Bounty Bob Strikes Back! is the sequel to Miner 2049er published in 1984 for the Atari 8-bit family. As with the original, the Atari computer version was released on ROM cartridge.[1] The game adds a pseudo-3D look to the platforms and increases the level count from 10 to 25.

A port for the Atari 5200 was released the same year, followed by versions for the Commodore 64,[2] Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum in 1985.

Gameplay

Gameplay is similar to Miner 2049er in that the player must inspect every section of 25 mines while avoiding mutants within a set time. One difference is that after losing a life, sections on platforms remain covered and destroyed enemies do not reappear, making it easier to complete a level.

Reception

The ZX Spectrum version was voted the 19th best game of all time in a special issue of Your Sinclair magazine in 2004.[3]
