♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Manic Miner
is a video game originally created for ZX Spectrum which enjoyed enough popularity in the 80s. This game will put us in the role of a miner who had to go through several rooms inside a mine. It was necessary to have a series of objects before reaching the exit to allow us to move to the next room and dodge enemies and traps whose contact caused instant death, death also occurred if you fall from a high altitude. What's more, the character it has had a limited amount of oxygen was gradually depleted.
Manic Miner flaunted a colorful design levels that rose to the top in the world of video games, then gave way to a sequel to a significantly larger number of screens (60), called "Jet Set Willy".
Spectrum graphics capabilities allow automatic alternating background colors and foreground, allowing the image to form a loading animation without software intervention, alternating words "Manic" and "Miner".
It was the first game of ZX Spectrum in the development of the game was accompanied by a melody, known as In the Hall of the Mountain King, Peer Gynt Suite by Grieg. The continuous background music require constant attention of the CPU, so far had thought it was technically impossible. During the title screen, the Blue Danube Waltz by J. Strauss Jr. was heard.
The code of the backdoor for cheating in the game, was the number "6031769", the programmer Matthew Smith took his driver's license.
