Wow: the last eight messages here have been from eight different
authors! But that run stops at eight.

August. I'm disappointed that I won't ever be able to play Flash
Manic Miner (or Cheese, Louise!) again - especially as I had just
lost the Gold Medal, and I felt ready to pass Cavern 43 for my first
time ever - but fortunately, I was well prepared for the eventuality
of the site going AWOL before I finished JSW64: Flash Manic Miner.
My current alpha-version of JSW64:FMM includes an unplayable
prototype of Cavern 29, and I also have screenshots of Caverns 30 and
31, but not of 32 to 43.
I also have videos of Jet Set Danny playing all the rooms I've yet to
convert to the Spectrum (AFAIK, the links exist only in Danny's
DivShare account now that darnkitty.com is down). I'm sure these
videos will prove invaluable not only for converting Caverns 32 to
43, but also for setting the guardian-paths correctly.
My MM/JSW activities are on hold at the moment, due to a backlog of
tennis-reports - not to mention the distractions of a certain little
tournament in New York this fortnight - but I'm optimistic that I'll
be able to resume them in a few weeks' time.
