Manic Miner Electron 2021
By Spider in Manic Miner [Remakes]
This is the Acorn Electron version of Manic Miner, written by "0xC0DE" and built from Toby Lobster's greatly updated Manic Miner for the BBC Micro ( you can find that here )
To quote the coder of this version, " 0xC0DE "
The files attached here are two .zips:
One containing four game files and two readme files, the original GitHub readme.md and a shortened plain text .txt of the same. Inside this zip are also the game files themselves, consisting of two tape .uef and two disc .ssd images, one for emulators and one for real machines.
The other .zip file contains the screenshots used here, for convenience.
The game controls are:
Z = Left
X = Right
RETURN = Jump
DELETE/COPY = Pause / Un-pause
Q/S = Music off / Music on
ESCAPE = End game
Attributions:
Original (ZX) game by Matthew Smith
Initial BBC Micro release by D.J.Coathupe

Characters
By Spider in Graphics, styling and enhancements
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! 🙂

Thoroughly Modern Willy
By Spider in Manic Miner [Remakes]
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.

JSW KCE (Key Code Edition)
By Spider in Mini Games
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.
