Diamond Thief

I have fond memories of playing Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy on the Spectrum so [b] Diamond Thief [/b] caught my eye and I thought I would give it a go. I don't think this game quite has the charm of those classics, and you can easily play them in your browser if you do a Google search, but this comes close and is good enough to scratch that itch if you have it. There are over 60 levels which get progressively harder as you explore. You begin with eight lives and have to collect all the diamonds in a level and then escape through the air conditioning (I think that's what it is). If your lives do run out there is a continue button, but you only get three lives through using the continue, which makes progression even harder. Perhaps, five lives would be better because at the end of the day we just want to get to the end. The game demands timing with both jumping and setting off on your route because things like collapsing floors or timing bounces of an enemy need to be measured, so the game is quite difficult. I would have preferred it if the diamonds you collected in a run were kept once you died but it is staying true to the original I suppose. I'm not sure if there are any …

First of all, thanks to 3tgames for creating a great bit of nostalgia. This game is a must for Manic Miner fans. If 3tgames make more games in the future, I would love to see other games similar to zx spectrum ones.
