IMPORTANT: To 'Save' the game go 'Back' to the Main Menu before quitting the App. Jet Set Willy for the ZX Spectrum (an 8-bit personal home computer released in the UK in 1982 by Sinclair Research Ltd, which sold in excess of 5 million units worldwide) is one of THE defining games of the 1980s. Jet Set Willy: ZX Spectrum is offered as an in-app purchase from within the Recreated ZX Spectrum app. The Recreated ZX Spectrum app includes more ZX Spectrum games plus Sinclair BASIC. Jet Set Willy: ZX Spectrum is also available in this stand-alone form. It does not include any other ZX Spectrum games but it does include an infinite-lives version. Jet Set Willy: ZX Spectrum is the 100% original ZX Spectrum game, written in 1984 and is brought to you - as an officially licenced product - utilizing our ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection technology. Featuring: - portrait and landscape play / display modes - iDaptive (user-definable, game-specific joystick, keypad & canvas) Controls - ‘auto save’, on exiting the game - authentic 'Spectrum' sound Jet Set Willy was published in 1984 by Software Projects. The game is a sequel to Manic Miner (1983), and is the second game in the immensely popular Miner Willy Series. The Plot: A tired Miner Willy has to tidy up all the items left around his house after a huge party. With this done his housekeeper Maria will allow him access to his bedroom. Willy's mansion was bought with the wealth obtained from his adventures in Manic Miner but much of it remains unexplored and it appears to be full of strange creatures, possibly a result of the previous (missing) owner's experiments. Willy must explore the enormous mansion and its grounds (including a beach and a yacht) to fully tidy up the house so he can get some much-needed sleep. Game-play: Willy moves from room to room in his mansion collecting objects. Unlike the screen-by-screen style of its prequel, the player can explore the mansion at will and tackle the screens in the order of their choosing. Willy is controlled using only left, right and jump. He can climb stairs by walking into them (jumping through them to avoid them) and climb swinging ropes by pushing left or right depending on what direction the rope is swinging in. The play area itself consists of 60 flick-screen making-up the mansion and its grounds and containing hazards (static killer objects), patrolling monsters (killer guardians which move along predetermined paths), various platforms and collectable objects. The collectable items glow to distinguish them from other items in the room. Willy loses a life if he touches an enemy or falls too far, and he is returned to the point at which he entered the room. This may lead to a game-ending situation in which Willy repeatedly falls from a height, losing all lives in succession. Bugs: As originally released, the game could not be completed due to several bugs. Although actually four completely unrelated issues, they became known collectively as "The Attic Bug". After the player entered the room The Attic, various rooms would undergo corruption on all subsequent game plays, including all monsters disappearing from The Chapel, and other screens triggering instant death. Initially Software Projects attempted to pass off this bug off as an intentional feature to make the game more difficult, claiming that the rooms in question were filled with poison gas. However, they later rescinded this claim and issued a set of POKEs to correct the flaws. About Elite®: Elite Systems Ltd was incorporated in England in 1984. ## Jet Set Willy Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/09/50/02/0950029d-eca2-511c-e607-fd23195e1bdb/pr_source.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/a5/ce/43/a5ce430d-e6b6-d26b-75ed-be54506db4c4/pr_source.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/74/83/69/7483692d-65b9-864e-bbbb-52d53285dfad/pr_source.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/06/f4/bf/06f4bfd8-4a97-7eb0-7574-39d90f8cc84c/pr_source.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/a9/51/1b/a9511b8f-919f-ae99-62b5-08a5e0bcce26/pr_source.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/78/d9/06/78d90632-e470-f74c-ca1f-75106fafe01c/pr_source.png/1242x2688.png) ## Jet Set Willy Rating Breakdown in United Kingdom - 5 stars: 1 (7%) - 4 stars: 1 (7%) - 3 stars: 1 (7%) - 2 stars: 1 (7%) - 1 stars: 11 (73%) ## Jet Set Willy Reviews in United Kingdom ### *---- "Does work with iOS 18" Don’t bother -- MR.E(Mystery, 2024-11-30 ### *---- "Terrible" Complete waste of money -- J 123532, 2024-10-14 ### *---- "Don’t work" Waste of money they are conning people -- 6666keith, 2021-08-04 ### *---- "Does. It work correctly" There is no way of settling the controls correctly. Have to play a bit hit and miss. Please refund me. -- Yorkshireguy, 2020-07-24 ### *---- "Crap controls" Great game on the Spectrum ruined by un responsive controls that sometimes have a mind of their own. Poor. -- Lord Grubby, 2019-04-26 ### ***-- "Needs updating" Won’t run with iOS 11. Was quite good fun when it worked. -- Thisnicknameisalreadytaken1980, 2017-09-28 ### *---- "No sound" Totally useless, sound doesn't work!!! -- Funktifeyeno, 2017-01-07 ### ***** "Jet set" I really love this game it brings back so many memories of the early 80's -- Not75, 2013-06-29 ### ***** "Weird British Heritage" This game is a national treasure and I'm thrilled that its available for iOS. The app itself isn't perfect and is overpriced; however, I and I'm sure others would pay anything within reason to recapture their misspent youths. On the other hand, the price has stopped me from buying other apps from ELITE as they are freely available elsewhere. ELITE rethink your pricing! -- JJCrackles, 2012-10-21 ### ***** "Jetset joy" Fantastic classic Sinclair spectrum game. Been waiting for this and it doesn't disappoint down load it now :) -- BJD1967, 2012-04-16 [View all Jet Set Willy reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Jet Set Willy Available In - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/jet-set-willy-zx-spectrum-TUCg/united-kingdom) - [Armenia](https://apptail.io/app/jet-set-willy-zx-spectrum-TUCg/armenia) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/jet-set-willy-zx-spectrum-TUCg/sweden) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
