Spider Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 A relatively unknown (and unofficial?) version for the Primo computer. Its is a Z80 based machine from Hungary and some information can be found here , nb: A link on the far left will switch the text from Hungarian to English language. Although several different versions exist with differing hardware, they all have the Z80 and 16/32 or 48KB of ram along with a 16K ROM containing (as you'd expect) the Operating System itself. The display is monochrome only and the resolution matches the Spectrum in that it is 256x192 pixels. Further details can be found in link above. A version of Manic Miner is available for this machine! Although at the time of writing I have -not- used an emulator to try it out, it seems from a cursory inspection of the image file it is based on the BB version, as I can clearly see the source code remains within as well as the BB 'scrolly message intact' too: "MANIC MINER . . . BUG-BYTE ltd. 1983 . . By Matthew Smith . . . Q to P = Left & Right . . Bottom row = Jump . . A to G = Pause . . H to L = Tune On/Off . . . Guide Miner Willy through 20 lethal caverns" It is pleasing to see that because it means the conversion authors have not taken the original attribution away. 🙂 Attached are two screenshots from the site in question: Thanks to @Pgyuri for the information on this (previously unknown to me!) version 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted July 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 As I have since been able to source and submit this properly sooner than I had anticipated, I'll close this temporary topic. The download can be found here and its associated discussion topic here 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
