Bounty Bob Strikes Back!

Bounty Bob Strikes Back! for the Atari 5200 is the official sequel to Bill Hogue’s acclaimed platformer Miner 2049er, developed by Big Five Software.

The game builds on the foundation of its predecessor with expanded level design, increased challenge and a wider variety of interactive elements.

Players once again take on the role of Bounty Bob as he attempts to secure every section of framework across 25 complex mines. Each level requires covering every platform segment by walking over it, a task that demands careful navigation, timing and strategic planning. To reach all areas of a mine, players must make use of ladders, slides, cannons, suction tubes, transporters and other mechanical devices that help — or sometimes complicate — the path forward.

Throughout the mines, dangerous mutants roam freely. Making contact with one costs a life unless Bob has collected a special food item, which temporarily allows him to eliminate the creatures by simply touching them. Each level features unique layouts and hazards, requiring players to adapt their approach and develop individual strategies for success.

A time limit adds pressure, encouraging quick yet deliberate exploration as players work to claim the entire mine before the clock runs out. With its combination of platforming precision, puzzle-like navigation and inventive mechanical gimmicks, Bounty Bob Strikes Back! remains one of the most distinctive and challenging titles in the Atari 5200 library.
