A greatly updated and enhanced version of the original BBC Micro Manic Miner.

Changes and improvements include:

Flicker free player movement

Fixes to cavern layouts, graphics, and colours

Better air bar and colours

Fixed the shape of the jump to match the Spectrum

Better collision detection

Better music

The .zip in the download contains the ssd (single sided disc image) of the game and two text files:

> A simple 'read_me" explaining a little bit more about the game

> A 'tech_notes' file covering the updates in more detail.

 

Control Keys:

Z = LEFT
X = RIGHT
RETURN = JUMP

Q = MUSIC OFF
S = MUSIC ON

PAUSE = DELETE
RESUME = COPY

I wanted to show the differences of this vs the original with one combi pic of the first cavern. I do realise more is present however it does visually demonstrate some of the excellent work that went into this:

 

Left : Original 1984 Release

Right : Updated 2021 Release

Immediate visual changes:

Air bar hoziontal to match most other variants.

Sane start frame for M.W

Sane start position for horizontal guardian

Status bar in a suitable colour

Playing area expanded horizontally and moved down a little bit the screen to match (afaik) most other variants.

Colours changed to match as close as reasonably possible the ZX variant. This is quite interesting as you've managed to use a few more colours than normally possible ie status bar is white.
