Here’s one for retro games. Elite is porting their classic ZX Spectrum game Jet Set Willy to the Xbox 360 and Windows Phone.

The game will be arriving on both platforms simultaneously.

Elite MD Steve Wilcox explained, "The release of Jet Set Willy 360 as an Xbox Live Indie Game and as a Windows Phone game is the next exciting step in bringing classic ZX Spectrum games to a new audience, via new devices and platforms and in the process restoring some order to the market.

"We began doing this some 22 months ago with our ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection Apps for iOS devices and in the intervening period there have been more than 100,000 paid instances. The release of Jet Set Willy 360 follows the positive reception and a successful launch of Manic Miner 360 as an Xbox Live Indie Game and as a Windows Phone game. It’s expected to be followed by more classic ZX Spectrum Games."

The game will be arriving on the 24th August as an Xbox Live Indie game on the Xbox 360 and also to Marketplace as a non –Xbox Live game.
