: The first video game I remeber playing at home, or at least not in an arcade/cafe (it was actually at school!) was on the Commodore Pet.

: You played a miner, and had to go digging for gold (asterisks i believe) You had to watch out for water - (the @ symbol).

: It was monochrome green - all ASCII characters, with "beep" sopund effects.

: Anyone remember it or know what it was called ???

: I would LOVE to play it again !!

  • there are a few bbc emulators that emulate it, you can get them from www.8bs.com, you should be able to find the game there as well, just follow the links... also you may be able to find a spectrum emulator, or a pet emulator that does it too, just trying searching with yahoo.
