Manic Miner On Your Nintendo 3DS With The R4 3DS

By Brian Jefferson


Manic Miner is perhaps THE game that started the platform game revolution. It was one of the very first games for classic computers that had more than one "level" so to speak. And not only did it have more than just one level - between the different versions of the game, there were hundreds of levels available for you to play and enjoy. Sitting here writing this, I have to say that I am very impressed that it was now remade for the Nintendo 3DS console. The game is free. All you need to be able to play it, and many other free 3ds home brew games is the R4 3DS Card.

In Manic Miner you become the main character, called Miner Willy, and you must help him get through some very bizarre journeys and difficult levels in this great platform game. Levels filled with killer penguins and snapping toilets that are out to get you, and will, unless the mutant telephones reach you first. You must go through each level, timing your skilled jumps to avoid the bad guys and collect various keys that open up the next levels in the game.

As you make your way to the more advanced levels and stages of the game, it will become increasing difficult and getting past the bad guys, as bizarre as they may be, will become a lot more difficult than you would think. For a 3ds home brew game, Manic Miner is right up there with some of the best commercial games that have been released for the Nintendo DS and 3DS. While the original Manic Miner, not the sequel, had only about 20 levels, this cool R4 3DS card remake has over 150 different levels to play. It will keep you entertained for a long, long time.

A lot of work was put into the sound effects and the music, which is a remake of the original in game music from the ZX Spectrum version. Graphically, there are two different modes. The original classic look and feel of the game, which I love to play, even if for nostalgia's sake - and the updated levels and graphics show off the abilities of the designers themselves.

If you have an R4 3DS Card, then make sure you do not miss this free 3ds home brew game, it's a must have game that should be in any collection - even if it weren't free. Don't have an R4 3DS Card? Then make sure you get one. This game is just one example of amazing 3ds home brew gaming, taking to the professional level. And to think they are giving this game away for free. There are many other really amazing home brew games for the DS and 3DS, and you can get them all free on your have you card.
