Spectrum once in a while! ;-)
I miss the quirky features of Spectrum JSW though.
A couple of features I found interesting - and I'm not saying they're
necessarily a bad thing - is that the ramps don't pick you up at the
bottom, and you can't walk or jump against the direction of a
conveyor.
It also seems you can fall without dying (à la We Pretty, Goodnite
Luddite and Willy's Afterlife), and there aren't enough things to
kill you! ;-)
