Manic Climber 
by Hugh Dereli
from Your Computer, September 1984


Hugh Dereli's program will soon have you climbing the walls..


In this fast multi-sheet machine-code game for the 16K/48K Spectrum,
you control Fred the builder who works on a construction site building
a skyscraper. Fred must journey up the girders and ladders of the
unfinished building to get to the top. Unfortunately, barrels are
rolling down the girders towards our hero. Fred must jump over or
avoid these. To get onto the next sheet he must collect all the ham-
burgers first.

Other hazards include lifts and poison weeds. You must also be careful
that your time doesn't run out, and don't fall too far either. If you
manage to make it through all nine sheets, the game will begin again
only this time the action will be faster. The keys are shown in the
centre column of this page.


	Q to T		Jump / Up ladder
	Caps Shift to V	Down ladder
	O		Left
	P		Right

Now to typing in the game itself. First, type in your favourite hex
loader. If you do not have one, use listing 1. This version includes a
hex checker as well. Now enter and check the code in listing 2.

Now type:
	NEW
Do not worry - the program is above RAMtop and will not be destroyed.
Now type in the main Basic listing - listing 3. You can now save the
whole program by typing:
	SAVE "ManicClimb" LINE 0: SAVE "code" CODE 29300,4000
[although the code is only 2800 bytes. JimG]. Now rewind and verify
with:
	VERIFY "": VERIFY "" CODE
Now, you can load it back in with:
	LOAD ""
