My cousin and I actually did Manic Miner in a whole weekend using an infinite lives poke and lots of reloading. But this is just ridiculous …
I love the way he does the Warehouse. IIRC we spent literally hours trying to work out that level.
(Nice bit of drama if you watch it all the way to the last level).
Apparently I’m not allowed to play my favourite band, The Cardiacs in my own home!
Here are some music videos for you to enjoy anyway:
