Better than Elite and Enduro Racer?

Common prefixes like "the" and "a" are ignored, so "The New Zealand Story" effectively begins with N, if you see what I mean.

Reason: I've said it all before about being tremendous fun and filled with quirky humour. Manic Miner is a game that, for many, defines the Spectrum. It's possibly the only game that was ported to other machines with more advanced graphical abilities yet still chose to replicate the look of the Spectrum, that speaks volumes.

And I think S needs to be Sir Fred. Controversial, perhaps, but such a great game.

Better than Zynaps?

A voting thread for each letter surely?

So we can easily have it sorted out within a year!

I think building up a list as we are, that can then be refined works, as long as M and R don't change of course.

So with 27 letters*, we could - for each one - give a week to sort out the candidates, then the second week to vote the candidates.

If we start with Monday 18th with A, we could be finished by the end of 2018...

* = Counting # (numeric) as a 'letter', if you see what I mean.

Of course everything must be done twice, for classic and modern games!
