Lol OG. Yeah i watched the video and the music made my physically dizzy.

Manic was also my first ZX spectrum game. The music haunted my dreams...... I'm not going to look at the video it may bring back that soundtrack truama

Yeah it was Stefans idea. And it is a great one! I've been trying to run a list in my head at work but it is harder than I thought.

I'm really just piggybacking off an idea from another Steam friend. But yeah it took a while to compile a list and get review each one briefly. I have had a lot of fun doing it though and my list has some definite 'same as everyone' picks but also some that might surprise you.

This is a great idea and I love reading these. So many good memories.

Manic Miner

Sure 1982 was the year Joust came out on the Atari but even though I liked Joust it doesn’t make my top 50. So we have just to be content with awesome movies in 82 such as ET, Blade Runner, The Thing, Tron and Poltergeist instead.

So roll on 1983. When I was a kid my first home computer was a ZX Spectrum 48K and Manic Miner was one of my first games. It was a weird screen of surreal and psychedelic images and colours…Floors melted, tools and weird enemies paced around the screen. The game was unforgiving of any errors and I never finished Manic Miner but this game taught me hair-line accuracy and patience. It also taught me having a button to toggle music on and off is a godsend.
