Play Miner 2049er Volume II Online

Game Overview

Miner 2049er Volume II is one of those Atari 2600 games that starts simple and then absolutely wrecks you. You play as Bounty Bob, chasing some guy through a radioactive mine—which, honestly, sounds like a terrible idea, but here we are.

The first screen’s all about hopping around to "claim" every platform while dodging mutants. You can grab these little miner items to go invincible for a sec and rack up points, but the real trick is timing your jumps right—those mutants move in weird patterns. And don’t get too comfortable, because the timer’s always ticking down in the corner.

Then it gets worse. The Crusher level adds these slow-moving death blocks that’ll flatten you if you linger, and the Radioactive Waste area? Yeah, that’s exactly as fun as it sounds. Beat all three, and the game loops back around, but now you don’t get any power-ups. Just you, the mutants, and a whole lot of panic-jumping.

It’s the kind of game where you’ll swear you’ve got the hang of it—right before losing your last life to some nonsense.
