This game can get difficult, but it's so much fun to play. Just proved that you don't need 50 buttons on your controler and 360 degree views to have a good time with a computer game.
not worth your time

Dumb Dumb Dumb If you like games like we used to play on old IBM 8088 processors this is for you. 20 years behind the times. It seems as though the game designers are a little out of date.
Fun Game!

Developer’s Description

By Roving Sheep Games

Explore old mines for gold in this arcade game.

Take your P4 on a trip back to 1988 as you lead binner and spelunker extraordinaire Sam on a journey into the mines of Medicine Hat Alberta. Essentially an old school action scroller, you guide Sam as he searches underground for his fortune in gold and plunder. Even on his dark road to wealth, Good Sam can't help clearing the place of its recyclable goodies, adding those dimes and nickels to his ever increasing horde. Avoid rats, drones and out-of-hand army boys through four challenging levels with crisp graphics, fancy sound, and brainful non-linear game play - all of which make this charming scroller well worth the download.
