We are pleased to introduce a fun variant of Manic Miner, a 'High Score Challenge' The object is very simple, just obtain the maximum possible score for a cavern! The idea was inspired from a topic on the WOS forum a while ago.
 
Upon loading, you will be presented with a menu list of the standard caverns, simply press A to T to select one. This will then become the starting (and only) cavern to play. The caverns are completely unaltered from the standard game, as are the scoring counts.
 
Upon completion of a cavern once all the air has been removed, the game will purposely freeze. At this point you can make a note of your score. To restart the cavern at this point simply press BREAK (Caps+Shift)
 
The game is provided as both a conventional .tap tape file as well as a .z80 snapshot image.
 
Please feel free to tell us your best scores and we will update the rankings below!
 
Please note the following very minor changes were necessary to the game engine itself to facilitate:
There are infinite lives provided
A loss of life will cause both the cavern to be reset as normal as well as the score
The "Teleporter" (603179) function is disabled
There is no demo mode as such, as there is nothing really to 'demo'
As noted above, once a cavern is complete the game will freeze until BREAK is pressed
If you wish to change the cavern it will be necessary to either reload the snapshot or do a POKE 34274 , x , with x being 0 to 19 for the cavern choice.
 
Enjoy! 😄
 
The order in which players who achieved the same score are mentioned shows who achieved this score first.

Following a discussion here about the JSW engine pausing after a life loss or other suitable delay to allow the player to re-adjust themselves, I decided just for fun to re-instate the key code protection request upon a life loss.
It will accept any code as I'm not cruel enough to demand the player enter the correct code.
The game was also much cut down to only a few rooms, 7 in total are present but only 6 of them are needed to complete the game and the other one is inaccessible without cheating.
The .zip contains:
The game file in regular .tap format, the game code is compressed slightly.
A map file, not that it would really be needed!
An .rzx playback although @jetsetdannyhas a much more efficient one, this was not included in the files as it was not part of the .zip released in the topic.
A brief readme detailing the changes to the game itself.

A large selection (more than 60**) of various character sets for the Spectrum.
 
The file includes a quick 'viewer / loader / saver' I put together to make it very easy to pick out the set you require. Please examine the small random selection included in the screenshots for examples.
 
Simply load and run the program then following the onscreen instructions press 'L' to load the next set or 'S' to save the current set. An option to change the background colours was also added (press 'C' to do this) as sometimes it is best to view a set in a variety of different paper colours as some work best on lighter background and some are more suited to darker colours.
 
Enjoy!
 
** Note: There is a slight possibility of a duplicate or two however similar 'designed' sets do look quite similar with just minor variations.

Thoroughly Modern Willy v0.02
--------------------------------
(April 23rd spectrumcomputing.co.uk minigame competition)
Whilst sorting through boxes in an attempt to tidy up the attic, Willy stumbled across some machinery left by the previous owner, Dr Jones. As he investigated further, he knocked a switch over and the machinery started to hum into life. Before Willy can say 'Quirkafleeg' there is a blinding light...
As his sight returns, Willy determines he is no longer in the attic. He's been flung into the future - space year 2018 to be precise. Willy proceeds to do what he's always done when faced with a tight spot - collect all the flashing objects - strewn across six screens - and hope for the best!
Some hints for getting by in the future:
- Switches can change the layout of a room and make areas safe or unsafe.
- It's unwise to move around in the dark.
- Willy's box moving skills are still useful in the future.

The download .zip includes:
the game file in .tap format
a readme text file
two .scr files of the game
a map (from maps.speccy.cz)
a .pok file (from Spider)
an .rzx (by Pavel Plíva)

A small set of six characters:
Miner Willy on the Barrel
Miner Willy on the Plinth
Jet Set Willy on the Barrel
Jet Set Willy on the Plinth
Maria on the Barrel
Maria on the Plinth
 
All images are the same size (total 770px x 1282px) ,  each 'block' being 30px square with a 2px grid to help easily determine where each one starts and ends.
I did not create mirror images as that is easy enough to do and also subjective to if both the character and/or the object (Plinth/Barrel) should also be mirrored or not.
 
These may be suitable for printing out or perhaps via craftwork, creating a model of your own. Enjoy! 🙂

A small patch file for the Dragon 32/64 version of Jet Set Willy
Written in 1985 by Paul Burgin
There is a single option choice of:
Extra lives , Infinite lives or Immunity
 
The supplied .zip contains a standard .cas file for the Dragon. This should be loaded first then once options are chosen you're prompted to load in JSW
 
 

JetSetWilly Screen Designer for the Dragon 32/64 range of machines.
As can be seen by the screenshots, it offers a screen and title screen editor as well as the ability to 'compile' the saved data into a stand-alone game with options on the total number of objects to collect as well as a 'finishing' room as well.

A small patch file for the Dragon 32/64 version of Manic Miner

Several options are presented with either a Y/N prompt or numerical input:
Infinite lives
Number of lives
Continue facility
Starting level
 
The supplied .zip contains a standard .cas file for the Dragon. This should be loaded first then once options are chosen you're prompted to load in MM
 

A small variation on the original.
Two lives are provided per cavern.
How far can you honestly get without rollbacks or any cheating ? 🙂
 
Note 1 : Although there is a small piece of patch code in the loader to try to ensure the main loader works in later Spectrum models, it may be best to load in 48K mode on these machines.
Note 2 : There is a very simple 'anti tamper' check present but rather than punish the player, it will simply remove the detected cheat.
 
Otherwise, enjoy.

The initial idea of this game was to take a different twist on the release of the "Manic Miner - Hi-Score Challenge" game, which, although was reasonably successful in itself, did have some quite limiting factors, namely being forced to either POKE or reload to change the cavern, which meant multiple cavern completion times were not possible.
 
With this in mind, Andy decided to make a cut-down version of “Manic Miner”, featuring a mere ten caverns. For the sake of traditionalism the first and last caverns, (those obviously being “Central Cavern” and “The Final Barrier”) were kept.
It was decided to simply create two other, new versions of it based on what we had, so we would have a total of three games. The new ones being an ”easy” version and a ”hard” version. The thoughts here were to make the ”easy” version a little bit more player- friendly than the original and the hard version slightly more trouble for the player.
More details of the changes and details between each version amongst other things are in the readme file.
The download .zip contains a standard .tap file of the game as well as a more detailed readme.txt file
We hope you enjoy this game as much as we did putting it together and look forward to seeing your high-scores, reading any comments and/or feedback on it. We feel it is an interesting slight twist to the original in offering the choice of skill levels to play at.

A port of Manic Miner for the Primo computer.
The game very closely follows the original Spectrum version albeit in monochrome, all caverns are present and it looks and plays very closely to the original in general.
The code appears to be based on the Bug-Byte version and the original authors attribution remains intact too.
The two game files are inside a .zip for convenience. They are identical aside from their format, being a .ptp and a .pri file respectively.
 
Thank you to @pgyuri for bringing this variant to our attention. 🙂

JSW Mono Plus
A small expansion on the existing 'JSW Mono' variant offering a choice of colours!
The download consists of a .tap tape file and a small 'tech notes' text file covering a few details of interest.
 
Although the patch to set 'JSW Mono' is readily available from John Elliott's site (home of the brilliant JSWED tool) and  it is indeed quite possible to find a prebuilt game file with it applied from other sites, both with and without bug fixes it is by it's nature slightly limited in what colours are permitted.
Monochrome does not always have to mean white text on black paper!
 
Upon loading the player is presented with a neat and tidy menu offering a range of suggested presets, selectable by a letter key:
White ink with black paper
White ink with black paper and bright enabled (This is the original 'JSW Mono patch' effect output when applied to the game engine)
The above options are also offered in inverse! That being white paper with black ink, again available with or without bright.
A basic 'green screen' choice is available, limited to green ink on black paper but with the option of bright enabled or not. Thought was given to offering an 'amber' choice too as 'back in the day' there were amber 'mono' monitors around as well as the more common green-screen and black-white ones. Unfortunately it was felt that the Spectrum's yellow was not really quite adequate enough to pass itself off as an amber mono display, so the option of a preset for this is not initially offered however, read on about choices...

To allow further visual entertainment, the player may select their own preference for desired ink , paper , bright and (if they insist!) flash options. A basic sanity check is applied to prevent the player choosing the same value for paper and ink and a further check to confirm they really do want flash enabled. Upon completion of picking the colour options the text for the custom option is displayed in those colours.
Please refer to screenshots of the menu, it was written to be self-explanatory as far as sensibly possible.
The player may at this stage change their mind and pick a default value or re-enter a choice of custom values.
 
When happy pressing the 'R' key will execute the game code, this is necessary even if one of the pre-defined choices is selected. A basic check is present to ensure an option has been chosen before the 'R' key will function as no option is selected by default. The currently "active choice" is shown by the menu letter control key being set to flash. Again please take a look at the screenshots.
We hope you enjoy this small expansion tweak to the existing 'JSW Mono' !

An interesting twist to a regular Manic Miner game!
 
Miner Willy can only 'see' what his lamp would conventionally light, making the game much much harder to play.
 
Both BB and SP variants are included in individual zip files (as .tzx tape format) as well as the authors instructions with patch file to allow this change to be applied to third party games too.
 
The .tzx's are 'ready to play' complete with loader. A small change to the original loading screen was applied too, in essence the attribution text present in the SP variant loading screen is applied to the BB version as well as the removal of the 'flash' effect from the screen itself.
 
Enjoy!

Manic Miner 2020 - Special Edition
 
This small eight cavern mini game is dedicated to all essential workers in any industry or sector who are continuing to keep things moving during these highly unprecedented times of the 2020 lockdown. We say "Thank You"
The game engine itself is slightly modified from standard, the main changes of note being:
 
The caverns themselves are identical in layout of guardians and cells to the original except they are mirrored versions!
There is approximately a 30 seconds air grace period upon entering each cavern
If the air supply should for some reason actually run out during play the game will continue without loss of a life
The bonus for making Kong fall into the Portal is increased
Pressing Break during play to abort the same will unlike the default Manic Miner update the highscore
 
The caverns to play are as follows:
Eugene's Lair
Miner Willy meets the Kong Beast
Wacky Amoebatrons
Attack of the Mutant Telephones
Ore Refinery
Skylab Landing Bay
The Warehouse
Solar Power Generator
Should perhaps also be noted that both Kong and Amoebatron's screens in the original game are used twice, here the versions used are the second appearance of each as these variants are a fraction more difficult.
We will keep a top-x record of players scores too:
 
:1st: - 41842 - jetsetdanny
:2nd: - 40173 - Spider
:3rd: - 36281 - MtM
4th -

Thank you , and enjoy! 🙂

Manic Miner - The Big Bonus Edition
 
This is a very simple modification of Manic Miner to provide a higher score compared to a standard version. In addition to this, a few small minor (miner?) changes were also made to improve the game a fraction. Care was taken in what changes were made to avoid an insane score value being obtainable.
The 'score changes' performed were as follows:
 
1. Item Collection: Changed to 1,000 points per item from its default of 100.
2. Air Bonus: Changed to 10 from its default of 1 per air unit remaining upon cavern completion.
3. Kong Bonus: Changed to 1,000 from its default of 100 per block the Kong Beast falls.
4. Extra life: Changed to award an extra life at 100,000 points instead of its default of 10,000 points. This was necessary to prevent an excess of extra lives being awarded!
 
***********************************************
Update December 2019 by Ian Rushforth
 
A Cheat Mode has been added, which is activated by the BASIC loader if the player presses '$' during loading. i.e. the 'SYMBOL SHIFT' and '4' keys simultaneously. The game then enters 'Mega Bonus' mode, allowing the player to accrue even higher scores than in the 'standard' Big Bonus Edition! (Each of the four 'score changes' listed in bullet points 1-4 above are scaled up by an extra factor of 10.)
 
The 'High Score/Score' row, which is printed at the bottom of the screen during play, is rearranged for the Mega Bonus Edition to allow for higher scores to be accommodated - it is now quite possible to reach a score of a million points!
 
A 'bug/flaw/imperfection' in the original 'Manic Miner' has been addressed - it used to be the case that if you exceeded the previous High Score during a game, then the High Score was updated 'behind the scenes' at the beginning of execution of the 'Game Over' routine, but the new High Score could not be viewed on the screen until the next game had begun. In this version, once you attain a new High Score during a game, then as soon as that game ends the new High Score is printed onto the 'Game Over' screen just as the 'Boot of Doom' begins to descend!
 
Finally, a couple of visual glitches from the original game were fixed. More technical details can be found in the 'Readme' .txt file which accompanies the game.
 
***********************************************

The initial idea of this small game occurred to Andy one boring weekend afternoon. It was to make a mini "25 items and 25 rooms" variant of JSW, but after trying this out, in reality it did not seem that much fun. Thoughts then turned to have a grand total of 100 items spread around 25 modified rooms. This involved much demolition and rebuilding of Willy's original mansion to accomplish sensibly!
 
Some of the conventional paths to reach certain items are slightly altered, although the game room layouts are (broadly speaking at least) not too far from the original game.
 
The download .zip contains a standard .tap file of the game as well as a more detailed readme.txt file
 
We hope you enjoy this game as much as we did putting it together and look forward to reading any comments and/or feedback on it.

Manic Miner for the BBC Micro. The conversion was written by D.J.Coathupe.
 
Two completely distinct versions are provided as separate disc (.ssd) images. Both versions feature a bypass to the inbuilt keypad/keylock protection. Simply enter any code or just press Return a few times to have it accepted.
 
1. Filename "Manic Miner Invulnerability" .
 
As the name suggests this provides near immunity during play. This does not provide infinite air, merely immunity to moving and static enemies as well as long falls.
 
Notes: Although the game will not immediately end when the air supply runs out, it will soon crash thereafter if MinerWilly does not complete the cavern within a timely fashion once the air is exhausted. It is also quite possible to stand on fire cells. Some small care must be taken to not jump out of the top of the cavern which again can result in a crash.
 
Both of the above small compromises needed during gameplay are very acceptable within this scope.
 
2. Filename "Manic Miner Level Skip" .
 
Notes: This version does not offer any extra lives, air supply or immunity! It simply allows you to choose the starting level. This in itself is a great boon if you wish to practise a cavern as the BBC version does not contain the ZX equivalent of a '6031769' teleporter routine. The game itself must be reloaded from disc if it is wished to change the level as the patch is applied before the game code is executed.

Manic Miner for the BBC Micro. The conversion was written by D.J.Coathupe.

The caverns mostly mirror other versions with a few exceptions:

1. There is no 'Solar Power Generator' instead there is a 'Meteor Showers' cavern. This is just as difficult as Skylabs, if not more so.

2. The Final Barrier is also completely different in its layout too.

The download includes the disc version, a tape version and the keypad code sheet too. This is required for the tape version. The disc version also features instructions during load too, these are not present on the original tape version mainly I suspect for a reduction in loading time.

A compilation disc for the BBC Micro combining:
 
Manic Miner
Jetset Willy
Jetset Willy 2 (both the 'cut down' and the 'full disc' versions)
 
Note that none of these have any cheats applied, I've merely combined four disc images from the stardot archive, renamed a couple of files (to avoid conflicts) and created a simple selection menu to build this compilation.
 
I hope you will enjoy it. :)

A simple small file to load before the main JSW tape. It provides the following fixes to the standard game:
 
1. The second keypad code is always accepted
2. The invalid arrow in The Attic is rectified
3. The impossible Fire Cell in the Conservatory Roof is removed
4. The single Earth Cell in Banyan's Tree's trunk is replaced with an Air Cell
5. The air ink for Swimming Pool is changed to allow Willy to collect the item by himself
6. The top distance on ropes was reduced preventing Willy from accidentally jumping up where it was not intended
7. The interface1 pause lockup is fixed
8. The hidden First Landing item was moved to The Hall and given a shape borrowed from West Wing Roof
 
It should be noted this is intended for a standard game, its effects on third party variants of JSW is unpredictable.

JetSet Willy for the Amstrad CPC range of machines complete with cheat options.
 
If you are looking for original, unchanged versions please see here for JSW1 and here for JSW2
 
Two disk (.dsk) image files are provided and one tape version. One is only compatible with the 464 (it is clearly marked) and based on the original release. The other is suitable for the 464,664 and 6128 and is based on the Re-Release. Neither of these retain the keypad protection either.
 
The tape version is Speedlock protected and manually edited directly to provide infinite lives.
 
The disk versions provided offer the following cheat options during game load:
 
Infinite lives: Yes/No
Harmless enemies: Yes/No
 
It should be noted that there is no protection against high falls nor any against fire cells, however given the JSW1 for the Amstrad uses a very similar "safe start" as seen in the Spectrum (and Amstrad!) versions of JSW2, a high fall in most cases will not result in an infinite death scenario unless you are very careless.

JetSet Willy for the Amstrad CPC range of machines. It is compatible with the 464,664 and 6128.
 
This is an original disk and tape image. The tape is a .tzx file (can be renamed to .cdt if required) and is Speedlock protected.
 
The game closely follows the Spectrum version and plays just as well. The 'in game' tune is different but the game play is much the same.
 
The scrolling message reads as follows:

JSW1 for the Spectrum with a few mild patches present.
 
Care was taken to avoid over-doing any fixes with a few exceptions. The intention being to try to retain reasonable originality but taking a mild twist on the regular '4 poke' fix:
 
1. The Basic loader was slightly altered (see screenshot) , the embedded codes for the flashing and colour blocks were replaced with their instruction counterparts. Care was taken to ensure the ordering was kept the same. The 'crash' poke was left intact but the real floating point value was changed from 23613 to 16384, thus ensuring the 'crash' poke did not have any effect as it was now just setting the first byte in the screen memory to 0 harmlessly. The combi-screenshot shows both original with 'exposed' embedded values and the 'replacement' one. Viewing them in 128K Basic they look about the same, the change is only really apparent in 48K Basic mode, however they function identically with the exception of not crashing if Break is pressed.
 
2. The keypad routine was left intact however rather than change the first JPZ or the second JPZ to just a JP (to always pass the keycode) the reset the machine instruction was changed to start the game instead by just changing 00000 to 34762. This way if both key code entries fail, the code falls though to the 'reset' line but its now going to jump to the title screen instead. This also preserves both calls to the keypad code too, so that both instruction strings are seen.
 
3. As per the official bug fix, the fire cell was removed from the Conservatory Roof. Viewing this screen on both JSW2 and on JSW1 and JSW2 on several other platforms, there is a mild variation in how it is fixed on those, generally it involves removal of one more fire cell but in this case, the single cell removal (although not perfect by any means) was felt sufficient.
 
4. As per the official bug fix, the earth cell in Banyan Tree was changed to a water cell. There are other fixes to this such as modifying the tree 'trunk' and/or the lower 'roots' area however these are a bit too much for a mild bug fix, so the official fix was felt best.
 
5. The self collecting item in Swimming pool, there are various ways to fix this however a fractionally different approach was taken. The most common one is to set the ink to 5 (cyan) however in this case it was set to 4 (green) as this may be a more suitable colour given Orangery is above, aka: a 'Vines' effect and that screen is mostly green too
 
6. The invisible object in First landing, although the official 'fix' moves it, unless further action is taken it is still invisible and it is quite possible to miss it if you are jumping to avoid an arrow. Rather than give it shape/form it was easier to simply remove it from the game.
 
7. The double object on the beach, there are two ways of looking at this. Previously splitting it into two and moving one further to the left so Willy is forced to use the water 'conveyor' seemed ideal however this file is meant to be a mild fix so the best approach here was merely to set it to be just one object not two.
 
8. The pause bug caused by the presence of an Interface1, as per Skoolkids bug fix this was rectified by changing the IN A © to IN A (254) , along with a single NOP for the inactivity counter as well. This does not prevent pause it merely means the game will not auto-pause, the same as if the in-game music is playing.
 
9. The ability for Willy to leap from the top of a rope where he is not intended to such as Beach , On The Roof were rectified by changing his height comparator from 12 up to 15. This usually prevents him climbing high enough to be able to 'jump top exit' while on a rope.
 
10. Thought was given to the guardian halo effect, as well as corrupted conveyors although their fixes involve potentially putting some code into the unused areas, the same as the bug that effects Under The Roof if you happen to fall off. The latter two quirks were ignored and the former 'halo' ones were fixed by simply turning off the bright effect on the few effected sprites.
 
11. The infamous 'attic bug' was rectified using the official method of setting its co-ordinates correctly as this is the most sensible and efficient fix.
 
12. The incorrect animation counter for the Monk/Priest in Chapel as well as the saw in Cuckoo's Nest were fixed by setting them from 03 to 07 and setting their correct starting frames so they animate as intended and do not move 'backwards'
 
13. Unlucky for some ? The slightly annoying effect of the time and item count temporarily flashing back to 000 and 07:00am was rectified by changing their initial display values to be a blank space, leaving the colon intact. This means that they temporarily flick out and back in again however this seems indefinitely preferable to having them appear to have the incorrect values displayed albeit temporarily. There is a small article in our Articles system describing this in detail.
 
14. Finally, the existing bugs/quirks such as jumping from the top of Dr Jones and Watch Tower as well as Esmerelda are left in, as they were in the original file, along with the TRS-Dos code at the end of the file.
 
Enjoy!
