Glad you're enjoying the game!

I have every confidence that you'll beat it in the end! Glad you're enjoying the game.

I'm still laughing at "Oh my balls - I died" 😂... Good to see this game getting another airing as it's one of the first I made.  If you have any suggestions about any other Spectrum games you'd like to see remade please let me know (I tend to go more for the jollier types of game rather than things like fighting games or such)

Hi - I agree, it was a strange choice of graphic style and I dont really know what I was thinking! It was the first game I wrote for PC and was a while ago now - if I were remaking it now I would definitely go down a different graphical path.

I must admit... I keep forgetting to change the version number 😂

All my games are written from scratch in GML

Thank you.  

Thank you! Very much appreciated.

The cheat from the original Manic Miner game has been put into this version. If you can't find what it is   online,  open the manual which is in the zip file and go to the last page. There is some invisible text on there, so highlight from the visible text right to the bottom of the page, copy it and paste it into Notepad.

Thanks for the kind comments - and anyone with a Charlie Brown icon is one of life's good'uns in my book!

I thought you did an amazing job on the 48K sound, but the AY sound lifts it even further! Do you have enough memory to put in the little background "tune" ? I think it's only made up of 5 notes.
Whatever, it's the best arcade-Spectrum conversion I've played. Fab job!

Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi. Every enemy you shoot pulls the tug of war to DM's side - every enemy that gets past you pulls to the Baron's side. To move on DM needs to win the tug of war. If you get the crash again would you be able to send a screenshot so I can see what's happening?

Thanks for playing Dion, and thanks so much for the donation. Glad you enjoyed the game and hope you liked the ending! I think you may be the first to finish it.

Cheers again Dion - both of these are now fixed!

Hi Dion. Thanks for playing the game pointing these bugs out - they have now been fixed and a new version of the game uploaded.

"Project ZX 1.5" is coming along nicely now. I've put a page up on this site for the game now and will be adding a few updates as the game progresses.  I would say it's about 60-70% finished now.

Hi. Yes - this game was written in an old version of GameMaker and also a fairly long time ago now. I have since upgraded GameMaker and learned a few new tricks and am currently starting out on a new version, built from the ground up. It's only at the very beginning stage but hopefully I will see it through to completion and a much speedier, smoother game will result!

A bug that affected the bat's movements when played on a monitor with a resolution other than 1920 x 1080 has now been fixed

cheers mate... glad you enjoy the games. Project ZX and Project ZX II are also original games, just using graphics from old games 

Press the down arrow until the little egg is next to "Set Controls" and then press CTRL. Enjoy!
