....Manic Miner sets the Spectrum
off big time
Even though the Spectrum was making waves and
had some fabulous games behind it, when Manic Miner got out the world went
mad for it. Based on Miner 2049'er , this game took a rather British
humor to it and pushed the boat out. Flying feet, blokes with belly's that
opened and the infamous dancing telephones were the order of the day. The
game was pretty spanky too. This set out lovely little Speccy off to the
stars and made lots of Manic Miner clones that carried on well to the end
of the Spectrum's life.
