The photograph of the disk itself is featured here. It deserves special mention as the disk contains both Jet Set Willy and Rig Attack, but the disk cover has no mention of the second game.

"Spectrum Diamond"- The Jet Set Willy's Documentary
Condominium, an Italian company devoted to the development and production of audiovisual products, has released "Spectrum Diamond - Genius and Legend of Matthew Smith", a documentary about the figure of Matthew Smith, the original autor of Jet Set Willy.
It's a fan's production with an ethereal drive and an atmosphere of mistery and esotericism around the coder and his weird games. English/Finnish language, Italian subtitles.

"1982,
Wallasey, England, almost Wales.
Not much of a place.
Mopeds. Pubs. Sniffing glue. Hicks from the sticks.
Nowhere.
Mattew Smith’s born here.
One day, at school, he fiddles with a Tandy,
a nearly serious computer and voila’, presto!
He becomes the programmer
of the best-selling videogame for ZX Spectrum, JET SET WILLY.
He’s just turned 18.
He gets rich, ish, and blows all the money in drugs and spare parts for bikes. Then he disappears. Thank you so much."
