* PowerUps: When Bob finds items left behind by other miners, the monsters smile and turn green; when they are like this Bob is able to destroy them. (Sort of like how PacMan can kill the Ghosts by eating the big dots.)

A pioneering PlatformGame created by Bill Hogue, ''Miner 2049er'' stars a fat Mountie named Bounty Bob who explores the derelict uranium mine that once belonged to Nuclear Ned in pursuit of the Swedish fur trapper Yukon Yohan. Bounty Bob must "claim" all the stations in the mine while avoiding or eliminating the mutant organisms that live there.

Originally released in 1982 by Big Five Software for Atari8BitComputers, the game was soon ported to a wide variety of home computers and consoles.

A sequel, ''Bounty Bob Strikes Back!'', was released in 1985.

!!Tropes:
* CollisionDamage: The mutant organisms are harmful to touch, apparently because they absorbed a high level of radiation in the mine.
* SmashingHallwayTrapsOfDoom: One station has a whole row of crushing traps to walk through.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Two stations feature teleporters that connect four different levels. These have to be allowed to recharge between uses.
