@stevewetherill@oldbytes.space Another great read Steve!
I can remember vividly my birthday in 1985. With a fresh tenner in hand I went to John Menzies and bought JSW2 and the current issue of Your Spectrum which had hacked the game to bits with a variety of POKEs and room teleporter, plus the full map of the game.
Later, I had to rebuy JSW2 on its budget re-release as I'd lost the inlay with the massive code card!
MM/JSW/JSW2, some of the best games on the ZX Spectrum. While we had a port of Manic Miner for the SAM Coupe in 1992 (with 60 caverns!), but JSW was never licensed/ported over. I filled the platforming gap with my 'Money Bags' Trilogy of games, originally releasing them between 1995-2004. (1 and 1.5 have since been re-released on the coverdisks with SAM Revival magazine and I'll shortly be re-releasing 2 as an updated edition)

@quazarsamcoupe the Sam Coupe was very colorful! What is it, 16 colors from 128?
