jboypacman Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 (edited) I had my Atari 5200 out today seeing as i had not played it in a little while and one of the games i put into play was Miner 2049er.I had forgotten how much fun it was to play and how suprisingly well it controls with the 5200 controllers. I may have to leave my 5200 out for a while and play this game some more.I think its one of the best 5200 games around.Just something i thought i would share.

Robbbert Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I've got Miner 2049er on a 5 1/4" floppy disk for my oldest pc. You have to to boot off the floppy for it to work. And it still does! Took a while to discover that you have to press Esc to jump... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeusExMachina Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 It is one of my favorite all time games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broonale Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I got it for $0.50 at Bookman's this weekend. I haven't played it yet. Once my son lets me near the 5200, I can take Adventure II out and try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidious Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 It took me two months of solid playing in the summer of 83 to see the tenth level.Awesome game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I only played it through emulation, but I think it's a far better version than the ColecoVision one that I bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Mo Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I love Miner 2049er. I had the good fortune to have a nice long conversation with Bill Hogue a couple of years ago when I was researching game I.P.s for work. I see there's a mobile version of Miner coming up from Magmic. Actually, I love miner more than Bounty Bob Strikes Back. I found the isometric platforms and the "steerable" jumps made the game harder that it needed to be, ergo less fun. But I loves me some Miner! And the Atari 800/5200 versions are hands down the best versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want Bounty Bob for the 5200 but I AM NOT GOING TO PAY $500 FOR ONE VIDEO GAME!!!!!!!!!!!! (Rant over.) (This is just me, I have no problem with others spending big bucks on games. I just happen to be on a tighter budget.) Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
