Manic Miner - Two Chance Challenge

Author: Andy Ford

Year: 2021

Language: English

 

"A small variation on the original" with two lives provided per cavern. The game features custom title and loading screens. It also has a simple "anti tamper" check present, but rather than punish the player, it will simply remove the detected cheat.

While a small piece of patch code in the loader tries to ensure the main loader works in later Spectrum models, it may be best to load the game in 48K mode on these machines.

The game was released in October 2021.

 

Number of rooms: 20

Highest documented score: n/a
