Manic Miner Fun

Having Fun With Manic Miner

Introduction

This article like many others I will be doing, is a recreation, tidy up, etc of articles originally

published in old User Group Magazines. As the quality of these old magazines is quite

poor, I decided to take it upon myself to recreate those articles and present them in an

improved format, with pictorial enhancements and where possible improved content.

This time I thought I would have some fun with the excellent Manic Miner This article was

originally Published in Einstein Monthly News as part of their Harry the Hacker series of

articles.

Where to begin

Manic Miner comes on an auto-boot disk so the first thing we need to do is put in an

Einstein Boot Disk and boot to the normal prompt.

Now swap the boot disk with your Manic Miner disk and from DOS type;

LOAD MANIC.COM and press ENTER ;note the number of Blocks which will be

used for saving the program

MOS and press ENTER

M 1526 and press ENTER

nn. and press ENTER ;Where nn is the required start screen number

minus one in hex - i.e. for screen 2 enter 01 and

for screen 20 enter 13

Next insert a blank disc, on which you want to save the modified MANIC MINER to and

press CTRL/BREAK, this will return you to DOS. Then type:

SAVE nn MANIC1.COM and press ENTER ;note nn should be the number of

Blocks noted for saving earlier

You should now have your modified copy of MANIC MINER on disc. Load and enjoy.

Happy gaming.
