The easiest and most efficient solution is to take the most central item first, and then proceed to traverse the screen anticlockwise.

Congratulations to cro-tica for taking the Manic Miner Gold Medal with 50717, and becoming one of apparently only six players ever to reach Cavern 28 (all-time No.5 azzubayr reached C.27 with 50947).

Hi thunder, if you've tried enabling Java like Andew's said, you might not have Java installed. Click the FAQ link at the top for more steps you can try.

Have you enabled Java in your browser, and either allowed all sites to use Java, or trusted both www.darnkitty.com and darnkitty.g2-tech.co.uk to do so?

For me, the magic of Manic Miner is in the exquisite game-mechanics, and I'm so familiar with the game that my brain fills in the missing sound anyway.

What I miss more than the sound is the pixel-perfect guardian collision-detection of the original Spectrum-version. The version of Jet Set Willy on this site is closer to the mark in terms of being faithful to the original MM/JSW game-mechanics.


I can appreciate your feelings towards the silence. Its was only a few months ago I was introduced to the game. And the sound seemed to fit very naturally, so I would have never figured that the original had no sound. Actually, I thought the game was made by one of the people that created the site I first played the game on. I never heard of it before.

So, since it first had sound for me, I want sound nag-nab-it!! Sersiouly though, I will play the game on this site cause I like that the site keeps high scores plus since you informed me that the game originally had no sound, then I will take back anything I said badly against darnkitty.

See...another situation where I opened my mouth too soon, w/out knowing all the facts.

The sound in Manic Miner on the spectrum used to drive me crazy, and I don't miss it. But that's not the reason for not including sound in this version - my reason was simply laziness. Ideally I'd like to have had the sound in, with an option to turn it off. But what can you do? :-)

great game and nice site.

a little observation, in level 4 when willy jumps into the flashing box, i remember his legs staying flat on the ground rather than off the ground! i used to play this on Spectrum+ 48k.
