Thank you for posting this, I really enjoy this kind of breakdown.

Playing Bomb Jack, Bubble Bobble, Sabre Wulf and few other classics with my uncle is among my fondest childhood memories. I wonder why they haven’t gotten many modern remakes.

Licenses mostly.

I'm going to assume you had a ZX Spectrum too? Great machines, and a lot of nostalgia for me too.

I recently came across the odroid-go, which has a Spectrum emulator, so I've been working my way through Manic Miner. Awesome stuff!

This website redirects from HTTP to HTTPS, but then tries to load all its images via HTTP, making my security-aware browser hide all the images.

Oops, sorry about that. I had the Jekyll base URL set to http instead of https. I've pushed an update, might take a few minutes to appear.

Hmm that didn't work, images didn't load through https for some reason. I need to find out why and do a proper fix.

what's the deal with round 5 where it's not possible to jump high enough to collect the top row of bombs? BTW, the favorite game of my youth, thank you for this!!!
