''Manic Miner was released yesterday, ahead of time, on Xbox Live under the Indie Games banner by the classic games publisher Elite. Rather than run through the usual rigmarole of reviewing it like a modern game, I thought I’d do things a little differently, simply because it’s unfair to mark it on the same scale.
For most gamers over the age of 25, Manic Miner is one of the first titles they may have played on a home computer. Whether you were a Speccy, Amstrad or Commodore kid (or one of the many other formats it became available for), Manic Miner is one of those games that should stick out in your memory; I know it does for me.''
Its creator eliminated components that were not essential to speed up its development, such as the Bluetooth of the controls.

As a kid i had some heart attacks playing this game. The soundtrack right on point with those close calls. I love this game.
Agreed. I still love it and play it often. Still sucks that Disney was like, nah... this game didn't do well, when it did well against other racers and reviewed well.
Split/Second was one of the game I enjoyed playing. In fact it's still the most popular video on my YouTube channel. It's a gameplay of Split/Second posted 15 years ago. This past month 25 people viewed it. Split/Second is a favourite amongst racing gamers worldwide.
This game was super awesome and hella fun playing split-screen with the homie. Trashing your friend’s car during split-screen competition using one of those QuickTime events was so funny haha
From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
Ah that lovely retros charm :D
