Manic Miner

 I can remember this as THE reason to buy a ZX Spectrum back in 1982/1983.

Manic Miner was THE game to have….I recall getting to level 16 and having to abandon because my dinner was ready!!!  No pause button..pah!

 9/10 for pure playability.

Manic Miner for Windows

Can you remember Outrun from SEGA?

 

I can remember this game with it’s hydraulic left/right movement in the arcade.

I didn’t play it much because it cost 30p or 40p if I remember rightly.

Today the graphics look diabolical…but in the arcade you always had an audience if you played it.  And the car moved really good hydraulically.

Something that I will remember forever, the Outrun years!
