The same goes for ports to the other 8bits at the time, they all try to look exactly like the Speccy. Perhaps I mainly have the C64 in mind here, but that's rare isn't it?
It's not that rare. Often cheap ports didn't bother to redo the graphics to better fit the target machine.
If I was going to port to the C64, I might try widening the screen to 40x16 to get rid of the fat borders.
I was going to say that redoing the graphics would be sacrilege, but then I remembered the 256 color PC port which I think is a perfect upgrade.

I'm very sad that I couldn't vote for Mutant Monty.

Me too, actually. It’s crap in a funky skillo sort of way but I have some fond memories of it. Is it the game with craziest inertia on the speccy?

If Manic Miner didn't exist, I think we'd see Match Day II leading this.

If Manic Miner didn't exist....
..then there would be no Match Point, Match Day II or Myth.
Fact.

Well, what a surprise that wasn't.
Manic Miner dominates the polling. 50% of votes have gone towards it, 20 of you picking this game.
With such support, second place is really far away, and it's Mercenary in that position, with 4 votes.
Joint third place - 3 votes each - Match Point and Myth.
Joint fourth place - Micronaut One and Movie, 2 votes each.
Then in fifth, all the ones with a single vote each: Marauder; Match Day; Match Day II; Maziacs; Metabolis and Moron.

That’s twenty people who haven’t played any other game on the Spectrum, clearly.

I'm astonished not a single vote for Midnight Resistance. That's how utterly dominant Manic Miner is in our circles.
