join the jet set.. again.

As a follow-up to the item about 'Manic Miner' and 'Jet Set Willy', poking around has revealed all manner of homebrew, adapted, and modified slants on those classic ZX Spectrum games. I particularly enjoy the Java-based 'Platform 1', since you just need to load the webpage to play it - put your highscores in comments?, if you dare, i'm No.17 currently :P And there's even a 'Jet Set Willy' hack with all-new level design devoted to The Beatles and The KLF (scroll down for info). And as a final aside, this Matthew Smith-related story is amazing - it's like you're Indiana Jones finding the Holy Grail, only the Holy Grail is.. 'Attack Of The Mutant Zombie Flesh-Eating Chickens From Mars - Starring Zappo The Dog'?!? And there's a vicious twist.
