    The Commodore users made it clear themselves.

    Why do you think they have a Spectrum-emulator (although BASIC) for the C64 and we don't have a Commodore-emulator for our Spectrum!

  • Manic Miner - Different Tape InlaysSo why did bug byte have two different inlays for MM? [ This Message was edited by: mlasham on 2003-07-28 12:38 ]

    Now this site is REALLY getting hardcore! ;)
    By the way, does anyone know why the title screen has a big black bit in the right hand corner - it's as if a logo has been taken off the screen, it looks odd. The C64 version doesn't have it.
