Miner Willy, while prospecting down Surbiton way, stumbles upon an ancient, long forgotten mine-shaft. On further exploration, he finds
evidence of a lost civilisation far superior to our own, which used automatons to dig deep into the Earth's core to supply the essential raw
materials for their advanced industry. After centuries of peace and prosperity, the civilisation was torn apart by war, and lapsed into a long
dark age, abandoning their industry and machines. Nobody, however, thought to tell the mine robots to stop working, and through countless
aeons they had steadly accumulated a hugh stockpile of valuable metals and minerals, and Miner Willy realises that he now has the opportunity to make his fortune by finding the underground store. Can YOU take the challange and guide Willy through the underground caverns to the 
surface and riches. In order to move to the next chamber, you must collect all the flashing keys in the room while avoiding nasties like POISONUS PANSIES and SPIDERS and SLIME and worst of all, MANIC MINING ROBOTS. When you have all the keys, you can enter the portal which will now be flashing. The game ends when you have been "got" or fallen heavily three times.

NOTE: This was taken from the original BUG-BYTE inlay. I have never seen any POISONUS PANSIES, SPIDERS or SLIME anywhere in the game.

For those of you who have never played Manic Miner before, all you have to do is collect X number of objects from each screen to open the exit before your air runs out. Sounds easy ? Just give it a try.

I hope you enjoy the game and I hope it brings back some happy and frustrating memories. If it is popular, even if it's not, I am planning on 
doing Jet Set Willy. Well, you can't have one without the other I say.
