jetsetdanny Posted December 22, 2025 Report Share Posted December 22, 2025 Manic Miner - 2000 is a MM remake that was originally posted on the alt.binaries.comp.sinclair newsgroup. Stuart Brady announced its existence on the MM & JSW Yahoo! Group in January 2000. For many years, nothing was known about the identity of the game's author. The creator’s name was generally spelled "FELL" (all in capitals), likely because it was unclear whether this was a surname or some kind of abbreviation. Fortunately, earlier this month, I was contacted by Mr Tony Fell, who explained that the author of the game was Scottish, born in Wick, Caithness, that his full name was Aaron Fell, and that he worked for CCP Games in Reykjavík, Iceland, on the online game EVE. I have updated the information about "Manic Miner - 2000" on JSW Central accordingly. 🙂 Spider, Jet Set Willie and UncleWan 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
