Welcome to a new season in the 5200 HSC. We had a great turnout in the 2nd half last season and records falling almost every week. Hopefully, everyone will join us and make season 5 just as much fun.

Our game is Miner 2049er. Play on default starting settings. Emulation is fine as is whatever control scheme you wish. Pics helpful, but not required.
Round ends on Sunday February 19th 2012 @ 10pm EST

Played this a bit last night, fun game! Never played it before, definitely need more practice.

[JacobZu7zu7]

What do I do on level 4, the platforms wont let me jump without dieing,
and there's no elevator or ladder way to climb??

[sdamon]

If I recall, that level is all about precision jumping. I'm sure there's a YouTube video out there that shows you how to do it. If it makes you feel any better, the Miner sequel, Bounty Bob Strikes Back, has levels that make level 4 (and any other 2049er level) look like a piece of cake.

[JacobZu7zu7]

Want to start this season firing... this Miner game I never played, (beyond a quick test game),
so I'll have to work a lot.

I've never played this one and don't have it, so I'll get out my DC emulator for a token play.

It never was, from me anyways. I gave it a one-and-done just for some points.

I made it to level 5 for the first time today. There are two tricky platforms. The small one in the top, middle of the screen you need to approach from the left - run and jump as one foot is over the edge. The other tricky one is the small one on the left side of the screen. I'm not sure there's a way off of it, so I saved it for last and fell (not jumped) onto it from above.

21,875 - didn't take a pic because I know I can do a lot better.

This is the best I can do:
