Multi-machine MediumFeature-
This means tapes or disks containing both the ZX Spectrum version and e.g. an Amstrad CPC or Commodore 64 version.
Padlock ProtectionFeature-
Any protection system similar to Padlock System's coded cards. The protection system was produced in conjunction with Software Projects, consisting of a card with numbers and letters that corresponded with a row of four colours. The player upon loading the game would be presented with a number, and using the card, had to match that number to four colours on screen, for instance A1 would need the player to input Blue, Purple, Green, Blue, getting the code correct would start the game. If the incorrect colours were input, the process would just continue to loop.
TeleportationTheme-
A game that allows the player to teleport somewhere, using either technology or magic.

Notes
TypeText
RemarksZXSR: 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).
RemarksThe original {Jet Set Willy|Software Projects Ltd|0002589} was ported to the Amstrad CPC, expanded upon and then converted back to the Spectrum, resulting in Jet Set Willy II: The Final Frontier.
Easter EggsThere is a screen called "Macaroni Ted", a clear reference to {Technician Ted|Hewson Consultants Ltd|0005160} released earlier that year, whose authors Steve Marsden and David Cooke worked for the Marconi Company.
