This, from the superb retrogaming YouTuber Kim Justice, has landed very timely, considering we've been chatting about the merits of Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy in recent weeks.
It's just over an hour long, and it's highly compelling. It covers more than just MM and JSW. Styx gets a fair review, and there's plenty to learn from the post-JSW days...

MSX version is surprisingly good, looks like a perfect pixel port from Spectrum and this two versions are the best, I think.
