Jet Set Willy is a computer game for the ZX Spectrum, a computer released by Sinclair Research of Cambridge, UK, in 1982.

The storyline of the game is as follows:

Millionaire Willy has had a party in his 60-room mansion. The party is a loud and wild one, and only the 'morning after' does everyone go home.

Willy inexplicably finds himself in his bath at 7am, and decides after his heavy night to go to bed.

However, he's not allowed to: his housekeeper, the butch Maria, will not let him go to bed until he has collected every single empty glass from the mansion and tidied the place up.

This isn't as simple as it sounds for Willy, whose task isn't made any easier by the ducks, flying pigs, floating monsters, high-velocity darts and ancient scrolls which seek to put him off - all of these things and a good many more send him to his death.

What's more, Maria insists that the whole task must be done before midnight.

Thanks to all those of you who have emailed us over the last few years to tell us you have found this site. When we first started this site (back in 1999/2000) we thought we were the only ones who remembered JSW, never mind that still wanted to play it. Every week since, we have had dozens of hits and floods of emails to prove us wrong.
