Miner Dick - Helpful tips

Having Fun With Miner Dick

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 Miner Dick. This article was originally

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

Where to begin

Miner Dick 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 Miner Dick disk and from DOS type;

LOAD MINEDICK.COM and press ENTER ;note the number of Blocks which

will be used for saving the program

MOS and press ENTER

M 0362 and press ENTER

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

HEX - i.e. for screen 2 enter 02 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 MINED1.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.
