Versions and minor mods of the original Manic Miner
Manic Miner Updated
Author: Andy Ford
Year: 2015
Language: English
A "mildly updated" version of the original, based on the Software Projects edition, released in February 2015. It features a new loading screen and a "real" Speedlock loader which cuts down the loading time from approximately 3m 15s to 2m 30s. The "typewriter" cheat has been removed. There is no bonus life awarded every 10,000 points any more, but Willy starts with eight lives instead of three. The scrolling message has been slowed down a fraction so it is more readable, and altered very slightly to correct a few concerns.
The file must be loaded in 48K mode.
Number of rooms: 20
Highest documented score:
- upon reaching the swordfish sign: 36,469 points;
- upon first re-entry into the first cavern: 37,711 points.
