This is the platform game that started the whole craze off even thouah it was not actually the first of its Kind As Miner Willy you have just discovered a forgotten mine down in Suburbia, which is full of advanced robots that have not stopped working since the civilisation that created them disappeared These robots continue to do the tedious tasks that they have been doing all their lives and if you get in the way then you will be destroyed, but the lure of the priceless treasures in the twenty caves might be Will's downfall. To progress to another cavern and greater riches you must first collect all the flashing keys before your oxygen runs out. Each cavern gets progressively harder until you reach the final barrier and the way out. Though this game is a bit old hat now it is still highly enjoyable to play and arguably THE classic platform game The graphics are smooth and move nicely. A pattern game where you have to 'learn' the correct timing and rhythm, Manic Miner should appeal to just about everyone. Overall AMTIX! rating: 71%
