Screenshot from the Sinclair ZX Spectrum version.
Manic Miner is my absolute favorite and was the first game in the Miner Willy series and if someone have missed it here comes a quick explanation.
It´s a platform game originally written for the ZX Spectrum by Matthew Smith in 1983.
The goal is to find all the flashing objects in each cavern ( There are 20 of them! ) and find the exit before the air is running out.. harden than you think! :)
Extra lives are gained every 10,000 points.
Manic Miner came to a numerous kind of machines ranging from the ZX Spectrum to the more modern Game Boy Advance!
Below you can watch my collection. Its far from complete because there are so many obscure versions way to hard to find, but never give up! :)
The most rare version is for the Tatung Einstein ( thanks Mario Castro!! )
