I love the podcast!

I have a suggestion for a game — a classic from 1989 which was released to the public domain. In it you play… a miner. You can visit the hospital to heal injuries, the saloon for food and drink (or something a little more…), the general store to buy gear, the bank to sell your loot, and the outhouse for … relief. You win the game by getting enough money and acquiring a diamond ring to marry your love, Mimi the barmaid. You lose by getting killed in the dangerous mines (drowning in a flood or getting crushed in a cave-ins) or going bankrupt.

It is a reasonably challenging game and I had a lot of fun playing this back in the day, and still play it occasionally today.

Oh, that looks pretty cool. Hadn’t heard of it before. Seems to be a rather smallish game? If so, we have a few of them in the suggestions, might play them all in the same month.
