Manic Miner/Jet Set Willy
This page is dedicated to the classic Spectrum platform-games Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy , originally written by Matthew Smith . They exist in many different versions, including over 60 unofficial sequels for the Spectrum alone!
The only controls may be Left, Right and Jump, but if you were expecting the information about these games to be trivial - think again!
