Played 1983’s Manic Miner today. I think it’s a cult classic or something.
Ugh. Wow, quite possibly the worst platformer I’ve played on my list so far. While the graphics are decent for the hardware available, the style of the art is charming, and the level designs are decent, nearly everything else is just awful. The controls are stiff and floaty, it’s practically game breaking. I don’t think you can blame this on aging genres either. These controls are FAR worse than even Donkey Kong. There’s no sound, only terrible TERRIBLE music. Good god you have to hear this. The opening is the most ear splitting version of “The Blue Danube” you will ever hear in your life. Jesus I don’t know how they could have ever thought that sounded good?
Next up is Tapper
