Hello,

I'm asking myself, if there are arcade-versions of the following games:

Jetset Willy
Manic Miner Miner 2049er
Jumpman
other C64-classics?

I found Lode Runner - Dig Fight. Is there existing the same game
without "two screens"?

Thank you!
Bastian

No there are not. I believe the 8-bit computers were adopted for use in
some arcade machines, but the home video games weren't converted.

There are emulators for home video game systems. Ever hear of MESS?
