Georg Rottensteiner liked Bounty Bob games so much that In 2006, he completed his remake for PC computers. He replicated all of the levels from Bounty Bob Strikes back, Miner 2049er and Miner 2049er II (the Apple II version) and even included a level editor so you can change them or create your own.
If you’d like to try it out, you can download it from his games page here (crashes on Windows 7, sadly).
Released for the Amstrad CPC in Europe in 1985 by US Gold, this conversion by Abersoft is one of the more visually accurate ports but suffers in the gameplay department due to sluggish movement and frequent slow-downs. Levels 12 (Acid Rain), 22 (Advanced Cannon), and 23 (Advanced Pulverizers) are missing. The title screen is also missing the animations of the original and the colors of each level are static (the same every time).
Yet another obscure Japanese port. This is the Fujitsu FM7 version by Comptiq. The FM7 was the precursor to the FMTowns.
This came either on casette or floppy disk.
We are missing this! If you have it and wish to donate it to the Miner 2049er Museum, please reply to this post! We’ll even accept just a picture if you don’t wish to part with yours.
This super hard to find version was released by Comptiq in 1984 for the Sharp X1 computer system in Japan. The X1 was the precursor to the Sharp X68000.
We are missing the packaging for this! If you have it and wish to donate it to the Miner 2049er Museum, please reply to this post! We’ll even accept just a picture if you don’t wish to part with yours.
