In case you didn't know,
Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy
remakes are plentiful. They
range from the stunningly
beautiful - for example, Maria
vs Some Bastards by Vidar Eriksen - to the
devilishly difficult. Most of the remakes by
Dr Andrew Broad (aka Broadsoft) fall into
the latter category and Party Willy is no
exception to this rule.
Following on from such titles as
MM: The
Buddha of Suburbia,
JSW: Goodnite Luddite
and
MM: Ma Jolie, not to mention Dr Broad's
own authoring tools

Party Willy sees our hero
on the verge of marriage to his long-suffering
housekeeper Maria, and comes in two parts.
In part one you must guide Willy home from
his stag night at best mate Jet Set Dick's
house (on the other side of Surbiton), whilst in
part two Willy must seek absolution for his
sins ("wilful drunkenness, fornication,
trespassing on private property, theft, cheating
at computer games, listening to 'bad' music
and receiving Holy Communion in the state of
mortal sin") in order to marry Maria in The
Chapel. Bless.
Written for "Advanced JSW players"
Party
Willy requires concentration, skill and
determination in no small measures, and if
you're not a Willy fan you might find your
spirits begin to fail rather quickly. If you can
stick with the game long enough to work
through the feelings of despair and
hopelessness you'll emerge victorious to a
challenge well met. For the rest of us there's
an infy lives poke in the help file.

The loading screen. So simple - a
simple screen for a simple game,
right? Think again

Dick's place. Naturally the green plants
will kill you. And the redhead. Off you
go then...
