I'm told that the C64 version of JSW isn't as good as the Spectrum original, but having compared the Speccy version to what I played it seems similar enough. I don't know what to say about this game, it's really strange, but also really funny. That said, not a fan of the gameplay, but platforming games on single button computers never seem to feel right regardless.

This game, like many early Microcomputer and Atari 2600 games, requires an imagination to play, and given all the weird stuff happening on screen, I think that may be the most important aspect going into this game.

It's a classic for it's time, but it sadly hasn't aged as well as Jumpman or Bruce Lee.
