The ZX Spectrum classic's XBLIG port/remake finally has a release date.
The Recreated ZX Spectrum, the only authorised full-size recreation of the 5-million selling 1980s personal computer, officially launches today. Built to the same dimensions and featuring the same 40 rubber keys, the recreated device mimics the look and feel of the original Sinclair ZX Spectrum to an uncanny degree and allows for the first time ever Spectrum games to be played authentically on any screen – tablet, phone or computer.
Meet the near perfect revamp of the ever popular home computer from the 80s. You’ll fall in love all over again.
British independent video game developer Elite Systems has submitted its first Xbox LIVE title, Maniac Miner 360, to Microsoft for review.
Hey N4G!
Remember when everyone was concerned about the new dash saying how no one could find the indie channel and bashing MS for this. Remember the heat those articles generated on this site?
as if those people cared about the indie games.
That's just awesome...try to beat that game. That is only for the real hardcore...it still is hard as hell. Modern day games look soft compared to Manic Miner (the original). I hope they didn't change anything, like make it easier.
I remember playing this when younger. My friends had Spectrum 48k and I had Commodore 64. It was one of the best games out at the time.
Great game & very hard.
Standout title of its era, along with it's sequel Jet Set Willy.
