Hello and welcome to the help section of Jet Set Willy Online, this should hopefully provide a reference manual of sorts to getting the game up and running and allowing you to relive all those wonderful experiences of playing with your willy many years ago, only this time with a crowd of your friends.

 

You can't say fairer than that, really.

 

The Manual is divided up into sections for easier navigation. The Introduction Section which you're currently reading through will tell you a bit about the game, the remakers involved in bringing this multiplayer version to life and little else. Nobody said that every section would be useful, did they?

 

Count yourself lucky we didn't include photo's of ourselves to really torture you.

 

If you're still paying attention...then skip on to the Jet Set Willy Online section for a full guide on the game and all included modes of play, if you don't fancy reading the rest.

 

Jet Set Willy Online was coded by Stu C of Ovine By Design and designed by Oddbob, Smila and Scottige.

 

 


 

The Story

 

Miner Willy, intrepid explorer and nouveau-riche socialite, has been reaping the benefits of his fortunate discovery in surbiton. He has a yacht, a cliff-top mansion, an Italian housekeeper and a French cook, and hundreds of new found

friends who REALLY know how to enjoy themselves a a party.

 

His housekeeper Maria, however, takes a very dim view of all his revelry, and finally after a particularly boisterous thrash she puts her foot down. When the last of the louts disappears down the drive in his Aston Martin, all Willy can think about is crashing out in his four-poster. But Maria won't let him into his room until ALL the discarded glasses

and bottles have been cleared away.

 

Can you help Willy out of his dilemma? He hasn't explored his mansion properly yet (it IS a large place and he HAS been VERY busy) and there are some very strange things going on in the further recesses of the house (I wonder what the last owner WAS doing in his laboratory the night he disappeared).

 

You should manage O.K. though you will probably find some loonies have been up on the roof and I would check down the road and on the beach if I was you. Luckily, Willy has recently installed a teleport system which enables him to bring his friends in to help whilst Maria's back is turned, so he won't have to clear the mansion up all on his lonesome.

 

Shame no-one told him about the new extension to his mansion that was going on whilst he was partying... Willy barely had a handle on things before then...

 

Jet Set Willy Online features all of the rooms from Jet Set Willy and Jet Set Willy II (albeit in slightly modified form for multiplayer purposes) and a whole host of new locations. Willys mansion now stretches to a whopping 255 rooms, with nooks, crannies and all sorts of weirdo's you'd swear weren't there the night before...
