Just wanting to say thank you again for this brilliant rewrite. It

Welcome David. :)

 

IRF is quite correct there is no 'item collect' sound on MM, there is on JSW, both on the Spectrum platform.

 

On other platforms, there is a noise on the BBC, C64 and Amstrad versions I had to hand to verify. I could not get the Dragon one to load (currently) to check that.

Are you sure you aren't thinking of Jet Set Willy, David? The original Manic Miner code doesn't contain an item-collection noise.

Thank you so much for these replies. Well, that explains everything, I wonder what other solid childhood memories I have that are slightly, but significantly wrong. I do have a mint speccy 48k issue heading my way from ebay and my original MM casette tape waiting to test just to make sure;) I'm so sure it that darn sound was there! Off for a bit of Pacmanicminerman in the meantime.

Fantastic work. May I ask a quick question? I remember there being an object collection noise when I used to play this on my real spectrum back in the 80s, but I've never heard it on any emulator. I assumed this was some subtle hardware feature that was not emulated properly, but here you seem to have restored it. Was I right in thinking this noise was not emulated properly or did I have a different version of manic miner back then. Thank you!
