Manic Miner, the influential 1983 platformer from Matthew Smith, is making a comeback through BBG Entertainment with an authorized recreation. The revived version aims for a faithful, pixel-perfect reproduction of the original and is slated to arrive on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch this fall.
The announcement has drawn some scrutiny over the promotional trailer, which has sparked discussion about potential generative AI involvement in its creation. Despite this controversy around the marketing materials, the project itself carries Smith's approval and promises to preserve the twenty levels that defined the classic platformer.
