Manic Miner 2020 Special Edition

Author: Andy Ford

Year: 2020

Language: English

 

Manic Miner 2020 Special Edition is a cut-down version of the original game "dedicated to all key workers helping to keep our world running during the global 2020 lockdown".

The 8 caverns that comprise the game are laterally inverted in relation to the original. There is approximately a 30 seconds' air grace period upon entering each cavern. If the air supply runs out during play, the game will continue without loss of a life. The bonus for making Kong fall into the portal is increased. The game also features modified font, copied from Jet Set Willy 128k.

Manic Miner 2020 Special Edition is based on the Software Projects version of MM.

 

Number of rooms: 8

Highest documented score:

- upon reaching the swordfish sign: 40,593 points;

- upon first re-entry into the first cavern: 41,842 points.
