Having owned this game since it came out, and playing different versions over various systems over the years, I had forgotten how compelling and fun it is on the Atari 2600. The graphics are simple, but bright, and the gameplay is outstanding. Basically you are an underground miner with an air pump. Your objective is to blow up monsters in the tunnels, before they kill you. There are also rocks in tunnels which can also be used to kill the enemy monsters. As each level progress, the challenge increases. It is just as fun as the arcade version, and despite the graphical differences it is a great game that loses nothing in translation.

This really is one of the best titles for the 2600. I remember playing this one on the 7800, and I have to say, this version is every bit as good with the game play. The graphics and sound are also very good for the 2600. Very impressed by this one. If your collecting old Atari classics this one should be in your top 5 for sure.

I have fond memories of watching my father play this when I was about 3 years old. He played for hours and hours because he was so good at it that he could play endlessly without dying. All these decades later, I still remember the color schemes of the different levels. The gameplay is easily some of the most fun you can have on the Atari 2600. It ranks up there with Pitfall 1/2, Defender, etc.

For the time frame, the graphics are great. It's a good game for younger players.
