***Manic Miner*** is a platform game originally written for the
ZX Spectrum by Matthew Smith and released by Bug-Byte in 1983
(later re-released by Software Projects). It is the first game in the
Miner Willy series and among the early titles in the platform game
genre. The game itself was inspired by the Atari 800 game Miner 2049er.
It has since been ported to numerous home computers and video game
consoles.
The Amstrad version was effectively the same as the Spectrum version by
Software Projects, except that Eugene's Lair was renamed
"Eugene Was Here," and the layout of The Final Barrier was again
completely different (but is more similar to the Spectrum version
than the BBC version).
