The highly acclaimed sequel to Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy is set in the huge mansion Willy has bought from the fortune made in the mines. After one long and rather expensive party Willy is ordered by the paranoid housekeeper maria, to clean the mess left by the jolly partygoers before he will be allowed to go to sleep in his bed Having only just bought his mansion, Willy still doesn't quite know his way around his 64 room 'pad'.   
Jet Set Willy is another classic platform game, one that innovated the exploring' arcade/adventure idea The massive playing area keeps you hooked just because you want to see the next room. The graphics are attractive and reasonable but nothing to jump over the moon about, but their strength lies in the way all the screens link up to form the mansion. There are some neat twists in this pattern game but once you have seen all the rooms it rapidly tends to lose some of its appeal. Overall AMTIX rating: 79% |
