+atari2600land Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I can't clear the first screen in Miner 2049er. I get all the way to the top and then the time runs out and I die, leaving me no way to clear that top ledge. Who is the idiot that put the time limit in there anyway? Is there some way I can gain time or something? Or do I just suck at the game and need to practice more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Yes, you just suck <grin>...but really, just practice. It will come to you. Miner 2049er is a very difficult game...just wait until you get to Level 2, etc... Each one gets harder. I can't clear the first screen in Miner 2049er.

JEFF31 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Practice, Practice , Practice! Fantastic! Like I said to another 'great' player - 'Do you sleep with that thing?' (Lethal Weapon reference) I've never been past level 5. Thanks for the walkthru. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swami Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Some of these games take s lot of patience. In some ways I don't know how the skill comes over time, but it does. I just started Laser Blaster for the 2600 this week as part of the summer patch competition and I can't imagine anyone getting over 10,000, let alone the 100,000 needed for the first patch.

Greg2600 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Never like the CV version, runs too fast or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Colecovision version sucks . Time runs way to quick . 5200 version is great . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Yes but the controller is just plain terrible for a platforming game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 The CV and the 5200 versions are both great. It's not the cue stick, it's the person using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some way I can gain time or something? Or do I just suck at the game and need to practice more? I was confused because 1st screen is usually pretty simple. So I just booted up the Colecovision version. I see it runs a little too fast compared to what I'm used to and doesn't really give a whole lot of time. If it gets too frustrating try a different version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 There's plenty of time, the video proves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 There's plenty of time, the video proves it. Not as much compared to what I'm used to. I finished the 1st screen of the CV version with 700 left on the timer, and I did the same on the Atari 8-bit version with 1700 left. That's without much screwing around on either. So if you waste any time, the CV version is less forgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I grew up with the Atari 400 and this game, which was of course, the BEST version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
