Try and get hold of the verion of Chuckie Egg, it's as good if not 
better than the Beeb one :) Other gems are the Dragon versions of Manic 
Miner and Jet Set Willy both of which though only in 2 colours, squeeze 
more levels into 32K than the spectrum had in 48....

Ok I'll stop rambling now.

Cheers.
