Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with M: discussion
Why not make a poll with only two options:
- Manic Miner
- Anything else
Thus, the anti-MM union (I'm the CEO) might have a chance

I have a dossier.
You name it, it's in there - names, emails, PMs, overheard Commodian sympathies expressed in coffee shops. All of it a plot to discredit our most beloved game.
It can be deployed within 48 hours, I hope I don't have to use it.

Okay, okay. Even though Micronaut One is clearly technically superior, I’m willing to concede. Myth it is. Sheesh.
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Ok, ok, I can explain it... my only connection with C64 was a work as an advertizing model... you know... I needed money, that's all... I've always been loyal to the Spectrum... IT'S WAS JUST A F*CK*NG ADVERT! JUST A F*CK*NG ADVERT!!!
This thread should have never been made! *sigh*

I have no idea. I certainly cannot claim to have avoided the game on purpose. I have loaded Manic Miner on to my Baremulator and have given it a play. My original choice would have been Micronaught One followed by Movie, two games I spent some hours playing, now I am not so sure.

Just a reminder for Prodge, don't forget to include Manic Miner in the poll.

Or halve the poll results for it, since it’s got two Ms.

Guys, I like a joke as much as the next man, but Manic Miner is a serious matter - please save your japes for the tap room.
