''Manic Miner'' is a classic platform arcade game from the ZX Spectrum that was converted to the Dragon. The gameplay is very similar to the Spectrum version. The goal is to guide miner Willy through a series of caves in his quest for fortune (and a high score). In each cave he must collect all the keys to unlock the exit, and then make his escape before the air runs out. The caves are populated by dangerous robots of quite amazing designs, and the platforms pose additional problems that must be solved. Each cave is a mini puzzle that requires both some thinking and split-second controls to complete.

 The original 48K Spectrum version had twenty caverns, but Roy Coates managed to squeeze another two into the 32K Dragon. The cheat mode that allows you to select a starting cavern also differs from that of the Spectrum. On the Dragon you need to type PENGUIN when playing the game and if you are successful, which is not easy as 'P' also pauses the game, a boot will appear in the lower right of the screen after which pressing the break key then a letter from A to V will take you to a new screen.
