Manic Miner for Windows (1375 words)
Manic Miner (the original or my version) is no match for Quake, you cannot meet Lara Croft there, and it doesn't have Napalm Strikes, as Worms 2 has.
Believe it or not, I started working on my remake of Manic Miner on 1992 (which means it took me 7 years!!!) It was right after I had the pleasure of playing it on my PC using the PJPP emulator program.
Note that the walkthrough video is of the original Manic Miner game (but the Windows version is so accurate that if you do the same, you'll get the same), and also that the video is quite long - a little over 23 minutes.
