Geeky Game

[Slipperduke]

Ok, not everyone is going to like this one. It's heroically geeky and ultimaately rather pointless, but it's more addictive than Twiglets.

You're a miner. You have to dig in a BoulderDash* kind of landscape for ore. Run out of fuel and you'll explode, fall off a ledge too hard and you'll explode.

Dig the ore, drop it off at the refinery, spend the money on sharper drills, bigger fuel tanks etc. Dig deeper. Some nasty **** happens down deep....

You'll either hate it after five minutes and never play it again, or you will get dragged into its cold embrace and become like me; damned to dig forever.

Very.

Good game, I'm just stunned how people get such massive scores.

i used to play this a LOT

i always found the problem was you get so deep, i cant remember how deep it is now, and you hit air pockets, and die straight away :(

Yes, I did that at 5,200 foot. I was upset. I may have kicked things.

*hands MK Shrimper a big axe*

It would be more than the firewalls that would feel my wrath.....
