Game challenge

So I was having a convo on the PC gaming section about games in general and it got me thinking. What do people think of and hwo would they get on with old school hard games?

 

So I was thinking, I would put up a game and see what the best score people could manage. If it kicks off and people are interested we could do a weekly thing

 

So clearly there will need to be a rule or two about the games we choose so I was thinking in game browser of some kind and free. The older (or at least in my mind) and the harder the better

 

So I start with Manic Miner. A game I will automatically assume no one has played before :D 

 

How the game works (from Wikipedia, most people write better than me  ;)):

The game ends when the player has no lives left; extra lives are gained every 10,000 points,or when the player completes all twenty caverns and escapes to the open air.

 

Game:

Oh and this is my High score so far

PS: It took me 3 tries to get past the 1st level and like 6 to get this far  :o Been way too long since I played this and I was actually not even that good tbh Still loved the challenge :)
