I've only ever seen that game in one arcade back in the early 80s. Just watched a Youtube play-through of it and it doesn't look a thing like I think I remembered.

Good gamers always appreciate amazing alliteration.

The Miner 2049er series is my favorite. Miner2049er and its sequel, Bounty Bob Strikes Back. Bill Hogue made a free custom emulator for both games, which you can download here.

They could have played the über-rare 2600 version using the adapter. ;)

I googled both of those and they didn't look familiar. But I did come across the one I was thinking of...

Memory Manor by Fisher Price!

Tempest, Robotron 2084, Mr. Do, Tapper, and Burger Time are my faves.

I can't say I've ever played that. Looking at the gameplay footage, I can't really tell what is going on with that game, other than just cleaning windows to match up items.

Yeah that was the gist of it.

It was an "educational" game so there wasn't a whole lot going on.
