On further exploration, he finds evidence of a lost civilisation far superior to our own, which used automatons to dig beep into the Earth's core to supply the essential raw materials for their advanced industry. After centuries of peace and prosperity, the civilisation was torn apart by war, and lapsed into a long dark age, abandoning their industry and machines. Nobody, however, thought to tell the mine robots to stop working, and through countless aeons they had steadily accumulated a huge stockpile of valuable metals and minerals, and Miner Willy realises that he now has the opportunity to make his fortune by finding the underground store. In order to move to the next chamber, you must collect all the flashing keys in the room while avoiding nasties like POISONOUS PANSIES and SPIDERS and SLIME and worst of all, MANIC MINING ROBOTS. When you have all the keys, you can enter the portal which will now be flashing. The game ends when you have been 'got' or fallen heavily three times.* [150]* [151]* [132]* [6]* [4]* [48]* [48]*Great platform game, in its era one of the very finest, was followed up by Jet Set Willy and Jet Set Willy 2. This game will be remembered for its simplicity and its gameplay. Matthew Smith, the Author, sold the game to two companies at once, (Bug Byte and Software Projects) hoping one would buy it from him. Both sold the game, but only Software Projects had the capital to continue with the sequel.
