: There is a four-page article by Stuart
: Campbell in Issue 63 of Retro Gamer
: magazine about a compilation of 20 caverns
: called Manic Miner: The Lost Levels .
:
: The caverns are ones that were introduced
: (or modified) by non-Spectrum versions of
: Manic Miner :
:
: 1. "HOME AT LAST?" (Oric)
: 2. "THE AIRLOCK" (Oric)
: 3. "MUMMY DADDY" (GBA)
: 4. "THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KONG"
: (Oric)
: 5. "BACK TO WORK" (Oric)
: 6. "THE DRAGON USERS BONUS"
: (Dragon 32)
: 7. "NOT CENTRAL CAVERN" (Oric)
: 8. "DOWN THE PIT" (Oric)
: 9. "METROPOLIS BINGO" (GBA)
: 10. "AT THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH"
: (Oric)
: 11. "Eddie's Forest" (Archimedes)
: 12. "IN A DEEP DARK HOLE" (Oric)
: 13. "THE CHANNEL TUNNEL" (Oric)
: 14. "TOKYO UH OH" (GBA)
: 15. "THE SPACE SHUTTLE" (Oric)
: 16. "WHERE'S THE HYPERSPACE
: BUTTON?" (Oric)
: 17. "The Meteor Storm" (BBC Micro)
: 18. "THE END" (Dragon 32)
: 19. "The Final Barrier" (BBC
: Micro)
: 20. "This, folks, is the Last
: Cavern!" (Amstrad CPC)
:
: The article gives a screenshot of each
: cavern, and describes them in terms of a
: story.
:
: The compilation doesn't actually exist as a
: playable game. Nigel Fishwick (author of
: Manic Miner: comp.sys.sinclair ) started
: implementing the caverns by editing the
: original Spectrum-version of Manic Miner ,
: but sadly this effort was abandoned after
: two caverns.
:
: So Stuart Campbell merely suggests playing
: the caverns in a series of emulators:
: * Oric: DSOric or MESS
: * GBA: Visual Boy Advance
: * Dragon 32: Xroar or MESS
: * Archimedes: Virtual A5000
: * BBC Micro: BeebEm
: * Amstrad CPC: WinAPE
:
: The article also mentions "the superb
: SAM Coupé version, which effectively
: featured two entire separate sequels
: alongside the original 20 levels."
