Miner 2049er – Atari 2600 – Tigervision – Proto

 

This rare Tigervision prototype of the Atari 2600 release is the only one known to exist. This is a pre-production cart. These are normally used for evaluation or marketing purposes before the production carts are available.

The ROM has been dumped and only differs from the the original in that there is a level select.

Miner 2049er Volume II – Atari 2600 – Tigervision

 

Miner 2049er Volume II was released in in 1983 by Tigervision for the Atari 2600. It had only three levels (“Volume I” only had three, too).

The back of the box proclaims “The three new mine screens will greatly challenge your gaming abilities.” They weren’t lying. The 2600 version is one of the hardest of all the ports (mostly because it was so hard to control).
