On a personal note, I think the sequel to the M Miner and JSW should be completed so we can all get to play it, and not sold off. What a sad ending to what could have been a truely magnificent Trilogy if the sale goes ahead. Money brings around corruption and is the downfall of mankind. Here is the perfect example below. Sure it would be nice to be rich, famous and own a production company like the hot babe Alicia Silverstone from the USA, but surely even all that glamour and fame takes it's toll. Money can buy everything except happiness. I got friends in the USA who don't even know who Alicia Silverstone is??? I live in the UK and got a phone no for Alicia Silverstone c/o Columbia Pictures :) I know it's a bit off topic, but so is the source code being sold on E-Bay. Which is worse liking Alicia Silverstone who is 27 or putting the development disks on E-bay? I know, do you?

This post is to let you know that I plan to sell the development
disks of "Mega-tree" to coincide with the 20th anniversary; the
third game in the "Manic Miner" / "Jet Set Willy" series which was
never completed.

What a howlingly bad idea it is to sell the Megatree disks to the
person who is prepared to pay the most amount of money, instead of
giving them to one who is actually capable of rescuing the game!

This could be our one chance to save the legendary Willy Meets The
Taxman... or to lose it forever. The fate of the Holy Grail of Manic
Mining should NOT be decided by an auction, but rather: by a council.

BTW:
1. Lee Tonks wrote Manic Miner 3 (Tales from a Parallel Universe)
2. The MM/JSW series can never be completed because the
possibilities for sequels are infinite :)
