Description

This game was done on a PR1ME Computer 550 in Fortran using ASCII graphics (extended text). It was then ported to VAX by adding some PASCAL code. Finally is was ported to Apple ][+ via 6502 assembly code, name changed to Miner, and submitted to Brøderbund for publishing, and promptly rejected. But Smith created an improved version called Lode Runner which was not rejected.
