Manic Miner is a platform game written for the ZX Spectrum by Matthew Smith. It was published by Bug-Byte in 1983, then later the same year by Software Projects. The first game in the Miner Willy series, the design was inspired by Miner 2049er (1982) for the Atari 8-bit family.
Manic Person started as an attempt to make a regular twenty cave Manic Miner hack with all new levels, new challenges, puzzles and atmospheres. The game eventually split into two difficulty ratings: Human (Normal) and Inhuman (Extremely Hard) versions. You can read more info and grab the download over on the Planeta Sinclair website.
