Jet Set Willy! That was awesome, but not as awesome as Chuckie Egg.

Ha ha you love it and you know it. your passionate about games. If you weren't then you wouldnt have written destinyquest!

I had a go at the flash version of manic miner (they got that jetset willy too). you need the patience of a saint to play that game!! v frustrating!

and thanks for introducing me to a quirkafleeg. had to google that one! >.>

Heya Ian! Good to see you on the forums at last

Manic Miner is older than that I think. It came out in 1983. Yes, it makes me feel old. Mind you, I was much more of a Jet Set Willy fan (I could perform a quirkafleeg like a pro in those days!). I was also a bit partial to Horace Goes Skiing and Horace and the Spiders.
