Nice and Games -- Miner 2049er [ColecoVision]

[TwinCityKillaz]

Kinda like an early City Connection (Arcade, NES)

[MetalJesusRocks]

Do you typically play these Colecovision games with the Colecovision controller or something like the 2600 or Genesis controller?

[classicgamer1968]

Holy Crap!

I never got through Level 4 on this and now i've got to try completing the screens the way you play them!

Thanks!

How can anyone do a video review of Miner 2049er and -NOT- show what happens when you touch a mutant??

[niceandgames]

@carm3d Oh it's easy, you just don't put any clips of it happening in the video.  Ba-dum-bum. I'll be here all week, folks.

OK, I know people like that death animation, but, I'm sure I'll put it in the video for the Atari 8-bit version. If or when I get to it. :)

I remember this game well. I found it to be pretty playable. A classic platformer. Here in the UK we had Manic Miner which was loosely based on this game.

[niceandgames]

@DLiberator78 I've watched videos of Manic Miner, it looks fun!  And zany. Zany fun. :)

Great title, I enjoyed many games of Miner 2049'er on the C64

[austinmackert]

I've never played this game but it looks quite awesome. I will need to pick some version of it up sometime!

[fandenivoldsk]

Very good review! And a great game!

[niceandgames]

@fandenivoldsk Thank you!

[electricadventures]

Great review, a must have for anyones Coleco collection especially if you are into platform games! I seen the game a few times on eBay but my memory had lost the details.

[Fawltykog]

Cool game but always preferred Manic Miner being as i'm a limey and all that!

Is 'Bounty Bob Strikes Back' on your reviewing agenda?

[niceandgames]

@Fawltykog Well, I don't own Bounty Bob. I could download it, but I only like to do videos about games I physically own. Which I guess is kind of silly, but, yeah. I really should get that one though! 

[65Gamerguy]

This game is way harder on the ColecoVision compared to the Atari version. You have to do everything perfectly with only a second or so to spare on almost every screen. Back in the day I did I get though all 11 levels but it was hell.

[GunshipHero]

That's some classy box art. The question in this picture is: Who had more of the XXX liquor - Bounty Bob or his horse.? ^^

[niceandgames]

@GunshipHero lol Is that a horse or a donkey? A mule?  Are donkeys just really really drunk horses?

[IntellivisionDude]

Cool looking game. I'll have to pick this up someday.

[HiroGaems]

Very cool! I found this game a while back in a box of Atari 8-bit games I forgot I had. Don't remember ever playing it, but it looks like fun!

[niceandgames]

@HiroGaems It not only looks like fun, it plays like fun!

[atarileaf]

I have the Atari 8-bit version too. Really like it. This CV version looks good too.

[MAMECADE]

What a great review. A happy mutant is a dead mutant I always say!

[niceandgames]

@MAMECADE lol Truly words to live by! :)

[pcvideogamer]

i used to have a CV, the best arcade conversions of the day for the home were on this machine.

[SteveBenway]

I'm glad you "did it anyway!" I laughed :D
