The-Red-Bayron Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 View File Manic Miner: Deeper and Down He's Back... In an all new old adventure! This follows on from the Lost Levels and Lost Levels DS in that it is a conversion from another system in this case it is the Sam Coupé version. After the first 20 levels that follow the original Manic Miner, there were another 20 called The Deeper Caverns then another 20 called Down, Down, Deeper and Down. This gives the game its title Manic Miner: Deeper and Down as Manic Miner: The Deeper Caverns and Down, Down, Deeper and Down was a bit of a mouthful. As before it tries to do this as close as the original game mechanic allows but this time using the JSW64 128K game engine as some features like trampolines and switches were impossible to replicate in the original game engine. There is a demo version of The Deeper Caverns for the 48K which is included in the .zip file as initially it started here. The gameplay order, screens and sprites are slightly different but all levels are playable. The Deeper Caverns The Gameplay follows the order of these next 20 levels, level 20 The Final Frontier is used as a link into Down, Down, Deeper and Down so the top of this screen is slightly different to the original Sam Coupé version. Here are the level screens in gameplay order. 01 The Hollow Chamber 02 The Office 03 Cheese-Plant 04 The Dodgy Mine Shaft 05 The Big Drop 06 Order Processing Department 07 The Rocky Outcrop 08 The Twilight Zone, Part I 09 Son of Kong Beast 10 Trainspotters' Paradise 11 Battle of the Bits 12 A Night on the Tiles 13 The Twilight Zone II 14 Dante's Inferno 15 The Freezer 16 Blue Stick-Waggling Bananas 17 Round The Bend 18 Teddy Bears' Picnic 19 The Clock Tower 20 The Final Frontier Notes: Some of the levels with Trampolines have been modified to prevent falling too far. Kong falling from the platform has been changed for something else. Pull the switch and find out. Levels with a lot of sprites, switches or items will be slower. Down, Down, Deeper and Down This follows on directly from The Deeper Caverns with an additional 20 levels. There is an ending level (Up Up and Away) but it is not playable, like JSW the game just stops here (until the air runs out and then it loops). Here are the level screens in gameplay order. 01 In Xanadu, did Kubla Khan ? 02 Bleugh 03 Wibble Flowerpot 04 Wibbly Wobbly 05 Caveman Willy 06 No Way Back ? 07 Bouncy-Bouncy 08 Son of Bride of Kong’s Revenge 2 09 The Haunted House 10 The Mouse Trap 11 The Bonus Round 12 Still No Way Back ? 13 The Pink People Eaters 14 April Showers 15 Bottom of the mine shaft 16 The Building Society 17 The Control Room 18 The Assembly Plant 19 The Computer Room 20 The end of Willy as we know it ? 21 Up Up and Away ! Notes: The items in the The Bonus Round had to be reduced as it exceeded the limit for the overall game. Because of this additional items have been added to other levels. The Pokes for Infinite Lives, WRITETYPER and finishing the game without collecting all the items will work.
