ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Bread Bin & Cartridge Ep.35 r1 — Manic Miner — 26 October 1983.
Matthew Smith's mad underground platformer was the talk of the letters pages, with Popular Computing Weekly readers swapping high scores past a hundred thousand. Culture Club were at number one with Karma Chameleon, Sam Neill was Reilly, Ace of Spies on ITV, Rentaghost and Saturday Superstore were on the BBC, and the Acorn Electron had just landed in the shops.
Lee and Mark set the scene with the chart, telly, toys and shop prices, then get into the reviews, Miner Willy's twenty caverns, the air supply, the In the Hall of the Mountain King music, the Bug-Byte and Software Projects versions, the penguin cheat, and a sound desk and overall verdict across the Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and BBC Micro.
Hosts: Lee & Mark Webb.
