The original releases of ''Jet Set Willy'' for the BBC Micro and the Commodore 64 also contained bugs which made it impossible to complete the game. In the Commodore 64 version, it was impossible to reach all of the items in the ''Wine Cellar''.<ref>https://x.com/shahidkamal/status/1738243274878386498?s=61&t=t6bgzFpLEllG-Pm0Nh4odA {{Bare URL inline|date=August 2024}}</ref>

There are two versions of the original ''Jet Set Willy'' for the MSX. The Software Projects version that was sold in the UK is dated 1984 and was programmed by Cameron Else, co-winner of the ''Jet Set Willy'' competition.<ref name=cam_msx /> The other version was published by [[Hudson Soft]] in 1985 as a [[Bee Card (game cartridge)|Bee Card]] in Japan.<ref name="cam_msx" />

A port of ''Jet Set Willy'' for the [[Atari 8-bit computers]] was released by [[Tynesoft]] in 1986.<ref>{{cite web |title=Jet Set Willy |url=http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-jet-set-willy_2664.html |website=Atari Mania}}</ref> It received generally poor reviews which criticised inferior graphics and animation, but [[Rob Hubbard]]'s theme music, unique to this version, was considered a highlight.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Jet Set Willy game review|journal=[[Atari User]]|date=March 1987}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last=Short|first=Jim|title=Jet Set Willy|journal=[[Page 6]]|date=March–April 1987|issue=26|url=http://www.page6.org/archive/issue_26/page_61c.htm}}</ref> Like the Spectrum version, it was impossible to complete but for different reasons. Some of the legitimate items that were needed caused the player to lose a life (e.g. the bottles in the ''Off Licence'').

A port of the game by Tim Titchmarsh to the [[Camputers Lynx]] was released by Phoenixx Software<ref name="LYNX USER GROUP Magazine, Vol. 1 Issue 3, page 15">{{cite journal|title=Jet Set Willy advert|journal=Lynx User Group Magazine|date=1985|volume=1|issue=3|page=15|url=https://github.com/ukscone/Camputers-Lynx/blob/master/Newsletters/NLUG/LUG_issue_3.pdf}}</ref> in 1985, and was one of extremely few mainstream games to be converted for that system. The Lynx version was supplied with the cassette inlay from the Spectrum edition.<ref name="LYNX USER GROUP Magazine, Vol. 1 Issue 3, page 3">{{cite journal|title=JetSetWilly|journal=Lynx User Group Magazine|date=1985|last=Bolton|first=A|volume=1|issue=3|page=3|url=https://github.com/ukscone/Camputers-Lynx/blob/master/Newsletters/NLUG/LUG_issue_3.pdf}}</ref>

Ports from Software Projects for the [[Amiga]] and [[Atari ST]] were cancelled before release, but have since been made available on the internet.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st-jet-set-willy_9682.html | title=Jet Set Willy | publisher=AtariMania.com | access-date=2020-08-01}}</ref>
