How about some tedious comments on Manic
Miner?
o If it's true that there were only going to be 16
screens originally, I wonder which additional screens
were added at the end?
o 'Abandoned Uranium
Workings' is interesting as it seems to be the only screen
where the guardians (sea-lions) are only for aesthetic
reasons. They pose no real threat. Are there instances of
Aesthetic Guardians in JSW/remakes? Presumably so.
o Do
you think that 'The Bank' and 'The Sixteenth Cavern'
are slightly weaker designs than the other screens
(still better than I could do!). Maybe this was
intentional (the calm before the storm) but I guess the
Item-below-Transporter in 16th Cavern is a classic.
Stuart. :-)
