Manic Miner – Classic 80’s platformer by Matthew Smith gets an unofficial remake by Langford Productions

We’ve recently been informed through our emails, that the all time classic of ‘Manic Miner’ by Matthew Smith, which was originally released way back in 1983, has been re-released as a rather impressive unofficial PC remake by none other than Langford Productions. The same creator behind other cool remakes such as PSSST, Cookie, The Hunch and our personal favourite nostalgic nod of Project ZX. In light of this news, Saberman has done a gameplay video viewable below.

Here’s the latest from the creator. “Check out my Willy! Miner Willy that is, in this expanded remake of Matthew Smith’s classic ZX  Spectrum game. Play all twenty original caverns  from the Spectrum version  or select to play the twenty brand new ones – or mix it up a bit and let the game decide what screens you’re going to play! You can even play with subdued lighting, darkening the caverns and using the light from Willy’s hard hat”.
