Manic Miner for Sinclair Spectrum 48k
manicminer

Play the original game now on Retrobabble

One of the first and best platformers to come from the UK. Based on the American game Miner 2049er, Manic Miner was, and still is an absolute classic.

The games author, Matthew Smith is notoriously eccentric and this is demonstrated by the weird and wacky pythonesque humour shown in the game's design.

Wacky amaebotrons, bouncing cheques, man-eating toilets and an alien kong beast - this game has the lot.





Many thanks to JX-Speccy for providing the excellent Spectrum Emulator. http://www.gameszoo.net/jxspeccy/?mn=home
