MINER 2049er - KING OF AI

[Baby Blue Azure]

I often wonder where MINER 2049er designer Bill Hogue is these days. He's a genius, and apparently, so is his game. After spending 6 days disassembling & dissecting his game, I'm finding his game is truly phenomenal. So much so, that I found this version which 36 years later is learning to play itself! No Joystick, no Trakball, no Paddle Controller is required. This game plays itself, over and over again - still learning. I wonder if it will work at higher levels/stations as well.

Some may disagree but I enjoyed the 5200 version better than the Colecovision edition. The legendary 5200 sticks could make it frustrating but it was one of the Atari 5200 best games.

The first time I ever played this game was the ColecoVision version. So it will always be my personal favorite. But as the years passed, I enjoyed playing all the other versions as well; even the 2600 version.

 

Its an excellent game. The concept was perfect. So almost any version of it will be fun to play.
