It is nice to see Flash Manic Miner for the Spectrum :-) . The feel
of the game is different from the original. It feels slower, you can
do some things in the sense of your timing against the guardians,
etc., which you cannot do (or I wouldn't dare do) in the online
version, and the pixel-based collision detection actually gives the
player more confidence (IMO). You get extra lives and the possibility
to reload snapshots makes the whole playing experience incomparably
more relaxing, of course :-) .

JSW64: Flash Manic Miner comes with a bonus-game: _Manic Miner:
Matthew Smith 2008 Remix_. This is a minor variant of Manic Miner
inspired by the interview with Matthew Smith in Retro Gamer
magazine (Load 48, February 2008).

It was a nice experience to play this bonus game - something very
similar to the original, and yet different and, at times, forcing the
player to retrack his steps if he just follows the well-known route
automatically.

My RZX walkthroughs of both games can now be downloaded from The RZX
Archive ( http://www.rzxarchive.co.uk/j.php#jsw64flashmanicminer and
http://www.rzxarchive.co.uk/m.php#mmms2008remix ).
