I agree about the speed of progress thing. It took me ages to get past Eugene's Lair in Manic Miner, and I died approx 3.4 seconds later!

Right, I've got a problem.
Arjun says that once you have loaded a game and selected the 256 option from the Effects list, you should be presented with a wizard. All I get happen is that the Spectrum screen goes black. Is that right or not? -

The actual title of the room in question is "Eugene's Lair". I think it is in one of the unofficial fan-sequels in which the Pink Floyd track "Careful With That Axe..." is referenced. -

Pinball Wizard by CP Software comes to mind, especially as it's 16K. Earth Shaker and The Bobby Yazz Show are great ones from covertapes.
