Reviews for Paddy (#10029)

Review by YOR on 03 Apr 2019 (Rating: 2)

Well this is a unique one to review. Currently MIA on World Of Spectrum, this has now be preserved by the good folks at Spectrum Computing! So here we have Paddy, looking a bit suspiciously like Miner Willy, ahem, I think we can see where this is going. We also have Archie Arrow, Bertie Balloon and Sid Security Guard, but Sid won't be making an appearance because of reason. Indeed it's another Manic Miner type game and it's not a good one. The keys appear to be non-existent as I could move the man at all, so I had to use a joystick mapped to the keyboard and even then the game doesn't respond well to the controls anyway as in the most crucial of times he won't even jump, and even when he does it's rubbish anyway. Poor Paddy, he lives again after many years in MIA oblivion only to be unloved forever.

1984 Dollarsoft (UK)
by Richard Stevenson

This is a poor version of Manic Miner with a slight twist. Richard Stevenson was probably quite young or inexperienced by this time and so ended up with a fairly bad copy of the classic.
