Spider Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 The C16 (tape) version. It takes about seven minutes to load. The following things were immediately noted: 1. There is no loading screen, just a screen showing you the keys, then the game loads. I guess this is the loading screen. 2. There is very little sound, a tiny noise when collecting an object or upon loss of life. 3. The colours are not too distant to the C64 version (although there are less of them) 4. There is no 'boot' game over message, upon loss of the last life the game just instantly restarts in the Central Cavern. On with a few pictures :) although I only managed a few screens unfortunately: Loading Screen In Game Screens: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazyminer Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Few more pics, I could do with a cheat really I think. Will have to research that: Hi Spider! I did not notice this thread earlier. I have completed C16 Manic Miner in the spring of 2010, I think I did it six times in a row, one single game, no cheats, no emulation, it was on a real C16 hardware. I wrote a small article documenting some of the differences between C16 and C64 versions in 2010: https://kolttonen.fi/computers_and_logic/retrocomputing/manic_miner/manic_miner_c16_and_c64.html You can find one C16 cheat there, it enables free transport to any room. If you have a different, perhaps trained or cracked C16 release, then my hack might not work. In that case, you can leech the C16 from that same page, I think it should work. I practiced beforehand using that version on a VICE emulator! :D Edited December 2, 2018 by krazyminer Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
