Spectrum Computing

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.

I have never played Manic Miner . Before I vote I will play MM.

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*

By following the strict “no overhyped games” policy, obviously.

Okay, I think I’ll . . .

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.

Then stick with it, buddy!

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.

Microbot by Softek please.

No, we’ll leave that for the Best Games Beginning with T poll:

This going to end bad...

My favourite game beginning with M was Mutant Monty.

You've nominated that one an hour too late!

I don't hang around the forums as much as I should.
