Bounty Bob Strikes Back is the follow-up to the marvellous Miner 2049:er. And a worthy successor it is too.

Bob is once again back in Nuclear Ned's mine, dealing with a multitude of mutants intent on over-running everything.

It's the same format as Miner 2049:er but a lot tougher. Bob must walk and jump between the various platforms bringing death and destruction to the mutants.

There are 25 caverns for him to tackle, many containing new features such as suction tubes, grain lifts and hoists. And Bob needs every bit of help. In one screen, there are 26 mutants to deal with! We defy anybody not to be hooked instantly and it will be many hours before you complete the progressively harder platforms.

Journeying around the mine, Bob comes across various items left by Nuclear Ned - such as mobile suction unit, pulverizers, elevators and hoists.

A real feature of the game is the delightful scoring system. As the high scores and players change, birds fly back and forth picking up individual letters and numbers before putting them into the correct order. A joy to see.
