Bounty Bob Strikes Back! is the sequel to Miner 2049er published in 1985 [1] for Atari 8-bit computers. The game adds a pseudo-3D look to the platforms and increases the level count from 10 to 25. As with the original, the Atari 8-bit version was released on ROM cartridge.[2] A port for the Atari 5200 was released the same year, followed by versions for the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, and ZX Spectrum also in 1985.

In 2001,[a] Bill Hogue, the game's developer, released the game and its prequel, Miner 2049er, for free online with an embedded Atari 8-bit computer emulator.[4]
