| Border Effects | Feature | - | Any program implementing multicolor effects on the border area (from small effects to intensify the gameplay, to complex effects like letters scrolling or paper-border sync to extend the screen area). | |
| Flippy Flippy | Unsorted Set | - | Games released with ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 versions recorded on opposite sides of the same cassette tape. | |
| Miner Willy | Series | 3 | - | |
| Multi-machine Medium | Feature | - | This means tapes or disks containing both the ZX Spectrum version and e.g. an Amstrad CPC or Commodore 64 version. | |
| Padlock Protection | Feature | - | 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. | |
| Teleportation | Theme | - | A game that allows the player to teleport somewhere, using either technology or magic. |

| 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). |
| Remarks | The 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 Eggs | There 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. |
