I'd like to know if he had to write the machine code for Manic Miner from scratch or whether he got some help in books or other sources like Miner 2049.

Thanks too. I'm still hypnotised by Matthew Smith world. I would buy a DVD with him talking on every (ingame) caves of MM/JSW.

I have just happily watched all 8 of these videos. Many thanks for uploading these. Matthew Smith is a legend and I would like to thank him for the many hours of fun I had playing his games on the Spectrum. I rushed out recently to buy a Retro magazine with Matthew talking about the screens in Manic Miner. This is worth getting for anyone interested in the game level layouts. Cheers!

the one where his mum is part of the interview? he comes across as a decent / humble bloke.. just a pity the suits profited of HIS talent. Manic Miner / Jetman were the first 2 games I ever got in 83 or 84.. and now woolies is no more.. damn I'm getting old.hehe
