesh...(or it is on my SAM running at 200% normal speed).

It was in "Trip The Trip Switch", surprise surprise. From memory (8 years old!)
go along the "Under the Drive" bit down to the grain silo, and it's around
there somwhere.
Also I have Manic Miner 2 and JSW 3 - they look far from Official, so what's
the story behind them? Anyone know?

No, the trip switch is, strangely enough, in the room called 'Trip Switch'!
there is only the one, but you have to get the items on the boat in the correct
order - first the fuel tank in the Yacht, then the wheel in the Bow.
(p.s. to get off the Deserted Isle, wait till the countdown reaches zero,
then walk right till you drop down one level, then back left through the stuff,
once you reach the right spot you teleport.

I`m sure that Your Spectrum had a program which you could type in which gave
you an extra room above the beach. If my memory is correct, it had one
item in it which you has to collect, and lots of flashing YS symbols which
killed you. I can probalbly get hold of it over Easter as I know someone at

Yep. The room was called April Showers, and was above the Beach as you
said. There was a competition for the first 10 people to find the room.
I seem to remember that the object was a rain drop.

Just wondering - have any of you heard of a program called the Jet Set Willy
Editor?
It was written way back (1984?) by two guys here in Dundee. I don't think it
ever achieved more than local distribution and I'm not at all sure if it's
completely legal :-) . Anyway, that allowed you to edit ANY screen and then
save the game back to tape. You could then play your edited version.
I never had a copy personally, but I used it on a friend's Spectrum. Anyone
else remember this oddity? (it had an (orange?) cover with the Jet Set Willy
triangle in green).
Another great home-grown game was Pub Crawl, where you had to go round the
local pubs in Dundee getting pissed and trying to 'pull'. It was sold in the
Cursor Keys (now demised...) to over-18s only. There was even a Pub Crawl 2 I
think...
I also heard rumours of a JSW2 editor, but that's all they were - rumours.

The version I wrote had room editor, room renaming, character set editing,
sprite designer/editor and saved out the whole game as a self-running
discrete program. Software Products (?authors) got quite upset about this...
my publisher (Dundee's answer to Arthur Dailey :) ) got solicitors letters
about it.

Richard Swann
but it's only really suited to working off a "real" Speccy as it requires you to have an
original tape version of the program rather than a snapshot
The main game has a file "jsw1" whose start and length are both 32768. The editor loads
its own machine code and this file first before anything else. Obviously you can modify
the basic to load off microdrive, +D etc, but if your emulator can't load actual CODE files
off disk you're a bit stuffed basically
Martin Davies
I discovered that there *are* hidden items in it (well sort of). Matthew Smith included code (ie 8x8 graphics) for several items that don't appear in the finished program.The rooms with "hidden" items include Ballroom East (or was it
West,ie the one which didn't have objects),The Kitchen,the first landing(Where there *is* a collectible item,with the right pokes,but no graphic),and the Attic.There is also a graphic for the item which you collect automatically in The Swimming Pool.

I finished this game without cheating way back in the golden years,
but upon trying my luck with the new atari 2.07 emulator (yes, I still
have my Spectrum) I found I couldn't remember how to tackle the banyan
tree and the journey back through Nomen Luni.
At the banyan tree, I rediscovered how to end up standing on the
middle one of the three posts around the little devil and the IC. But
what after that? I seem to recall having to jump on one of the
non-solid blocks under the single solid one that is "in the air" over
the rightmost post.
As for the return journey through Nomen Luni, I'm clueless.
Anyone care to help?
Thanks,

Early one Sunday morning in August 1992, when I was trying to make
JPP read .voc files and didn't know that my Soundblaster software
was buggy, I sampled the entire Strangeloop tape. In case anyone is
feeling outrageously sentimental, I just put it up in
<ftp://ftp.nvg.unit.no/tmp/strangeloop.zip.> It'll disappear unless
you show interest, there's a cron job that cleans the /tmp directory.
Not guaranteed to load, you understand. But it sure sounds like old

As far as I know (and that isn't far, because I stuck to my own disassembly
and set of pokes and didn't read anything written by anyone else) there is
at least one item which you can't possibly get without poking it (in the
first landing, I think).

Yup your right, although the object is in the conservatory, you can't get to
it because a block is missing in 'The Banyan tree'. I rember a group of
my friends at school were really anoyed at this bug because they had completed
the rest of the game. Never did it myself though, never been very good at paying
games, always preferred coding (I wonder if this is universal between coders?)
Then there was the 'attic attack' bug in 'the attic', and We must perform a

I'm trying to remember that myself, that's why I asked for help with
the Banyan Tree and Nomen Luni :-)
I do remember doing it without infinite lives. If it's impossible
without poking, then I probably did that (wonder who won the
competition for the Champagne or what it was and the helicopter flight
over London - must've been a hacker). Trouble is, when I set up my
Spectrum again recently I only rediscovered a very smallish list of
pokes which was with my old maps, mags and stuff. Maybe it's in some
old YC issue. I haven't bothered searching through them all yet.
Anyone remember what the necessary pokes were?
And how the hell do you do Nomen Luni?

I've fooled around with my copy of JSWII a couple of years
ago, and poked myself unlimited lives. But then if you had the misfortune
of dying in a place where a monster begins at, you were stuck in an
endless cycle of dying. Then I took out the death check altogether,
by which I was able to just walk through monsters, but when I fell down,
I would pass through the floor and into the room below it and so on.
Has someone got a poke that really makes it convenient to cheat
either on the Spectrum or Amstrad?
Greetings,
Michael.
PS: I haven't seen any games on the IBM that took weeks, months, years
to solve like many for the 8 bit computers. Nowadays, everybody
wastes space on a CDrom for 24bit graphics, 44KHz sound for a game
that only takes a day to solve if worked on intensively. So in effect
you've spent 50$ for a day of playing. On olden computers the 20$
are a great bargain if 10 years later you've still not solved it.

The one I was thinking of *is* in the first landing. However, there is
also that one in the conservatory roof.
If anyone's interested, I'll upload my version of JSW which is approximately
the same as the usual one except that it starts off with the following
message:
Press:
A to POKE the attic
B to POKE the conservatory roof
C to start off with x lives
D to have infinite lives
E not to be killed
F to collect only x items
G to keep your items after being
killed
H to start in room x
I to get rid of sprites in
room x
J to get rid of colours during
pausing
K to get rid of automatic pause
L to change tune
M to get rid of infinite death
N to start off in same room
O to poke the item in First
Landing
P to start game
Now M is an interesting one. As Michael Stroucken quoth in article
<19...@blue.cis.pitt.edu>,
> I've fooled around with my copy of JSWII a couple of years
>ago, and poked myself unlimited lives. But then if you had the misfortune

Poke M above avoids this, but it needs my slightly revised edition of the
code, in which I have stored the coordinates of a safe starting place for
Willy in each room (so does N, which allows you to start a new game in the
same room as you were when the last game ended). This sometimes has the
interesting side-effect that it in certain rooms it is easier to cross the
room by being killed than by trying to negotiate your way through. :-)
Warning: poke E does not stop you from being killed by falling too far.
Doing that has the unfortunate side effect that the game freezes and you
have to abort and start again. It is therefore recommended that you select
pokes G and N as well when using this poke.
