I dont know whats worse, this video being uploaded in 2015, and me not seeing it until now, or the vast amount of years between when I played this as a kid, and only just seeing the end sequences now.
Haha! Surely a dead heat Proton. :oP
The war is over Brother, we can sleep well now.
And 40 years after its release I've only just noticed that the game's cover-art was a depiction of the ending all along.
Haha! Yes… it was there all the time. Bet they laughed at that, that no one would find out for years 🤣🤣👍
No one seems to mention this, but it was written on the cassette tape box that the prize for the first person to complete the game was to stay in a mansion with Matthew Smith. I really wanted to win, but didn't get close :(
I wonder if the prize was ever claimed? 🤔
@@Njenkin I could be wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that there was a bug in the game that meant it couldn't be completed. I'd be very interested to know the real truth... Another thing never mentioned was the security you had to go through to start the game. There was a card or something in the cassette tape box that had coloured blocks. You had to input the right colours to start the game. It was such a long time ago I can't remember the exact details....
I owned the original. There was indeed a big colour code chart. I leant the game to a friend and it come back with ink blots all over it where he’d obviously been copying it. There were indeed a couple of bugs in the game, you’re correct Matt.
@@Njenkin Curious to know how old you are? I'm 48 (in 2021 for anyone watching at a later date). The 48k ZX Spectrum was such a long time ago. I doubt there's many my age that still play computer games. Resident Evil 7 on the PS5 was quite an experience, and I think even old school gamers should give modern games a try, because although I think I'm too old for most modern games (boooring), there’s the odd one that that will surprise the hell out of you (RE7 frightened the life out of me, and gave my 12yo boy something to laugh about). It's not often you’ll hear your dad say "holly shit!" when he's experienced a jump scare in a modern video game.
@@Mickparrysstepdad just for balance, coming up this a few years later, I'm 45 in 2023 and can confirm that from being a proud Spectrum owner onwards, I've gamed pretty much every generation of computer /console. I still play to this day - currently loving my Steam Deck which ironically I'm playing more for PC and emulators in games of the past than my latest on Xbox Series X! I think you'd be surprised how many people of our generation are still gaming away now.
So when you went to the attic with the Pac man like caterpillar in it, the game corrupts and some rooms kill all your lives .
That was the bug . I suppose you could try finishing by avoiding the attic.
I don't know.
That was the issue yes. Possible there are some modded versions which correct this.
He is literally hopping mad at the end there. Who wouldn't be? Jumping his way through hundreds of hazardous screens only to end up back where he started.
Anyway, I thought it was a nice touch, finding enough space in the memory to squeeze in good old Central Cavern. And all in just 48k! Unbelievable.
These coders bordered genius I think they probably invented the Tardis too. Would have loved to have played that Central Cavern at the end... but maybe that was pushing the limits a bit too much. :o)
You can in the Amstrad version, it's equally hopeless but still...
Poster paster
I dont believe that anyone in history managed to finish this game without cheats. Impossible.
I 100% agree Kris. Can’t believe someone then modded a Nightmare Edition. 🤪
@@Njenkin WTF? i've checked the modded version. Frankly speaking no difference for me ;) just as impossible. It was tough being a kid in the 80s. The kids nowadays don't know...
I'm sure there was even a bug si it was impossible to finish there was abit where you just kept falling resoawning and falling again till all lives gone .. I couldn't do jet set willy with never ending lives... I had jumps 2x to ..
Well I'm kinda glad I never bothered finishing it!
Don’t think they were expecting anyone to get this far. Kudos to those who did though!
You just solved one of the great mystery's of the world nick!
+Firefoxfifty Hooray! Next mystery, the Bermuda Triangle... or the East Anglia Parallelogram. We're on a roll ! :oD
i remember playing this as a kid went down the toilet and thought the game had froze up
I just remembered this game out of nowhere today, had to search it up and see what videos exists. It makes me feel old damn. Also, nice video style and commentary, I'm going to check out some other videos of yours!
Time sure does move incredibly fast. Huge thanks Avraham! 😀👍
Wow what a let down, glad I gave up 😀
My 48K would have been on fire before completing this one. :P
I like how the end sequence on JSW is spoiled by the games front cover art 😂
Man, yeah I suppose it does a bit. Don’t think many kids would have seen the real ending though so maybe justice was done. 🤣
I have NO life. But I'm very, VERY happy.
Hooray! :oP
The 1st games ending was much better! Part II seems somewhat pointless.
I do like the first one. Guess they had to think of something different for the next 🤔
2:47 Maybe the elusive sword fish from his mining days is inside the toilet? 😄
Could well be. :oP
Well, now the ads for this game, with his head down a toilet, all make sense!
Suddenly it does. Was a weird cassette cover wasn’t it?
Interesting stuff, especially the second one. There was no chance of me completing either of those games, as much as I loved them. Now then, what happens at the end of Harrier Attack.................☺
+Sturmwind Harrier Attack? I'm not sure. Does it keep going round in a circle? Maybe the home owners of the island sue. :oP
Exactly that, the whole emphasis of the game shifts, Phoenix-Wright like, and it goes to court, a simple case of low-level flying and noise pollution! (I don't really know what happens, no chance of me completing that one either).
There are some games NOBODY wants to know the ending...
Jet set willy
Maxwells manor
Burts brew biz
Ugh never mind, gettings ptsd
Maybe jumping in the toilet is a result of the Poke. It’s the writer telling you that you’re shit.
I wasted many hours on this as a kid
Think we all did. Was well worth it though I'd say. :oD
Good god, I'm glad i didn't know about those endings when i played it
Not sure many people would have seen the endings playing them properly.
My dad had a bootleg copy for C64 and so I played when I was a kid. I seem to remember a screen where, what I thought was his wife was mad at him because he was off his head on acid again and not feeling well and not wanting to deal with the angry lady locked himself in the bathroom. I think I noticed this when I went back to it as a teenager, and given some of the sprites in the game it seemed to make sense.
Also I don't remember being able to stop walking, Willy was always travelling in one direction or the other and when I completed it the game started again with everything moving or being animated backwards?
Can't seem to find anything confirming a version like this existed and to my knowledge I've never been on acid, so.... >.>
Hmmmm... not sure what was going on there Kenneth. Maybe that was some kind of extra super tricky version. Maria the Cleaners special josticks to blame no doubt. :oP
Maria? I always though her name was Martha. And lots of web pages seem to agree. Maybe it's because there was another Spectrum game called Mad Martha?
awesome video man, thanks :) you got yourself subscriber
Hooray! Cheers man!! :oD
just mad a couple of GIFS from this video & they'll be available through Fb & twitter from tomorrow
Hahaha cool ending back in the central cavern!
A fitting end that. Would have taken a lot of effort to eventually see it.
Cool seeing the ending of the 2nd one. I wonder if it isn't actually completed until you do the manic miner screen. I heard somewhere that one of these two games can't actually be completed due to a bug???
+theretrogamesnews That's true. I think both of them have objects you can't actually get to without a poke. Couple of invisble objects somewhere also. Damn tricky. Would love to complete that Manic Miner screen, but atlas it doesn't let you. Curses!
+Njenkin
that's somewhat of a drag, knowing the player can't actually get to the end of these legitimately, because i'd started a list of games i wanted to finish and they were on it.
dunno if you've done a video on the topic before: games you've completed (no cheats) in the past; is it all just pick-up-'n'-play these days? do we have the patience / time for anything more? mulling it over a few years ago, i wasn't sure i'd finished very much that isn't a text adventure or point & click, and that seemed a shame, so, i started focusing on trying to beat specific action titles. it's made me enjoy the hobby again, and feel slightly less like i'm just throwing the hours away / eating up time.
+hirelingful I keep a list of games actually completed, well, really I just tick them off. But it makes interesting, if predictable reading, in hindsight, especially noting the types of games completed. But overall, completed games are few and far between, with time being the major obstacle these days. I don't want to become a hoarder of towers of un-played games though.
+Sturmwind
began taking a photograph of ending sequences some time ago, for a quick visual reminder (and as proof, when my DONKEY KONG COUNTRY save data wiped just minutes after i'd completed it!!!). i haven't played daily for a good few years. (that may change soon, after i get the ZX connected up through RGB!) usually, when the mood strikes, i'll dedicate some time in the evenings to a specific game, and after a few days often have something to show for it. spurs me on.
That's a good idea, taking a pic. I remember magazines used to ask readers to do that back in the day. That is a nightmare losing save data in that manner. That happened to me with Shadowman on the N64 when I was close to completing it. I was completely de-motivated to go though it all again.
I didn't know that Jet Set Willy II was such a weak sequel - people must have been gutted when they bought it. You'd think the creator would have pushed the Spectrum further, or at least made a brand new, fresh game. Anyway, thanks for showing the endings Nick, they were quite interesting. :D
+kingstonlj Cheers Kingston! You did get to go up into Space in the second one if you reached the Rocket Room. I remember thinking as a kid, it was really cool when it took off. XD
Thanks Nick, enjoyed that. I don't know if the infamous bug (that apparently made JSW impossible to complete) was an urban myth or not....clearly it didn't stop the cheat working :-) You'd be pretty gutted if you collected all the pieces only to find that your wife wouldn't let you go to bed!
+John Smith Cheers John. It must have been one hell of a party. Hopefully we'll get an invite to the next one! :o)
