Versions and minor mods of the original Manic Miner
Manic Miner Turbo
Author: Paradigm Shifter
Year: 2010
Language: English
Manic Miner with a rewritten game engine and faster action. It was created by Paradigm Shifter and posted to World of Spectrum in February 2010. An RZX recording of the game, submitted by Mark Woodmass (Woody), was published on RZX Archive in March that year.
Judging by the info in the thread on WoS, Paradigm Shifter did not even consider the file he posted a beta version yet; he believed he needed to add "boot, title screen/scrolly message, scoring and demo" and he was planning to add "at least 20 more screens" afterwards. Sadly, there has been no publicly announced development of the game since March 2010.
Number of rooms: 20
Highest documented score: N/A
(There is no scoring in the game.)

There is no 'Game Over' screen, since the player has infinite lives in this version.
