Ok, thanx for the Manic Miner experience of the century. If I still
had the Manic Miner Technologies-site up and running I'd give it 10
out of 10 and standing ovations! I still haven't figured out room 2
(Majolica), and I'm not shure I ever will, but one can always cheat.
It must be the hardest video game (I like the word ' video game'
[sounds kinda Atari XEL900 Turbo]) ever to hit the Spectrum. Seems
like nothing's been done by coincidence. It must have taken quite a
few hours completing each screen. It really shows off the authors
incredible knowledge of the Manic Miner game engine.

Right, here's my ratings:
Gameplay: 10/10
Graphics: 8/10
Sound: 0/10 (As a rule of thumb I play all 48K MM/JSW games mute) Lastability: 10/10
Level of difficulty: 10/10
Overall: 20/10 (If possible ...)

Your generous review pleases Andrew very, although I not know how you
can give 0/10 to David Bowie's "Slip Away"! Perhaps one day we hear
another tune...

Fore reasons unknown I wrote:

Uh... Will we ever see a tap.-version of the game? Maybe with a
little loading screen?... or text?... Or one of those Andrew-tunes?

... when the game obviously is a tap, equiped with a sexual content
airbrush-function and all.

Andrew made TAP file (with SCREEN$) in January. Airbrush is my own
little addition!

Anyway, here is solution to "Majolica":
1. Jump onto bottom-right pot from as far right as possible.
2. Immediately jump onto middle-right pot.
3. Immediately jump onto top pot.
4. Jump onto middle-left pot from as far right as possible, just as
top pot crumbles away (stand on top pot for seven of time-frames).
5. Immediately walk right on middle-left pot, and from far right
edge, jump back onto middle-right pot.
6. Stand still on middle-right pot for seven of time-frames, then
jump onto bottom-right pot.
7. Go to main platform and jump up for middle-left pot and middle-
right pot. You will see them one more time if you do good. You will
see them two more times if you do bad.
