Re: 2023 Game of The Year : Group Three voting

Thanks for doing this! :) I'll post here even though it doesn't concern Group Three voting as such. As someone who is particularly interested in and focusing on Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy games, I would like to make sure all the eligible games of this kind are included in the voting. At least fiv...

Re: JeT SeT JnR aNd ThE CuRsE oF ThE PhArAoH

In this case, it probably won't be a huge spoiler if I say that the same, well-known Infinite Lives POKE that works in the original "JSW" - POKE 35899,0 - also works in "JeT SeT JnR aNd ThE CuRsE oF ThE PhArAoH" :D .

Re: JeT SeT JnR aNd ThE CuRsE oF ThE PhArAoH

Thanks for the video, DVDfever! 👍 As mentioned in the release announcement, "JeT SeT JnR aNd ThE CuRsE oF ThE PhArAoH" has a difficulty level that's higher than in Carl's previous two games. I wouldn't say it's for the JSW pros only (meaning the non-pros won't enjoy it), but it is certainl...

JeT SeT JnR aNd ThE CuRsE oF ThE PhArAoH

I am thrilled to announce the release of Carl Paterson's third Jet Set Willy game: "JeT SeT JnR aNd ThE CuRsE oF ThE PhArAoH" :). It is the first JSW game in which the protagonist is not Willy, but... his son! Yes, the years have passed by and Junior is not only a fine young man, but also ...

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Matthew Smith): vote

Why is everyone giving a reply with three out of the four games listed in the order of preference? The original questionnaire says that "You may select 1 option". If it's just one option, my vote is "Jet Set Willy". If it's about indicating the order of preference among these fou...

JSWED was also used during the final stages of the project. Other tools that were used to create the version that has...

Re: Manic Person

A tip for those who want to see it: It requires a vertical jump on the conveyor. When you walk "against" the conveyor (in the opposite direction to its movement), it's possible to make such a jump by letting the right or left movement key and jumping right after that. I can't describe it v...

Game looks great - I have to admit a nice font would polish it off.

Let me know if you like them and I'll send you the ...

Well done on negotiating the first two levels. There is something in level 3 that will surprise you. And it's not easy... :o Generally speaking, this is not a game to be played without an infinite lives POKE or Rollback/snapshots saving and reloading. Especially the Inhuman Version, of course, it ha...
