           MANIC MINER 5: Los peligros del LSD (The perils of LSD)



   This time, Willy had planned everything with much more care. as he wanted

this mamooth party to be the greater in hystory, but without the 'slight

problem' of the last time, everithing had been organizer with the greater

discretion possible, avoiding then that Maria would notice anything at all,

Maria, his dominant housekeeper. The best part of his scheme, what would

grant Willy´s tranquil sleep without any bothering housekeeper blocking the

entry of his bedroom, had been to give her the surprise of a full free week.

It is true that he had a lot to achive his goal: her leaving trough a whole

week, time she would spend visiting her sister, until finaly she left

grumbling because of her suspicions, but hwo cares! In a week he would have

all the time in the world to finish with the preparations, to go on the

binge at the mamooth party and later snore soundly until he wanted to stop.

And still he would have a couple of days to phone a few cleaners who would

leave everything in it's place before the dreadful Maria came from her 

sister´s...



   Everithing in the party was surpassing the previous espectations, that

is: half-naked women running trough the corridors, the giggles of the spree

were listened miles away, neighbourghs complaining compulsively and

threatening with calling the police... But it is common knowledge that

nothing can run perfectly too much time, and things always go wrong at last.

After trying to overstep the limits of that booby black-haired woman for the

fiveteenth time and after receiving her corresponding fiveteenth slap, Willy

felt a certain strange taste when giving the fiveteenth drop from the unique

gin bottle he could get in that confusing and choking crowd in the bar of

his living-room. When he observed the malicious glances and the growing

giggles his suppoused friends where devoting him, a shy suspicion began

growing in his mind between the alcoholic fumes of his only growing but

quite big already drunkenness, stimulated by the vision of certain white

rests that floated in the few gin that still was in his bottle, and

acompained by the tremendous and, by moments, thunder-like boisterous laughs

that were now the before small giggles.



   When that devilish substance began to show it's effects in his brain,

mixed with the great quantity of alcohol that was taking control of his

body, Willy saw himself in a nightmare world. Long forgotten enenies came

back from the depths of his mind to pursue him once more. Meanwhile, his

friends, with a mixture of astonishment and hilarity, saw him running from

one side to the other of the room, jumping over the furniture...



   Would Willy escape from this allucinated and nightmare-like world, or

would he finish in a madhouse?

   Thanks to:



-Mathew Smith, for the original and unvaluable Manic Miner.



-Rick Swann, for the levels & sprites editors, and for his artickle 'How to

 hack' (available at http://www.void.demon.nl/hacking.html), that was a

 great help when hacking the Manic Miner code (let's see if you are able of

 discovering what is that trick about).



-Blood, for giving the editors to the net, and for that curious program, the

 BMP2SPEC (http://www.geocities/SiliconValley/lakes/6142/download.html),

 that I've used to make the loading screen (OK, it's not a very good

 loading screen, but I'm not so handsome either ;) ). I would also thank him

 for his moral support: thanks to him I've finished before the 2000.



-Juan Antonio Moreno, for his fantastic emulator, the ZX-JAM (get it from

 http://www.redestb.es/personal/jamoreno), that I've used for almost the

 whole work.



-Pedro Manuel Rodríguez Salas, for another great emulator, the SINCLAIR (you

 can download it from http://www.ugr.es/~pedrom/sinclair.htm). It's emulated

 memory editing facilities helped me a lot when hacking the code.



-And to my brother Pablo, for his traduction into English of this file, who,

 poor little thing, begs for pardon. He did all his best.
