Gold Miner is a great classic game, and it still works really well on newer PCs. It has an interesting variety of levels, and the graphics are very good. I highly recommend it for some great entertainment!

About this game
Gold Miner is included as an Extra inside Gold Miner: Special Edition, where the original arcade challenge can be launched directly from the menu. Time a swinging claw as it moves across the mine, then grab nuggets, diamonds, money bags, and other valuables before the clock runs out. Larger prizes pay more but take longer to haul, while rocks and poor catches can drain precious seconds. Reach the required cash goal for each stage and keep your fortune growing through increasingly demanding underground layouts.
The quick arcade rhythm of Gold Miner makes every swing a choice between speed, value, and risk. Mystery bags can reward cash, dynamite, or a strength boost, while the shop between stages offers useful upgrades. Slot-machine breaks add another chance to gamble for extra winnings. Read the field, aim carefully, and decide whether a heavy prize is worth the time it takes to pull. One smart grab can save a round, while one bad catch can leave the cash target just out of reach.

When I was younger, I never thought I would appreciate games on the computer or buying them over the internet. However, over the past three months, my perspective has completely changed. I have purchased several games and absolutely love Gold Miner. Thank you, GameFools, I certainly feel like one of you!
