They put way too many enemies in this shit. Speeding the game up definitely wasn't the right choice here either, as it turns something that's kinda slow and strategic and positional, into a normal platformer with a really shitty jump. Cool name entry screen, though.

More Miner 2049er. Though a sequel, I wouldn't say it's substantially different.

Atari 800:

This literally is just a port of the 5200 game, just faster, and yet still with an awful jump, both versions suck all around

5200:
This is just a Miner 2049er sequel that is both better in visuals but also worse in terms of gameplay, but it still trying to be a clone of Donkey Kong. Also in Bounty Bob Strikes Back, the jump feels too floaty that you'll 100% fall to your death 9 times out of 10 which is really annoying.
Like it's predecessor, it's just meh. And it's more so like a copy or a pseudo sequel to Miner 2049er, since Miner 2049er 2 Exists. If you want to be lazy call this Miner 2049er 3, cause thats what it essentially is.

The grotty little star of MINER 2049er is back for another suck-ass DONKEY KONG clone. He moves faster this time, but that doesn't fix much! If anything, just makes you get sick of it and quit faster.

Definitely an improvement over its predecessor, however it feels quite finnicky about climbing.
