Manual: http://adamarchive.org/archive/Manuals/ColecoVision/Miner 2049er.pdf

 

Round Ends: Sunday December 18th  at 8pm (PST) 11pm (EST)

 

Rules are simple. After each round ends, the player with the lowest score is eliminated and we continue playing rounds until one individual remains atop the carnage. Having the top score isn't necessary yet, just try not to have the lowest score. If more than one player or players tie for the lowest score, the player with the best average finish from the previous rounds will move on. Good Luck!

 

Simply play the first 3 levels, Ladders, Slides & Elevator. Once you are on your last life, clear Level 3, advance to Level 4 and pause the game, that will be your score. As last years winner proved, the most points are on Level/Screen 2. So get to Screen 2 and use your lives there for a higher score, just be sure to save 1 life to clear Level 3 and get to Screen 4 to stop. It does seem possible to score 10,000 for the extra life before advancing to Level 4 for even more points. To pause the game use # or be quick to get a pic of your score, or a video if possible.

 

Good Luck!

Still had a life left, but was focusing on being able to beat the 3rd level. Can't say I'm a fan. But hopefully I'll get good enough that it stops being so frustrating.

This new score doesn't change my placement, but posting it anyway. I also got a score a few hundred higher, but didn't make it to level 4, so not including it. I don't think I'll have time to improve.
