So you're admitting that Manic Miner *WAS* a computer game, you're just not allowing me to use today's generally accepted term of "PC" to describe a "Personal Computer" from the 80's if it wasn't made by IBM (one of the least successful personal computers at the time)?
Got it.
p.s. I pulled out some of my old RUN magazines. It does refer to the C-64 as a PC in the magazines from time to time when it's not calling it by name.
