Episode 17 sees the Bucket List Gamers look at Matthew Smith's surreal ZX Spectrum Miner saga, with 1983's Manic Miner (30) and the 1984 follow-up Jet Set Willy (55).Hints of Monty Python cross with imagery that wouldn't be out of place on an LSD trip, as Willy the Miner makes his way through a plethora of bizarre locations including The Nightmare Room, The Cuckoo's Nest, The Entrance to Hades, The Endorian Forest and Eugene's Lair.You're going to need to perform a Quirkafleeg to get through this one!We also discuss some games that SHOULD have been on the list that aren't, namely Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon, and the mysterious ways in which Retro Gamer's list was put together.Enjoy!
