Willy's Miner Nightmare II

Willy's Miner Nightmare II is a PC platform game for Windows inspired directly by the 1983 classic Manic Miner by Matthew Smith. Staying true to the single screen precision platforming style that defined the 8 bit era, this version delivers tightly designed rooms, exact jump timing, hazard heavy layouts, and that unmistakable arcade tension fans of the original formula will instantly recognize.

This video features full gameplay with live commentary on Windows PC. If you enjoy authentic retro platform mechanics, unforgiving level design, and skill based progression, this is one you need to see.

Manic Miner first appeared on the Manic Miner for the ZX Spectrum and became one of the defining titles of early British home computing. Willy's Miner Nightmare II continues that tradition on modern hardware while preserving the spirit of classic single screen challenge driven design.
