Seminal platformer from the halcyon days of 1983. Matthew Smith's beloved Miner Willy explores 20 screens of brutal colour and spiky enemies, collecting trinkets. The peril is made more nerve-wracking with the inclusion of a dwindling air supply. Often overlooked in favour of its sequels, the game deserves its place amongst the finest of its kind. if anything, it'll guarantee you'll never hear In the Hall of the Mountain King without thinking of this home computer masterpiece again.
