Goodness knows what Arthur Scargill would make of the working conditions in the Magnetic Quartz mine in a Dromedan Leisure complex.

But I suspect that even his lads would think twice before taking on the natives in this game.

You play a sort of England soccer fan-type role, charging round the mine up and down ladders between different levels digging holes for the poor residents (Dromedaries?) to fall into.

When they do, you belt them through the floor with a long-handled shovel.

Some beasties are tougher and need to be dropped through more than one level. Try to clear each level before you run out of oxygen or get eated!

The game has nine levels of play and is quite a challenge in the later stages.

The graphics are fairly good and the Spectrum's limited sound is used well to add to the excitement. Control is by keyboard or Kempston joysticks.

Definitely high on addictiveness, and great fun to play.
