About the game

Bounty Bob has to claim every inch of an abandoned uranium mine. Walk over a section of floor and it changes color; paint them all and you move on to the next station. Ladders, slides, lifts, a cannon, and a lot of glowing mutants stand in the way.

Ten different screens was a lot for 1982, and it became one of the best-selling games on the Atari computers. Grab a mining tool and the mutants turn vulnerable for a few seconds, Pac-Man style.
