Congratulations to flakothedog for improving the JSW world all-time high to *104* 22m23s, but it would take an unbelievable performance to do the same for MM, beating the superman that is jetsetdanny!

I'm over halfway there, jetsetdanny. Just a matter of time...

The Gold Medal will have to wait a little longer, as I'll have to play my best-ever game, and pass Cavern 43 for my first time ever in competition, if I am to beat flakothedog's 88897.

I have taken the Manic Miner Silver Medal with 49475, after losing my lives in Caverns 18 (the usual reason), 24 (stupid lapse of concentration) and 27 (a slow start spoiled my timing).

A bit more effort required tonight, but I have regained the Bronze Medals for both modes of JSW. I was actually playing for Normal Mode completion, but my form was really poor.

great...thanks Andrew!

You can, but you don't even have to. In a nutshell, the solution is to go up the middle, then right, then down, then up the trellis.

Can anyone help out with Manic Miner...I am currently stuck on cavern 15 (The Bank). Can you jump over the envelope? Thanks, Oscar

I've also grabbed an easy Bronze Medal in Jet Set Willy (Normal Mode), whilst already holding Bronze in Manic Miner, but the other games will have to wait for my assault on the podia...

Cheese, Louise: after hardly playing at all for weeks, I have just registered a score of 5185 - my second-highest of all time - to regain the Gold Medal.

I should have kept JSW64: Flash Manic Miner to myself, but when jetsetdanny came up with the idea independently, I had to reveal that I was already working on it.

Thank you. I would like to dedicate my achievement to EmuZWin2.7 spectrum emulator, to my wife for her support, and to Andrew Broad for his speccy conversion of JSW64: Flash Manic Miner!

I had feared for the last few months that this day was imminent. Congratulations to flakothedog for overtaking my Manic Miner all-time personal high of 83092 with 88897.

Yes, I read the posts in the MM forum. Brings a nice new slant to the games.

In this version of Manic Miner, collision-detection for guardians is not what what it might be.

I think the vertical guardians in The Warehouse are supposed to be threshers. In the Software Projects edition, they are impossible triangles. I'm not sure what name to give the horizontal guardians...

This is my first post, as I've just found this site, and am already addicted to Manic Miner (the wife is not happy). This was the first game I ever owned on my ZX Spectrum, and it brings back fond memories, especially the fax noise it used to make on loading. I'm onto level 11 and am beginning to remember how frustrating it can be. I've no idea about any hidden items, or any way to get extra lives, so a bit of help would be appreciated.

Pretty certain there aren't any, to be honest. Keep going though - it gets easier. I'd say the first real tough level is Skylab (14?) although i do still lose lives far too often right at the end of the Vat. Damn yellow kangaroo!

Jongtfc. You are right about that kangaroo! I also lose silly lives by trying to complete the earlier caverns too quickly.....must learn to take my time and save lives for the later stages.

There are no hidden items, and - unlike the Spectrum original - no extra lives.

The last time I played, my browser was jerky, causing me to lose a life by jumping too early in Cavern 10 (The Endorian Forest); I reacted by losing my second life in that cavern with careless timing.

I then staggered all the way to Cavern 24 (Decaying Uranium Workings) on my last life before walking too close behind the green sealion, misjudging its right boundary and jumping too early.

I'll have to remember to close all other tabs in my browser if I'm going to try to regain the Gold Medal before March!
