(Don’t tell anyone but somewhere there’s an old copy of a Spectrum game magazine with a double page spread of a shoot-out between me and a welder from Huddersfield to see who could get the highest score on Manic Miner. He won, but I wore the best jumper. I believe Manic Miner evolved into Jet Set Willy, but you were able to get a cream for that). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex_ncfc 662 Posted September 16, 2021 Sad news, RIP Sir Clive. This is a good watch for some nostalgia. I loved my Spectrum, was still using it well into the late 90s! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
