this version
This is a rewrite of the legendary Jet Set Willy in Java, using the data from the original game to construct the rooms and sprites. It is currently a fairly reasonable copy: ropes are the least good feature at the moment.
The scrollbar at the side controls the speed at which the game runs.
Java JSW has been tested with the JDK appletviewer, Navigator 3/4 (4 strongly recommended), and Explorer 3/4/5.
