As the name suggests, this game for the Amstrad CPC range is a version of the now classic arcade game Manic Miner. The object of the game is straightforward. The miner's task is to collect gold coins found scattered round each cavern. All of the coins are necessary to gain access to the next level, so each must be collected if the game is to continue. While that sounds very easy, matters are complicated by the presence of 'X-Itrons'which, if touched by the miner, cause instant death. An added feature to complicate the miner's task is a time limit set at the start of each level. If it expires the game ends and you return to the title screen. Your Computer |
