16. JSW64: Flash Manic Miner

Language: English

Flash Manic Miner, by Matthew Gordon, was a highly addictive online version of MM, featuring a high-score table and new caverns beyond the original 20.

JSW64: Flash Manic Miner is Andrew Broad's conversion of the extra caverns from the Flash version to the ZX Spectrum: Caverns 21 to 43 of Flash Manic Miner map to Rooms 0 to 22 of the JSW64 conversion, with Room 22's portal looping back to Room 3 (because for n >= 44, Cavern n is identical to Cavern n-20).

The game was gamma-released in December 2008.

The game uses Variant Z, Hacklevel 12 of the JSW64 game engine.
