I am asking about japanese ROM/Beecard Jet Set Willy.
There are several differences between Hudson Soft release and original Software Projects Jet Set Willy. Some differences in Hudson Soft release:
-original title screen removed, now there reads just "Jet Set Willy" in white letters, no music, no scroll text etc.
-in-game music is changed, now it plays easily recognizable If "I was a rich man".
-Monty Python game over screen removed, there reads only "game over" which does not even flash
-game over screen does not return to title screen, but game starts again when you press space
-sprites are removed, now all enemies are software sprites, can be easily seen when enemy touches Willy
-game runs slower, probably because game now uses software sprites only.
-jumping noise is changed, now it´s more like key click-click-click-click....
-jumping key is changed
-now you will hear key CLICK noise playing non-stop on the background when you press walking key
-flashing background shapes doesn´t flash anymore, in example the church cross is not flashing in "First Landing"
-room names are deleted
-now borders doesn´t change colour anymore when you enter a new room, now borders will stay grey all the time
There are way too many lives added also, spoiling the game. I guess some hacker has added them to make game easier.
My question is, could somebody Jet Set Willy ROM or Beecard owner please confirm, are way-too-many-lives added in ROM or Beecard version?
