Their is a flash remake of manic miner on http://www.darnkitty.com/manic

I can't beat the first level. I always die tring to get the third key. The graphics are worse than the spectruns and their no souds and you don't see the keys move on the keyboard like on the spectrum version and it does not have the flashing colour and it does not have the music but it is still a great remake.

This is a video of the spectrum version. The only thing better on the flash version is their is no stupidly long load times.

It is very pathetic that i could never get past the third key. I like how the flash remake has the same levels. It got very annoying when a game took lonng to load. It was a problem with the spectrum.

The playability is horrible.
