London, 1974. You are a famous Scotland Yard Detective who must solve the murder of the rich aristocrat Angus McFungus, who’s body has been discovered at his home at 427 Park Lane. Arriving at the residence you soon discover that this will not be a simple ‘open and shut’ case, and will take all your finely honed detective skills to solve. Can you put your finger on the killer?

This is a remake of the 1986 C64 game for the Nintendo DS by Headkaze (Code), Lobo (Graphics), Space Fractal (Music), Flash (Support), Sashanan & sverx (Testing). The original was by Sam Manthorpe, characters by Paul Jay and the plot was cunningly devised by the Magnificent Seven.

Manic Miner in the Lost Levels Updated

October 31, 2009, 03:28:43 PM by Flash

Just to let you know, version 1.02 has been released

This has a few minor bug fixes and introduces a feature that now displays if the level selected
from the title screen contains a bonus level. This is shown using a 'seal' next to the selected level.

The downside, should you wish to upgrade to this version, is that save games will be overwritten.

(also managed to put together a rather poor video)
