Nothing too taxing but a good one for the kids (young and old) and well worth the £2.50 outlay. Read Review

I was a little suspicious when it loaded in half a minute. When the game got underway, all my fears were confirmed. It's so simple and repetitive, it's almost laughable. Read Review

Not just a challenge, a fight against the odds... If it could be slowed down or had a joystick option it might prove a winner. Read Review

Full Instructions
Introduction
OK sport, welcome to down under. Time was when those pesky misers weren't chasin' us around and things were a sight easier. Droppin' rocks on 'em will slow 'em down some!
The Game
Score points for every gold nugget reached and every miser you crush. But take care when digging under rocks, and try to clear all the nuggets before your time runs out. Each of the six misers will try a different approach and they are all hard to shake off. Your only defence is to trap them under falling rocks.
Playing The Game
Points are scored by digging, collecting gold and squashing misers. Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Magenta and Cyan misers carry a score from 100 to 600, respectively.
