A relatively new ZX Spectrum game for your enjoyment this evening, as Balford has released Manic Mower the 24th Anniversary edition for the ZX Spectrum. Originally a 1992 game that made its way onto Sinclair User 129 cover tape, has been remade and recoded in assembly and made available as a Tap and TZX File. The gameplay from the original has been left alone as much as possible, while music has been added by Gasman with testing by Alex Gledhill.
