I agree. Have you noticed I wrote about "AFTA" instead of BAFTA in an earlier post?
Sometimes you just wonder why they need British funding at all.
Is Lara still British nowadays? Isn't it already part of a US company now? (I don't know.)Granted, most videogames are coming out of development sweatshops in the US or Japan these days, but that doesn't make Miner Willy/Manic Miner any less iconic in an 'of all time' sense. If Lara Croft - a more recent British character in a UK-made game, who had a massive marketing budget behind her - gets to be on the list, there's a place for our humble spelunker.
That post was indeed meant to be amusing. As for your question, there might not be many people on this forum, but the many web scraping bots here are definitely all under 40.
