Miner 2049er free for iOS

Bill Hogue's 1982 masterpiece, Miner 2049er, is a historically important game, one of the first true platform games ever, excellent fun and the game that actually inspired Manic Miner. What's more, it has aged gracefully and gotten itself a pretty lovely update while being ported over to the touchscreens of the iPhone and iPad. You can happily grab said latest version of Miner 2049er over at the App Store for absolutely free. Oh, and you'll be getting both the classic and the updated versions of the game. Lucky you, eh?

  3. Too good? Nah... I have to one day tell you all about Elderly's heroic battles during the early 20th century. He's earned the iPad and the games.
