The tale of Miner Willy and his incredible adventures in the mines, and then the mansions, of Surbiton is legend. But like all legends, it doesn't tell the whole story.
Most people know Willy simply as a potholer who got lucky and lived happily ever after in decadent luxury. Far fewer know the secret - suppressed for quarter of a century by the government - of how he also saved Planet Earth from alien invasion.
It wasn't until an eccentric but dedicated historian writing a paper for a renowned academic journal (Retro Gamer issue 63) pieced together the complete saga of Willy's heroic exploits from fragments of scattered evidence - in the form of obscure retellings of the 'Manic Miner' folk fable in ancient languages readable only via long-obsolete machines - that the whole truth was finally revealed.
Features
- 50 levels, arranged in three sections
THE LOST LEVELS WILLYWOOD BONUS STAGES
Installation
- Copy the .NDS file to the root of your memory card. It's recommended to launch the game directly from the card's normal menu, rather than through secondary interfaces like Moonshell.
- The game will run on most cards, but if there are problems, always try the card's latest firmware prior to posting a problem on the forum. For example, with the DSTT you'll need at least firmware 1.17a07.
The latest DS card firmwares can be found here
Gameplay
Collect all the flashing objects to open the door and escape each stage. Beware enemies, conveyor belts, sharp objects, crumbling floors and long falls. Flip switches to alter various aspects of the stage.
The save system works by saving game data either when a new level is found or when a level is unlocked, and also on the game returning to the title screen, so do not turn your DS off during these times.
