Wow. First time I've seen one of my old games in decades. Miner 2049'er sure looks like a game of the same name I wrote back in '82, age 17. Sold quite a few copies thru Sears & KMart in the US, distributors in UK sold a bunch more. Paid for a bunch of mid-80's parties.

Miner 2049'er was up there with Hard Hat Mack and Donkey Kong. Maddening but great in that the stages had completely different mechanics, Miner was unforgiving in some ways but loose in others, felt like a precursor to Montezuma's Revenge. Thanks for the fun!

Turns out, that was not my game. Mine was "Miner 2049er" without the apostrophe, and it was more like Activision's Pitfall. Very similar graphics, surprisingly.

Always was impressed by games developers who became millionaires back then.

Hardly, I lost money.
