7-008, Miner 2049er, & 07-011, Miner 2049er Vol. 2 by Tigervision!


What a lovely flock of gazebos

Hi there, welcome back my friends to the show that no longer comes out on time. In this episode I talk about two (count 'em) games by Tigervision, Miner 2049er and Miner 2049er Volume II. two sides of the same coin, if you will. there's lots of fun links to check out down yonder so have at it if you are so inclined. Next up is Glacier Patrol, made by Sunrise via VSS but distributed well after the fact by Telegames. I'm sure all of you spent hours playing this game in your youth,; if you'd like to tell me about it please send an email or audio to me at 2600gamebygame@gmail.com by August 19th. Thank you very kindly, have a lovely day and I thank you for listening.
