Me too, like many I attempted to be the first to ever complete it only to find out the 83rd item was both invisible and more importantly inaccessible. A set of 'pokes' was brought out to fix this and some other issues later on, you can still look this up for more info on google. 1 Your box will be CASHPOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyMonster Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 AFAIK - the Dragon 32 (and its bog brother the 64) first machines to have keys on the keyboard rather than rubber buttons...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene02 Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 There were a lot of machines prior to this that had plastic keyboard, Vic20,Acorn BBC, TRS-80 and C64, all released before the Dragon. Vic20 was released very early 1980's, I remember getting one for Christmas 1981 from Rumbelows, remember that shop lol. I was only 9!!!! I remember the following year everyone was playing the ZX Spectrum and took the absolute piss out of me with my low specced machine ha ha.

MPU_FIVE Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Wow! I didn't know JSW was on the Dragon 32... I still own a Dragon 32 tho not played it for years... must dig it out the loft sometime. Only have a handful of games for it... Jet Set Willy is not one of them, sadly! Cheers, Gary.

The room above the Ballroom with the rabbits dancing kept killing me if I recall. Must have been a massive error in the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been a massive error in the program. There were a few bugs that needed fixing and some less important ones. I reckon they must have employed the same testers as bell fruit did for the DOND games 1 1 Your box will be CASHPOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
