Old Atari game - Miner 2049 - Get your PC emulator

I am sure anybody who had an Atari computer will remember the games "Miner 2049" and "Bounty Bob strikes back".

The original programmer has written an emulator that runs in Windows for these two games.
Get the download here, it is still great fun:

Pitfall?

The programmers of that time was constrained by memory size - and they had to cram their game into 16k/48k/64k of memory...

Yes I think Miner 2049 was originally 8 kbytes of memory. As far as i can rememmber Space Invaders was written in 2k and Pitfall Harry for the Atari 2600 in 4kbytes.
