Title: Manic Miner Misery!
Post by: Satanist on 21 January, 2005, 05:58:37 PM
Hi All,
Me and the mates like nothing better than beating and humiliating each other at computer games. Usually with who finishes a game first or who can get the hi-score etc.

Anyway at the moment the challenge is hi-score on Manic Miner but we're all stuck on level 12 (bar one guy who refuses to let the others know how its done).

Anyone know of any sites that do guides for old games? I've had a search but to no avail.

Cheers,


Marc

There's links to archives of Spectrum magazine scans here - maybe some of them will have the hint you need

Wait until you get to the really difficult levels (if you have the patience...)

I never got past 12 without cheating (IIRC - was this the one where the room was split in two with a couple of switches and bananas to collect?).

Last time I played this was on my old PSION series 5 when I was supposed to be concentrating in meetings...good times.

I prefer being told to:

Crash your anemones, see them driven by four ewes, and hear the lamination of the wimp, mmmm

I could never get past the Skylab Landing Bay. What was that? Level 17 or something?
