Animated platform

In what I confidently predict will be a year in which I release updates to some of the disassemblies that are hosted on this site, the first ones to see a new release are Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy.

First of all, Manic Miner’s bugs page has swelled by 50% to an impressive three entries. The new entry on the block concerns the platform in Amoebatrons’ Revenge whose third row of pixels is animated, as if it were a conveyor. This is one of those bugs that I don’t remember whether I ever noticed back in the day. But I noticed it again recently, and have duly documented it for your edification.

Next, I have provided a POKE for each game that gives Willy unlimited time to complete his task. Use it either with the infinite lives POKE for complete invincibility, or without for the freedom to navigate the caverns and rooms tantalisingly mixed with a sense of impending doom lest you mess up too many jumps that require perfect precision.

And that’s all the disassembly news (for now).
