  • That's a painful piece of loading music. This is definitely a classic but I agree that Jet Set Willy is far superior. I'd love to see updated versions of these games with much more detailed graphics but with the gameplay entirely unchanged. I doubt we'll see that as most publishers would be too tempted to tweak the format to add perceived value for money.

  • @gamerslivingroom Yeah that would be cool.... I know there are remakes on the internet, might take a look to see what they are like one day. Or I could try remaking it myself, now theres a challenge ;o)

  • nice music at the start

  • @realgroovy24 ha ha cheers mate, thanks for watching ;o)

  • that emulator is very fast in comparison to the original

  • @ComradeZX Yeah but its the easiest way to record the game for youtube. Still looks great ;o)

  • MANIC MINER is without doubt a Speccy classic! :)

    Excellent game and excellent review - enjoyed the extra info you gave about the trilogy and posters, cheats, alternate versions etc

    Look forward to checking out more of your reviews later.

  • @interghost If you've got the skills then it might be worth a try but if you are going to invest all that time an effort in it I think Jet Set Willy would be a much worthier endeavour. I just think the concept of wandering the mansion to clear up after a monster party is so much cooler than just escaping from a mine.

  • @interghost the Easy cap thing is good too.

  • yes its worth a look at mate, i used to love it

  • i wasnt a popular game but i liked it, its worth a look at mate.
