Unbeknownst to many, the microbee can also run ported ZX Spectrum games.

Haha. That's great!
Is there a list somewhere of ported Speccy games?

I didn't even have access to a Microbee back in the day, but I believe I had one of the first Speccies in Australia and one of the first games I bought by mail order from the UK was Manic Miner. It was also one of the first games I had success disassembling. I used to make my own levels and sprites.
Recently I've installed lots of emulators for 8-bit systems and specially Manic Miner for all of those that I could find.
Is this Microbee port available? I can't find any other info on it. Unlike many ports the screenshots look like a pixel to pixel match to the original.

Are you sure? The piano keyboard on the microbee version is correct and the speccy version wrong.
