An original game in which you attempt to reach the top of the screen, avoiding the monsters which guard the path you must take. At the same time, you have to eat as many pound signs (worth £100 each) as you can within the time limit.

Very easy to play, with some nice touches: for example, the program asks for your name and then prints messages using it. For controls you use the arrow keys. The enter key can also be used just once in each game as a panic button: press it when you are just about to be eaten, and you will be whisked to the nearest doorway between the corridor you are in and the one below.

Since the highest resolution graphics are used, no colour is available, but I didn't find that this detracted from the game. Monster Mine is addictive and enjoyable, suitable for almost any age.
