Easter Eggs:

There is a screen called "Macaroni Ted", a clear reference to Technician Ted released earlier that year, whose authors Steve Marsden and David Cooke worked for the Marconi Company.

Remarks:

The original Jet Set Willy was ported to the Amstrad CPC, expanded upon and then converted back to the Spectrum, resulting in Jet Set Willy II: The Final Frontier.

Remarks:

ZXSR: Little known fact: Jet Set Willy 2 was actually the Amstrad CPC conversion of the original JSW with added screens! (I got this from an interview with the CPC programmer on the Web).
