=JET SET WILLY 2=
What is JSW2 ?
Jet Set Willy is a platform game compsed
of rooms (each room has a title). You must collect all the objects that
Ezmeralda, your wife, had thrown through your house as she was angry against
you, in order to calm her.
And she doesn't want to see you until you bring them back to her.
The thing that makes this game challenging is the fact that... you just
cannot collect all the items because there are too many and there are too
many rooms to explore...
Why is it a good
game ?
To discover new rooms is one of the main
interests of the game.
And the other main interest, is the fact that you can't shoot enemies,
so you must avoid them, and each enemy is in motion, and each one has a
particular speed (or period), so you must wait the good moment before you
jump or you walk.
Technical points
:
The game is in mode 1 (320x200, 4 colors
simultaneously but the colors change with the room, so you don't see that
there are only 4).
The programmers did a thing that we don't see anymore nowadays : The splitscreen.
It means that the program is synchronized with the screen refreshing, so
that each group of lines of the screen can potentially display 4 colors
(it depends on the speed of the program, the faster the program is, the
more colors can be displayed).
There is no scrolling and the background is plain (because the sprites
are displayed in XOR mode).
