Easter Eggs
     There is a screen called "Macaroni Ted", a clear reference to Technician Ted released earlier that year, whose authors Steve Marsden and David Cooke worked for the Marconi Company.

Remarks
     The original Jet Set Willy was ported to the Amstrad CPC, expanded upon and then converted back to the Spectrum, resulting in Jet Set Willy II: The Final Frontier.

Remarks
     ZXSR: Little known fact: Jet Set Willy 2 was actually the Amstrad CPC conversion of the original JSW with added screens! (I got this from an interview with the CPC programmer on the Web).
