Jet Set Willy 2+
Aaah, Willy, a game famous on the 8-bits and CPC back in the 1980s, mention Jet Set Willy and retro fans will know exactly what you're talking about.
Jet Set Willy 2+, coded by Andrew Cadley, is a remake of the 1986 Jet Set Willy 2 game by Software Projects. Andrew has updated the game to take advantage of the CPC+ hardware.
At first glance, the improvement is instant, it's so much better looking than the original version.
So once again can you help Willy, our intrepid explorer and nouveau-rich socialite, to clean up the mess in his huge mansion? You can, well then beware, there are some strange things going on in the further recesses of the house.
A large playing platformer that keeps it simple. Collect flashing objects and don't get killed along the way by the nasties in your house.
It sounds easy and with seven starting lives it looks easy too, but don't be fooled by its simplicity, it can be very unforgiving on you and give you a good workout for your brain as well as your hands.
Andrew Cadley's remake of Willy is smooth and the colour selection is really good. The game can be played with keys or joystick and moves fast. However, I didn't hear any sounds, hmmm.
Second Opinion
A CPC+ game it may be, but underneath the colourful graphics is still the same old gameplay.
First Day Target Score
Complete level one.
Verdict
Why didn't it look like this back in 1986?
