About the game
The Mine (1983) for BBC Micro, Electron takes its place in the VG90 index as one more thread in the story of the early cartridge-and-arcade boom, kept here for readers researching the period.
the early cartridge-and-arcade boom was a period of rapid change for the medium: the arcade was king and the first home consoles were racing to catch up. Placing The Mine in that timeline shows where it sat as the industry evolved.
