Old skool platforming classic Miner 2049er leaping onto iOS
Dig deep
Miner 2049er came out nearly three decades ago, and now Magmic is bringing the classic to the iPhone and iPad.
A platform-based game, Miner 2049er has you climbing ladders and avoiding enemies while collecting as much gold as possible.
Details are scant, but Magmic has mentioned that the platformer will get a “sexy makeover”. We’re not sure if it means the game or, ahem, our hero Yukon Bob himself. It’s also unclear whether it will be a Universal app for iPhone and iPad or two separate games.
Back in 2007, we gave the J2ME version of Miner2049er a paltry 4 because of its boring, repetitive gameplay. Let’s hope the new update delivers enough quality gameplay to satisfy not only the old skool gamers, but also the modern ones.
