Jet Set Willy - Willy finally arrives on the Commodore VIC-20!

Well this is fantastic news as a classic 1980s retro title has finally made its way to the Commodore VIC-20! Jet Set Willy, the legendary platformer originally built for the ZX Spectrum, has been ported to the unexpanded VIC-20 with a disk drive thanks to Kweepa. While almost every British home computer from that era received an official version of the game, VIC-20 owners were historically left out. The system simply lacked the required memory, and floppy disk drives were highly uncommon in the UK market at the time.

Way back in the early 80's Matthew Smith released Jet Set Willy, the sequel to Manic Miner for the ZX Spectrum and ported to most other home computers by the publisher Software Projects.

It's incredible to think that Jet Set Willy was released in 1984 by Software Projects, and written by Matthew Smith for the ZX Spectrum ( also ported ) and yet still loved even to this day.

Well today we have a rather special style of Jet Set Willy called ' Jet Set Luis ' by Software Cete for the ZX Spectrum, which turns the classic game on it's head.

Abbaye Des Morts - Retro Platformer now available for ZX Spectrum!


It seems as if the C64 is really being out done lately as another new game has surfaced for the ZX Spectrum and that game is Abbaye Des Morts, which is a top notch platformer originally from LOCOMALITO. You'll be pleased to know that this is as every bit as good as the original game, which I originally thought to myself, this looks just like a ZX Spectrum and unbeknownst to me some time later a real ZX Spectrum port would appear. This is a horror style game which is set in an old church and compares very well to games such as Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy. A highly recommended title and you can thank DaRkHoRaCe and his team for the port.
