If you, like me, have fond memories of Matthew Smith’s 1983 game Manic Miner (playable here), chances are you are from Europe. It’s a pivotal game in the European history of games, but little known in the U.S.
Someone out there is apparently sufficiently fond of the game to compose an opera about it.
(Philosophical question of the day: does composing an opera about something always imply a fondness of it?)
