Unlesssomeonestole it off my computer and put it out there without meknowing{:~). I've been playing it through again myself to test it,and Ihave to say I think it's one of the most complete andtotallycustomized mods out there (in terms of all new rooms, tilesandsprites). Although there are some other good ones I've played,alot of them keep the original graphics and just have newrooms,while some change the graphics but the rooms and map areverysimilar to the original. Whereas, WGA changed about 98% oftheoriginal stuff (Willy even has a new hat, anIndy-styleadventurer's Fedora).” - Terry.IMPORTANT NOTE: Matthew Smith and Elite have previouslyannouncedthat they are to co-operate in the development andpublication of anew game. ‘Willy’s Great Adventure’ is NOT thatgame. A furtherannouncement about that game will be made at a laterdate.This Press Release is published by:Elite Systems Ltd.
