Jet Set Willy – Ultimate Fan Page

Back in 1997 I started a web site dedicated to Jet Set Willy. By the help of many fans it grew quite comprehensive and popular.

But I was getting so many emails that I just couldn't keep up answering. So I pulled out the plug and shut the site down! I've been seeing a lot of posts since then, asking what has happened to the site. Many sites continued mirroring it partially, but that was just not it... So I said:

"What the heck, let's bring the Jet Set Willy Ultimate Fan Page to life again!"

Rich from his past mining exploits, Willy has bought a huge mansion with over 60 rooms, most of which he has never seen. There's been a mammoth party and the guests have left the place in a dreadful mess. Willy just wants to go to bed, but his housekeeper, the nightmarish Maria, won't let him until every bit and piece has been picked up and tidied away.

That was the epitome of the Jet Set Willy, the legendary game written in the 1984 for the good old ZX Spectrum, and later on converted to C64, Amstrad and other popular 8-bit computers. Unlike other computer games, it had a unique quality: it was not only a game that was to be played - It was a game to be explored, a game to be hacked! It is a game that you will be returning to over and over again!

So, dear Matthew Smith, here is a tribute to your work, and a big THANK YOU for the game you gave us to explore through all these years...
