Miner 2049er is a game originally released on home computers and then later ported to the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, and ColecoVision. The Atari 2600 version had only three screens of the original version's ten, and was followed by Miner 2049er Part II which had three more screens from the original.
Gameplay
The player guides Bounty Bob through ten dangerous mazes filled with radioactive mutants and all sorts of contraptions set up by the evil Yukon Yohan to do our hero in. Bob must walk over all platforms in the mazes to "claim" them, but be careful to look where he leaps, because a leap too far can kill him. Have him use various prizes located in the mazes to destroy the radioactive mutants.
