#0082 Jet Set Willy

This game... OMG this game is weird. You play as a guy who is trying to go to bed but his abusive wife is amking him gather things first. So you have to scower this deranged house, avoiding a mulitude of obstacles such as dancing razor blades, buzz saws and even flying pigs. all while an 8 bit rendition of some classical song (I think it's Bach but I'm not 100%) the entire game feels like some poor man's nightmare. It's almost reminds me of Silent Hill in how this man's hell has come to life inside his very home. There's some serious imagry and symolism here if you just look.

Not only that, but apparently this game was unfinishable in it's original format, just to add to the never ending hell this man but be put through.

Unfortunately the controls make for a very poor platformer. Same too. Game has a some serious potential.

Next up: Pac-Land
