More Jet Set Willy a year later isn't exactly a step in the right direction.
A more polished and slightly larger version of the original Jet Set Willy. As usual, guide Miner Willy around the many rooms, jumping from platform to platform, avoiding the nasties, and collecting the sparkly objects. Collect enough and maybe your housekeeper Maria will finally let you go to bed.

A fun game is fun even without an objective. I mean, there is an objective, but exploring the mansion's bizarre rooms is a reward in itself. This is aided by simple, intuitive gameplay and short platforming challenges unique to each room.
I really do believe JSW is a timeless game with broad appeal. If this had been available to more people, perhaps it could've inspired imitators just like Super Mario Bros. did.
