Making it real
By Oddbob

Well, look what we started...

I did this for a laugh, a bunch of images imagining a real world in which Jet Set Willy went on-line. In which Jet Set Willy went multiplayer. I though it was funny. But then I thought 'actually, no, it stupid and daft and crackers' and that's when I realised that it really ought to be real.

And guess what? It damn-well is - yep, we've made Jet Set Willy: Online. You can play it with mates. They can be in other rooms while you do that. In other houses in fact. Other continents if you're some sort of crazy internationalist.

I say again... it's real. You can play this, and we're chuffed to bits with it.

Download the game: here (Version 2.17 - added 15th May 2007)

Thank You Oddbob and Team

We are chuffed to bits that Oddbob and pals agreed to launch JSW: Online through the magazine. The thought that one of our collective silly jokes could become something so wonderful is near-mindblowing. That the silly joke has turned out to be such a solid, fun and addictive real game is almost too much! But it has. It bloody well has and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

This is our Christmas pressie to you: have fun and HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
