It's just like being Indiana Jones, except ur probably going to die... in fact death is a certainty - the only question in this avoidance game is how long will it take before ur dead. Ur goal is to go down the mine as far and as deep as you can get before u... die. Duck for cover, shift left, right, up and down to avoid things or to grab some money.
It's all fun and games until you hit ur head on a pointy spike. Can you succeed where others have failed? Can you get the highscore that beats the world champion? Can the mine shaft of death not take your life? All these questions and many more are answered once you play this game.
