From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
 Manic Miner is a platform game originally written for the ZX Spectrum by Matthew Smith and released by Bug-Byte in 1983 (later re-released by Software Projects). It is the first game in the Miner Willy series and among the early titles in the platform game genre. The game itself was inspired by the Atari 800 game Miner 2049er. It has since been ported to numerous home computers and video game consoles.
 At the time, its stand-out features included in-game music and sound effects, excellent playability, and colourful graphics, which were well designed for the graphical limitations of the ZX Spectrum. The Spectrum's video display allowed the background and foreground colours to be exchanged automatically without software attention and the 'animated' load screen appears to swap the words Manic and Miner through manipulation of this feature.
 On the Spectrum this was the first game with in-game music, the playing of which required constant CPU attention and was thought impossible. Fish (nicmagnier) mac os. It was achieved by constantly alternating CPU time between the music and the game. This results in the music's stuttery rhythm. The in-game music is In the Hall of the Mountain King from Edvard Grieg's music to Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt. The music that plays during the title screen is an arrangement of The Blue Danube.
 In each of the twenty caverns are several flashing objects, which the player must collect before Willy's oxygen supply runs out. Once the player has collected the objects in one cavern, they must then go to the now-flashing portal, which will take them to the next cavern. The player must avoid enemies, listed in the cassette inlay as '..Poisonous Pansies, Spiders, Slime, and worst of all, Manic Mining Robots..', which move along predefined paths at constant speeds. Willy can also be killed by falling too far, so players must time the precision of jumps and other movements to prevent such falls or collisions with the enemies.
 The game ends when the player has no lives left; extra lives are gained every 10,000 points,or when the player completes all twenty caverns and escapes to the open air.

Platform:
 This ver­sion of Manic Miner was de­sig­ned for per­so­nal com­pu­ters with o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem MS-DOS (Mi­cro­soft Disk O­pe­ra­ting Sys­tem), which was o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem de­ve­lo­ped by Mi­cro­soft in 1981. It was the most wi­de­ly-used o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem in the first half of the 1990s. MS-DOS was sup­plied with most of the IBM com­pu­ters that pur­cha­sed a li­cen­se from Mi­cro­soft. Af­ter 1995, it was pu­s­hed out by a gra­phi­cal­ly mo­re ad­van­ced sys­tem - Win­dows and its de­ve­lop­ment was ce­a­sed in 2000. At the ti­me of its grea­test fa­me, se­ve­ral thou­sand ga­mes de­sig­ned spe­ci­fi­cal­ly for com­pu­ters with this sys­tem we­re cre­a­ted. To­day, its de­ve­lop­ment is no lon­ger con­ti­nue and for e­mu­la­tion the free DOSBox e­mu­la­tor is most of­ten used. Mo­re in­for­ma­ti­on about MS-DOS operating system can be found here.

Miner 2049er is a platformvideo game created by Bill Hogue that was released in 1982 by Big Five Software. It was developed for the Atari 8-bit family and widely ported to other systems. The title 'Miner 2049er' evokes a 21st-century take on the California Gold Rush of around 1849, in which the gold miners and prospectors were nicknamed '49ers'.[1]
At the time of its release, a key selling point of the game was having ten different screens, which was a large number for a platform game.[2][3] For comparison, the Donkey Kong arcade game had four screens (and its console versions only two or three), which was more typical of the time.
Unlike most of the home computer versions, Miner 2049er for the Atari 8-bit family was released on 16K ROM cartridge with the high price of US$49.95 (equivalent to $132.33 in 2019).[4]
Plot[edit]Bounty Bob is a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on a mission to search through all of Nuclear Ned's abandoned uranium mines for the treacherous Yukon Yohan. Bob must claim each section of each mine by running over it. There are a wide variety of futuristic obstacles that he must deal with such as matter transporters, hydraulic scaffolds, and jet-speed floaters; plus, he must also avoid radioactive creatures that have been left behind in the mines.
Gameplay[edit]Level 6: The Radioactive Waste (Atari 8-bit)
As Bounty Bob, the player's goal is to inspect every section of each mine in search of the evil Yukon Yohan while avoiding the radioactive creatures that inhabit the mine. As Bounty Bob walks over a section of flooring, it fills with color. Follow the corruption mac os. To complete the level, every section of flooring must be colored. There are ten mines in total (eleven in the ColecoVision port). Each level is timed and must be completed before the player runs out of oxygen.
Along the way, Bob encounters many objects left behind by past miners. By collecting these, bonus points are achieved and the radioactive creatures smile and change color. While in this state, Bob can collect them and earn extra points.
Obstacles in each mine aid and hinder Bob's progress. Ladders allow him to climb up or down to the next platform; matter transporters teleport him to other transporters in that mine, chutes slide Bob off a platform (often against his will), and pulverizers crush Bob if he gets in their way. Most levels are defined by a unique element or obstacle.
Development[edit]Big Five Software co-founders Bill Hogue and Jeff Konyu programmed computer games from 1980-82 for Radio Shack's TRS-80 Model I home computer. They created games patterned after arcade games, such as Super Nova (Asteroids), Attack Force (Targ), Cosmic Fighter (Astro Fighter), Galaxy Invasion (Galaxian), Meteor Mission II (Lunar Rescue), Robot Attack (Berzerk), and Defense Command (Missile Command).[5]
Hogue was originally going to write Miner 2049er for the TRS-80 Model I, but Radio Shack discontinued it in mid-1982, so he instead developed the game on the Atari 800. The game required 16k at a time when cartridges were normally 8k, so the company had to produce their own circuit boards holding two EPROMs. Early versions of the cartridges had a bug in the elevator code. Due to a production delay, it was first released on the Apple II.[citation needed]
Ports[edit]Level 1: The Mine Shaft (C64)
Miner 2049er was ported to the Apple II, IBM PC (as a self-booting disk), Commodore 64, VIC-20, Atari 5200, Atari 2600, TI-99/4A, and ColecoVision. For the Atari 2600, two separate cartridges were published by Tigervision, each containing three selected levels: Miner 2049er and Miner 2049er Volume II.
Reception[edit]Miner 2049er Mac Os 7ANALOG Computing in 1982 called Miner 2049er 'one of those rare games which looks as if it were designed, not just thrown together', praising its animation and large number of levels, and concluded that it 'is a must-play game for the Atari'.[6]Softline in 1983 stated that the Apple version was a good port of the Atari version, which 'You already knew .. was a great game'.[7]
The game reached #1 on the Softsel Hot List in 1983. The same year, Softline's readers named the game the fourth most-popular Apple and sixth most-popular Atari program of 1983.[8]Miner 2049er was awarded '1984 Electronic Game of the Year' at the 5th annual Arkie Awards, where the judges noted that the game was available on so many platform that it had become 'the most widely played home electronic game of all time', and that 'no home-arcade title has had the impact' that the game had.[9]:40 It also won an Outstanding Software Award from Creative Computing that year.
Legacy[edit]Miner 2049er has been cited as the inspiration behind the Miner Willy[10] and Crystal Caves[11] series of games produced by Software Projects and Apogee Software respectively.
Sequels[edit]Development of two games followed that featured Bounty Bob. The first, named Scraper Caper, had Bob acting as a fireman in a side-scrolling building, but that version was scrapped and they started over with an unnamed new game where Bob was chased by fireballs in 3D. Neither was considered appealing enough to release, and in 1985 an official sequel was released, Bounty Bob Strikes Back!. However, it never achieved the same level of success as its predecessor,[citation needed] and it was Hogue's last game.[12]
Miner 2049er Mac Os CatalinaRe-releases[edit]A Game Boy version of the game with different graphics and levels was released by Mindscape in 1991.

Miner 2049er was re-released in 2007 by Magmic for the mobile market. This version contains both a recreation of Hogue's original and the second a modernized version. The remake received an IGN Editor's Choice Award and won the Best Revival category in the Best of 2007 IGN awards.[13][14] In 2011, Magmic added support for iOS devices.
Also in 2007 Hogue released an emulator coded in C++ with both Bounty Bob games in one package for Windows. The emulator was made available free of charge on the Big Five website. Hogue states that as neither game used any Atari ROM routines they are not necessary for the emulator to run.[15]
An updated version of the game was announced in 2018 for the Intellivision Amico.[16]
