Was quite good fun when it worked. ### 3/5 — Great Game. Bad Form Elite! *2012-02-16, version v1.0* First things first. This (Legendary) game was developed by Software Projects back in 1984. Upon it's release, it had already reached legendary status and went on to become one of the most beloved and most remembered games of all time. Of course, if you are new to the world of games, this probably looks like a blocky mess. But take note, this came out at a time when graphics & sprites on home computers were not exactly what they are today. So why 3 stars? Simple. Although i applaude Elite Systems' attempt at reviving the original Speccy classics, I do not condone selling them for 1.49 each. That is a rip-off. Mostly because half of their offered games are FREELY available on the net at the consent of the programmers, mind you. Drop the price. I understand that you expect some form of compensation for bringing this to IOS but come on! 1.49? Really? ### 4/5 — Great *2011-12-16, version v1.0* Just needs a save menu ### 5/5 — Amazing *2011-03-11, version v1.0* Wow this is brilliant! The sounds and music are exactly how I remember it and each room I enter brings back so many memories! It's worth every penny!! ### 5/5 — Great game *2011-03-07, version v1.0* Excellent emulation of an awesome classic, but why the wrong music? ### 5/5 — Blast from the past! *2011-03-06, version v1.0* I can remember playing this game when I was about 8. It is one of those games that just stick in your mind, and I cannot believe I have found it again at last. What a reunion! ### 4/5 — Wrong music! *2011-03-05, version v1.0* Looks and sounds great, but how come the in-game music is 'in the hall of the mountain king' from Manic Miner instead of the original 'if i were a rich man' from Jet Set Willy? Copyright issues or just a mistake? We must be told! Other than that, loving it. ### 5/5 — Jet set tastic *2011-03-03, version v1.0* Lovely port of a classic game that set the standard for many platformers to follow , save game would have been nice , but overall another feather in Elite's cap , still no chance of any ultimate games though! ### 5/5 — Jet Setter *2011-02-26, version v1.0* There is a god, my prayers are answered! I used to adore this game as a child and its not lost any of its frustrating charm. love it! ### 4/5 — Frustratingly amazing but legacy flaws still exust? *2011-02-14, version v1.0* So i adored this game as well as its predecessor MM back in the day and even though it says in the history section that it was hard to pirate: it wasn't lol. Now 20 years later i'v paid what i would have for a full codemaster game lets say and got a classic! Now im all for emulating these games as closely to the originals as possible but come on the bugs should have been taken out, hiw frustrating the game is actually pales in comparison when it gets stuck on a screen and you only have a few items left to get! Am i alone in this, i mean they have had 20 years to iron out these faults. Overall its still the game i loved as a boy and now a man! Will give it the extra star if the bugs are eradicated! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-11-04, version 1.3.2* Having spent nearly £6 for both manic miner and jet set Willy I was shocked to find neither of them worked on my iphone15. Unless you fix the bugs I can only assume this is a scam and people should avoid ### 1/5 — Does work with iOS 18 *2024-11-30, version 1.3.2* Don’t bother ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-10-14, version 1.3.2* Complete waste of money ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2021-08-04, version 1.3.2* Waste of money they are conning people ### 1/5 — Does. It work correctly *2020-07-24, version 1.3.2* There is no way of settling the controls correctly. Have to play a bit hit and miss. Please refund me. ### 1/5 — Crap controls *2019-04-26, version 1.3.2* Great game on the Spectrum ruined by un responsive controls that sometimes have a mind of their own. Poor. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2018-08-29* Does not run in ios11 ### 1/5 — No sound *2017-01-07, version v1.2* Totally useless, sound doesn't work!!! ### 1/5 — Heathie *2011-06-12, version v1.0* Pity an old classic is ruined by unresponsive controls. Bought for bit of nostalgia , wish not bothered now. Only worth it if it was free. ### 1/5 — b banner *2011-03-10, version v1.0* utter plop, totally ruined my memories of the game I spent all my childhood raving over, gutted :-( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jet set *2013-06-29, version v1.2* I really love this game it brings back so many memories of the early 80's ### 5/5 — Weird British Heritage *2012-10-21, version v1.0* This game is a national treasure and I'm thrilled that its available for iOS. The app itself isn't perfect and is overpriced; however, I and I'm sure others would pay anything within reason to recapture their misspent youths. On the other hand, the price has stopped me from buying other apps from ELITE as they are freely available elsewhere. ELITE rethink your pricing! ### 5/5 — Jetset joy *2012-04-16, version v1.0* Fantastic classic Sinclair spectrum game. Been waiting for this and it doesn't disappoint down load it now :) ### 5/5 — Clive Sinclair would be Proud! *2011-10-29, version v1.0* Fantastic port of the first computer game I ever played! The perfect retro fix of platformer perfection :-) This game on my Sinclair 48K personal computer got me hooked on gaming back in '85, and shows that good game play is all you need in a world of 3D 5.1 HD perfection. Takes you back to when the game was the game! ### 5/5 — Jilly t sweet *2011-10-18, version v1.0* I had this game on the speccy in 1984 on cassette and with the anti piracy colour chart lol great to play it again with the bugs fixed! I only hope they will release my most fave speccy game of all on here, Halls of the Things by design design (crystal)... ### 5/5 — I'm back in the day !! *2011-07-02, version v1.0* Superb!!! But how do I toggle off the music? I'd like to play with just sfx.. Excellent game !! ### 5/5 — Good *2011-06-23, version v1.0* My name is Daniel, I am five. I think this game is good. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2011-05-16, version v1.0* Bought jet set willy and manic miner brilliant hope there will be plenty of more speccy games on the cards, looking forward to seeing ultimate games.... attic attack psst jet pac sabre wulf to name a few. Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Jet set willy *2011-05-12, version v1.0* Get this game....it rocked when I was 9 years old and it rocks again when I'm 37!!!!
