which is ironic because I'm very precise about the release-dates for
my own games!
I think I read somewhere that Manic Miner was released in August
1983.
And I guess Jet Set Willy must have been released in the first
quarter of 1984, because of the "April Showers" room in _Your
Sinclair_.
The MegaTree was started in July 1984 and abandoned in September
1984.
Jet Set Willy II was released in 1985 - unfortunately I cannot
consult my _Sinclair User_ archive to remind myself which month JSW
II was reviewed, as my mother threw them out without consulting me
several months ago! :-||

* Manic Miner 4 (30th September 1997)
