Right, your turn! Feel free to tell us your thoughts on these or other fond Spectrum memories, either in the comment thread below or over on the forum where people are talking about this topic right now. "For all Jet Set Willy fans with an Xbox360, pick up Fez from the Xbox Live Arcade." " Jet Set Willy - though preferably without that damned annoying bug that used to kill you after you'd entered certain rooms!" "I'd have to say Jet Set Willy - still love the memories of it, even today!" " Jet Set Willy was a frustrating platformer!" I remember thinking at the time, 'how come there's no cool games like this for my computer?' That changed, but the Spectrum and Jet Set Willy was where it was at in the beginning." He was about six years older than me and into toy soldiers, comics and loads of stuff that made him look way cool to me (he's a geneticist now).
"My enduring memory is of playing Jet Set Willy in my dad's friend's son's room. Guy Haley ( author, editor of SFX Special 57: Anime, erstwhile deputy editor of SFX ) How I remember loading the tape, going for tea and returning to 'Error 49!'" "I remember saving up £99 to buy my first ever computer, a shiny new Spectrum with eight free games! Wow! My favourite at the time was Jet Set Willy. This surreal jump-and-dodge classic is one of the first non-linear platform games and is famous for being unfinishable due to bugs. Having made it rich through mining, class traitor Willy buys a mansion and spends his weekend tidying up after a huge party. Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy spring to mind. "I owned two models: one 48k Spectrum and one 128k Spectrum. And while everyone seemed to fondly remember the expansive, more epic sequel Jet Set Willy, I'll always have a place in my heart for the episodic original which started it all." " Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy, The Hobbit and Dan Dare. Just thinking about it now is enough to get Grieg's 'In The Hall Of The Mountain King' embedded as an earworm." In those pre-'save' days, every game was a one-take deal, every run through spent learning the tricks that would help you dodge one of those iconic man-eating toilets. It's got all the elements a good platformer needs: a simple premise, easy-to-understand goals, and incentives to keep you from hanging around (limited lives and an ever-decreasing air supply). "The pixels were nearly as big as Miner Willy's head, yet Manic Miner remains one of my all-time best platform games. Instead I'll plump for a slice of 'pure' Spectrum gaming: the early platform game Manic Miner, home-made, ground-breaking, genre-delineating, technically remarkable, entirely lovable."
"Back in the day I might have said a slick arcade conversion like R-Type or Rainbow Islands was my favourite, but the world's moved on (and then some) and the idea that these might be considered in any way polished now seems laughable. Matt Bielby (editor of Comic Heroes, erstwhile editor of Your Sinclair, erstwhile editor of SFX ) Many, many people wanted to give a shout out to this classic platform game.
