Comments are turned off. Quel surprise... I mean though, the idea's sound, but a slopified execution "Ain't it, chief" as the kids say.

I like how in the trailer Miner Willy's fingers show deformation, edge detection errors & layer hierarchy issues between key frames; all of which are hall marks of generative "AI" that would not happen if being done by a human that has pride in their work. But sure, claim no "AI" was used.

What do you mean? I see nothing wrong with this classic 1:1 old television, we all had one right?

I don't like it at all, but it was a common art style long before AI.

It's awful. And they disabled comments on it from the start, so they KNEW there would be backlash.

Endorsed by the original creator? Has he actually seen it though? Id wager what he supported wasnt supposed to be this ai abomination.

Leina @bowsette.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

An atrocious slop trailer made by obvious con artists. This is feeling like the year where UK retro games are pillaged by chancers looking to make a fast buck.

AI slop can burn in hell. Real games use real artists.

It's ungodly and is getting the utter derision from everyone that it deserves.

I still haven’t gotten over the Amiga port of Jet Set Willy, so it will be at least a couple of decades before I dip my toe back in those waters.

Also, it says in the description "This version of Manic Miner® is officially endorsed by Matthew Smith". I wonder if he knows about that, and if so, did he own the license/copyright then?

Imagine if they'd asked AI to do something interesting.

A level from Manic Miner rendered as a "Model Railway from Hell" - scenery is made from painted plywood. Miner Willy is a painted lead figure. Eugene the enemy is a painted figure too. From the nature of the light and the scale of textures, it is clearly at model railway scale.

urgh.. reminds me of the new Commander Keen game trailer 6 years ago that stunk so bad and pissed so many off they cancelled it lol. When will they learn that most retro gaming fans don't want that cheap mobile/internet/AI flash game art style we see so often.
