drmortalwombat is at it again with his new release Mineshaft Gap for the Commodore 64.
After decades of a grinding and devastating cold war, the conflict with our enemies finally got hot. We had no other option but to strike first with our full nuclear arsenal. Retaliation was to be expected, and it came, leaving the earth’s surface in a desolated state, thus giving the cockroaches their chance of dominance, they had been waiting for.
To save our great nation from total annihilation, we put our best into hibernation pods in a system of underground shelters, to be ready to rebuild the world, once the conditions had improved.
As our leader, your brain got extracted from your body and placed into a stationary control center, to watch over them, monitor the outside conditions and oversee the rebuilding. Unfortunately after several millennia of playing mine sweeper and solitaire, you got so bored, that you began to wake up the bunker dwellers, and start the civilization underground.
It is possible that our enemy had similar plans, so we have to make sure that they will neither outbuild nor outbreed us, we must not allow a mineshaft gap.
Mineshaft Gap is a real-time strategy game for the C64 where you control up to 32 independent bunker dwellers in their strive for a less radioactive better future.
The game has been tested with C64, C128, TheC64 and emulators. It is intended for PAL mode. A disk drive 8 or 9 is required for saving.
Mineshaft Gap is a Name-your-own-price game. Click here to download the .PDF, .d64, and .prg files.
