JellE Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Miner 2049erContest ends Friday, January 16, 2009 at 11:30 pm EDT.Start this game on Station 1 (or beginner level). If you feel this is too easy for you and would like to start on a higher "level", feel free to do so.This was released in the US in 1982 by Big Five Software and programmed by Bill Hogue. Here is also a link to the instructions.Have fun and good luck!!As always, please feel free to post comments, suggestions, ideas and gripes.After much debate, and remembering what I had initially intended on doing the start of this season... I have come up with a compromise of sorts. I hope this is okay for everyone and if not... lemme know... and maybe we can figure something else out! 8-BIT HIGH SCORE CLUB SEASON 6 Contest 1: Miner 2049er Ends: 11:30 PM EDT 01/16/2009 Player Place Score Points therealbountybob 1st 266,705 12 Deteacher 2nd 255,570 11 poobah 3rd 77,450 10 dodgers 4th 62,215 9 darthkur 5th 47,020 8 VW 6th 35,155 7 spookt 7th 33,620 6 Goochman 8th 22,810 5 TimsterAA 9th 22,520 4 a8isa1 10th 19,840 3 Velcro_SP HM/P 18,660 1 Gwobby HM/P 18,550 1 JellE HM/P 12,325 1 Zone Ranger HM/P 8,015 1 HM/P 1 HM/P 1 HM/P 1 Edited January 17, 2009 by JellE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwobby Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) 15,570, this is a great game for the High Score Contest! I feel there could be some competition for top spot (sadly, probably not me!) Edited January 5, 2009 by Gwobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spookt Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Whoo Hoo - 25,765 and station 6 at last I got so excited at getting to station 6 that I fell straight in the radioactive waste !!! Edited January 6, 2009 by spookt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Ok, this is awful: I scored 112,700. I got up to station 10, zone 2. I hit "prnt scrn" (which is what I do when I use Stella) and this is what came up: Obviously, I'm not going to expect folks to take that for proof. I'll definitely play again, but I'll remember not to take screenies like that in the future. I'll do it through the emulator. I know I can do better. I lost 2 lives on the first cannon by being stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
