  1. 20 years ago we had Jet Set Willy Online, a multiplayer version of the classic ZX Spectrum game.

    Now we have the release of a brand new multiplayer Willy game, Jet Set Willy Redux with builds for Windows, Mac, Linux, Steamdeck and Raspberry Pi.

    I didn't have anything to do with this one, although it has long been a dream of mine. I just suggested a 'colour clash' display mode.

  3. Me sorprende como en la #retrogamer inglesa (de la q soy subscriptor desde el numero 40 y poco) cuando tratan al #zxspectrum ignoran casi completamente los juegos que no son ingleses.
    Una de dos: o x desconocimiento (usea q no hay ningún usuario experto en sus filas cosa q me extraña) o xq es lo q vende: su nostalgia.

    No recuerdo ningún numero con un amplio reportaje de los juegos hechos en x ejemplo apaña... Cosa q del jodio #jetsetwilly sale hasta en la sopa! 🤣🤣🤣

  5. 🎉 It's the 40th anniversary of Jet Set Willy! Did you know one screen was originally called 'We Must Perform a Quirkafleeg', referencing an obscure ritual from Fat Freddy's Cat? 🐾 #JetSetWilly #RetroGames #GameTrivia

  6. Forgot about this, I think I first learned of Jet Set Willy SE (Scrolling Edition) over on the bird site, came across this again today. What’s amazing to me are all the music variations on the in-game music I created for the Amstrad CPC version that are showcased on the linked video. 1984 Steve had no idea that almost 40 years later, the tune I created late one night sitting alone in the terraced house on Holt Road in Birkenhead using my trusty Casio would be taken and used to create all these variants. #JetSetWilly #Music

  8. Today's #retrogaming on the #Commodore64 #C64 #JetSetWilly, yes, it's not too happy on the C64, certain timings don't work so parts of the mansion are impassable. But if you want to torture yourself and are bored of the Spectrum version, here's a challenge for you!

  10. Today's sort of #retrogaming on the 128K #ZXSpectrum a mod of #JetSetWilly and a chance to see behind the bathroom wall by John Elliott in 1996. Watch out for that Greenhouse. It can be deadly! spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/

  12. Today's sort of #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #JetSetWilly BUT #JonathanCauldwell has created a 16K version of this classic, with only a few tiny changes. This is wonderful and shows just how much you can pack into 16K!

  14. I'm currently playing through the Gamecube version of Pikmin 2 on my Steam Deck; a game that still looks and plays great today, nearly 20 (!) years after its release. 20 years before that I would have been marveling at Jet Set Willy on the Speccy!

  16. OK. So I played #JetSetWilly ...

    and ... um ...

    I was a man in a hat ... and I had to collect some things and I touched a toilet and the screen went funny colours. Then I went into some other rooms. I saw a woman guarding a bed and she killed me when I touched her. Then I went down a hole and there was a church part or something. Then I went into a room and turned into a pig with wings. Then I lost all my lives and died.

  18. It’s just another Manic Miner
    (Oooh, a-hooo)
    Wish it were Sunder
    (Oohh ah-hoooo)
    That’s my fun-der.
    (Oohh, ahoo-oohh)
    My I-don’t-have-to-run-der
    It’s just another Manic Miner.

  20. Over on my blog I started a series of biographical (and other retro game dev related) posts. I’ve previously posted links to these on my now defunct #birdsite page but it feels appropriate to build up links to some of this content here.
    My very first job in the games industry was at Software Projects in 1984 where I worked on Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy for the Amstrad CPC computers. You can read about what that was like here:
