Founded by Bill Hogue, Big Five Software was a relatively small company that was
responsible for some big hits. The trilogy of Miner
2049er, Bounty
Bob Strikes Back, and Scraper Caper was a favorite of both fans and critics,
although the latter two didn't receive as much distribution. Miner 2049er was
cited as being one of the first true arcade quality games to be written first
for home systems, and it was ported to over 15 different consoles and computers.
Hogue started out programming for the TRS-80
Color Computer while he was a salesman at Radio
Shack. After writing a number of games for that system, he moved on to the
Atari computer, and Miner 2049er was his first offering. Pretty impressive! | |
