Games Yanks Can’t Wank – Jet Set Willy, 
My Second ever Games Yanks Can’t Wank episode all the way back in 2007, and actually the episode that got me the job on Xleague and in turn started my Retro Corner series (in fact, this was converted into the first ever Retro Corner episode).
Unfortunately, my original original video of this seems to be lost forever (that or I’ve stuck it on a DVD that’s long since gone or scratched to hell. But I found this rip of it on an old HDD I’ve just found. It’s actually a rip of the video ScrewAttack uploaded to Revver many moons ago, so I’ve tinkered with it to upscale the graphics, and used the original audio, which I was lucky to still have.
Anyhoo, hope you enjoy this everyone, I am working on all new episodes at the moment, don’t you worry including a collaboration with Ashens and a special on the Doctor Who video games, which amazingly no one has ever made a retrospective on before on the web. Video or Written. But I hope you enjoy this old episode for the time being!!!
Look out for Larry’s previous Blistered Thumbs Episode: Kusoge Club – Deadliest Warrior 2 :

Good stuff Mister Guru.
Cheers, There’s plenty more on the way
One of my girlfriends had this game on her computer but the screen was green. I never finished it I actually got stuck on the banyan tree part! What a coincidence. Nice review.
Did she have it on the Amstrad if it was green?
Hey Larry,do you know Manic Miner is on XBLA Indie now?
Someone told me a few days ago, but it’s a shame it’s an indie game, rather than a “proper” XBLA title.
I think that was Microsoft’s decision ,as the port is just that a straight port with very little enhancements they didnt want to get bad press,so they they asked Elite to bury it away in the Indie section.
Anyways..Jet Set Willy? I preferred Dynamite Dan II personally!
Maybe if Elite weren’t so tight and released it with Jet Set Willy & JSW II maybe it could have gone on the main XBLA.
I don’t think I ever played Dynamite Dan II, I played the original a bit. But these sort of games, I loved Jack the Nipper II as a kid.
