In his list of MM and JSW Games Andrew Broad lists Ray Coates as
the author of both Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy for the Dragon32
(and hence the co-author of John Elliott's "JSW64:Dragon").

However, on this page:

http://jswremakes.emuunlim.com/Systems/dragon.htm

(to which Andrew actually points in his list of MM and JSW games
when mentioning Dragon32)

it says that Paul Burgin is the author of MM for the Dragon32,
while Ray Coates is the author of JSW for the Dragon32.

In the Wikipedia article on Manic Miner, in the English version Ray
Coates is credited for both Dragon32 games
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manic_Miner) . However, in the Polish
version (which seems to be the second most developed one, on this
subject, among the various existing language versions -
http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manic_Miner) the credit for MM for the
Dragon32 goes to Paul Burgin.

Any comments?

The back cover of Manic Miner for the Dragon 32 (at the first link above), the scrolling message for JSW64:Dragon, and Adrian Robson's book _Miner Willy from rags to riches_ all agree that Roy Coates is the author of Manic Miner for the Dragon 32.

Paul Burgin <http://www.burgins.com/> is the author of a Dragon-emulator called T3.

P.S. It's cool to see that my website hasn't been 'fancrufted' out of the Polish variant of Wikipedia yet!
