Amazing music, the idea of tidying the house so you could goto bed was cool, but the atari version had an evil glitch if anyone else ever noticed - when you lost a life - it respawned you in exact same place so you just died over and over until your lives ran out. was super annoying, could of been made much better.

Rob Hubbard's finest theme tune (and an Atari exclusive, too!) - and it soundtracked THIS? I spent ages playing this thinking it was really good - I certainly loved the concept. Then I saw other versions and realized how ripped off we Atarians really were. This could have been so much more....

This is.... *not* the best version of JSW out there. In fact I've heard it called the worst, and music aside, I'd probably agree with them. The graphics are worse than the speccy. I know that the Atari's lack of a true multicolour hi-res is a major weakness, and that medium res was probably a better choice, but they just did blockier versions of the limited spectrum graphics without (e.g.) exploiting per-pixel colour resolution and DLIs. (Look at the JSW sprite homages in Henry's House to see how they *could* have been; yeah, JSW *does* have DLIs, but only for basic gradient backgrounds). Plus, this came out three years after the original; standards had improved by then... Music is good in this version; although I slightly miss the original, this has more variety (if you listen carefully you'll hear that it goes on quite a long time before completely repeating).
