Fun story: The original programmer of Miner 2049er (Bill Hogue) had been developing it for the TRS-80 Model I, but switched to the Atari 800 on learning that the former was going to be discontinued. Due to delays, the Apple II port was released first. The game was apparently quite popular as evidenced by the mass release of it on all different systems.
