bit garish, bruv
The SAM Coupé port is outstanding.
You're right, this is much better. The music is still overbearing though.

What’s more, it was coded in 8 weeks by a 17 year old. Matthew Smith revolutionized video games then faded into obscurity, blighted by drug addiction and mental health issues. It’s one of the biggest tragedies in gaming.
that spastic bong was just copying an American game, Miner 2049er.
oi!
>Arguably one the most influential games of all time
nope.
>Matthew Smith revolutionized video games
100% false
i love this photo the most. spectrum fans love this guy but don't like hearing about how he used a TRS80 to program spectrum software.
At least say why it's false you low effort contrarian shitposter
>creates two games that changed zero landscape of gaming
>but why is it false?
>Arguably one the most influential games of all time
completely delusional. it changed nothing, and people are supposed to defend schizo nonsense and give detailed replies on such an insignificant career? pure cope of uk morons. people that didn't own a c64 or speccy didn't even know he existed, and he had no influence on later games.
No one knew what Manic Miner or Jet Set willy was outside of bong land.
wrong, everyone who's not a total wanker knows him here. his influence is acknowledged by several big name industry people as well as video game reseachers going back to the 80s and 90s.
piss off mate.
>it set the blueprint for the platformer genre
kek no, that would be Donkey Kong which came out 2 years earlier in 1981, you Bongs are so deluded.
What's the significance of the keyboard? Does it show you the keys being played for the music or something?
Yes, it shows notes played. ZX Spectrum games before Manic Miner barely had any sounds at all as the computer lacked a proper sound chip, so Matthew Smith was showing off by (horribly) playing actual music on the title screen.
I don't know shit about british games but that screenshot looks really garish. Did they actually look like that on real hardware?
It probably looked worse.
Get yer Willy outta my face, pardner
