Nice, Manic Miner has been always one of my favorite MSX games.

Was playing Manic Miner the other day using WHDLoad. Will have to give this one a go :-)

Manic Miner was too hard for me

mjnurney · 16 March 2015, 11:52

manic miner was hard i ply made it a couple of screens in..

this is an easier game , although I've made level one tricky just like the original.

Manic Miner was an awesome game. One of my childhood favourites. Never quite finished it but I did come very near

I can still get a long way through it. The Warehouse level was particularly hard

mjnurney · 17 March 2015, 01:12

thats a good idea :-)

kamelito · 17 March 2015, 13:02

One of my fav too, played it on the Oric which had 32 levels, the ZX Spectrum had only 20 IIRC. We use to play it all night with friends if you died you let the keyboard to the next guy in the queue.

I tried to play it with Amikit. Every other menu option seems to work fine, except "start game" which results in message "file not found".

mjnurney · 21 March 2015, 18:58

Oops I'll have a look, it did work fine in fsuae 3.1 workbench

oops yes your right , i can only run it when its zipped on the Amiga ....strange

supaduper · 21 March 2015, 21:18

mjnurney · 22 March 2015, 15:09

mjnurney · 24 March 2015, 01:34

lightcycle · 26 March 2015, 12:43

nice effort.seems too easy though.i'm a massive manic miner fan for zx spectrum(cant tell you how many times i completed it..lol) so i hope to see this develop further.

mjnurney · 26 March 2015, 20:46

i have more levels to add.

how far did you get?

lightcycle · 26 March 2015, 22:24

i went round all 20 levels 5 times in one game.recently won a competition on google +.
30 years of playing manic miner on zx spectrum really paid off.
