I'm assuming, (perhaps rightly or wrongly) this is OK from a (c) concern because anyone can watch said video and it does not take long for one to either find a downloader utility or trick the browser into downloading it anyway. jetsetdanny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted April 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Below are two other variants, second and third cavern sets. 🙂 I do hope these are OK to be here like this as they are provided mainly really for 'level design inspiration' , it may be neat to build MM using the layout of one of these perhaps and it is 100 times easier to study an offline vs online video if one requires to step back and forth with it too, and there is always the fact the video may eventually vanish online, sometimes not at the authors request either.

jetsetdanny Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Creating two new ZX Spectrum Manic Miner games by recreating the SAM Coupe's levels is a project I would definitely support and would like to get involved with/be carry to tackle 🙂 . Not right now - I have other priorities - but at some future point. I believe those levels should be "brought back" to the ZX Spectrum 😎.

Spider Posted April 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 I completely agree. They may 'fit' screensize wise and even if a few changes are needed to allow for the ZX engine 'quirks' as such, its still a good thing all in all. A couple of years back I did try to get these levels to run properly in an emulator but I needed some immunity cheats for it, simply so I had time to study and take screeenshots (as well as not being forced to play each level) but I could not find anything suitable back then, so it went onto the ever expanding "to return and look at" list. The video's should be enough with screen captures too, to study both the guardian paths etc and the layouts. jetsetdanny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
