Jet Set Willy II (1985)

Jet Set Willy II was released in 1985 by Software Projects Ltd as a direct sequel to the original platform hit. The game was developed by Derrick P. Rowson, with inlay and poster art provided by Roger Tissyman.

This single-player arcade platformer supports both ZX Spectrum 48K and 128K machines. Key technical features include multi-machine medium support, Padlock protection, border effects, and Flippy compatibility. The game originated from an Amstrad CPC conversion of the first title, which was expanded with new screens and subsequently ported back to the Spectrum.

The original cassette was priced at £6.95. Beyond the ZX Spectrum, the game was released on Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, Commodore 64, Commodore Plus/4, MSX, Amiga, and Acorn platforms.

The game holds an average magazine score of 65.83%. Reviews from publications including Crash, Sinclair User, and Your Sinclair ranged from 61% to 79%.

In Russia, the game gained recognition through numerous TR-DOS versions released by groups like Omega, TAW, and Power of Sound. Cracked cassette versions by teams such as Satansoft and KG were also common. The magazine Emulate featured POKE codes and gameplay tips for the title.
