Great retrosong

Hey Hey 16k song
Not exactly an Amiga related song or video, but enjoyable anyway. :-)

Hoya!

BRILLIANT!!!!!!! I like it!
Even if I do not like pop, I must admit the lyrics are funny and SO true!

And many backgrounds brought back memories...

For the record, I had Jet Set Willy 2 on CPC and for YEARS wondered what JSW might look like... Until I realised, quite recently, that the first episode is in fact... Manic Miner! :-D

Actually, Jet Set Willy 1 isn't Manic Miner. The relation between JSW1 and JSW2 is that JSW1 originally appeared on the Speccy only. It was ported to the C64, with extras- 120 rooms and lots of the bugs were removed (You could actually complete the game now!). It was deemed to be a good enough improvement to be rereleased on the Speccy (And other playforms), as Jet Set Willy 2; this time the story read something like "This is the uncut version that shows what REALLY happened in Willy's Mansion"...

I have to say, that was extremely cool, yet, I am at a loss as to why ....

Argh... Now the song is stuck in my head!!!!

(At least it's not that Badger song. :P)

I don't think my parents bought our first household computer (a Vic-20) to help with my homework.  He did buy it hoping to do his finances...  I ended up inheriting it after a few weeks. :P

@Tangletown

Oh, thank you for the info! ;-)
As a matter of fact, I am talking about the CPC version but I just do not know if JSW was ever released on CPC...?

Hi MAD,

Yes Jet Set Willy was released on the CPC (and Manic Miner), they were the first games I played when we got the CPC 464 at home (with green screen).

One of my friends had a 464 back then as well, with a colour monitor!! I was intruiged by it! :-)
Alright I admit, I was Jealous!!:-D
