Pacrox reacted to selfdelmer in Manic Miner w/ Best Score per Cavern
Wow, impressive. Nice work. For me, Manic Miner is just the epitome of that time, it's great to see it so well remembered and regarded still.

Pacrox got a reaction from selfdelmer in Manic Miner w/ Best Score per Cavern
Hello,
after more than 40 years, I haven't stopped playing with the Zx Spectrum and spreading the enthusiam for it.
I've recently bought 'The Spectrum' from RetroGaming and I have to say that it delivers an experience very similar to the orginal Speccy.
It is so close to the 'original' that it doesn't have a "modern" way to enter pokes.
Thus, to play and practice Manic Miner I had two possible choice:
- breaking to basic and poking the old fashion way... quite nostalgic, but very boring and unpractical;
- hack Manic Miner to add a "cheat menu".
I choosed the latter.
It took a while for the memories of Z80 assembly to arise, but little by little I remembered enough to hack into MM code.
Thanks to the complete disassembly by Richard Dymond I had a solid base to work on.
The project, as well as the assembled TAP files, can be found in the GitHub repo:
