Minefield (1981)



Overview
Minefield was written for the Acorn Atom in 1981 and published by Program Power.

Tread warily to save your skin when you are playing Minefield, one of the latest games avilable for the Acorn Atom. In this game introduced by Leeds software supplier Program Power, the only protection is a metal detector to pick out the mines. The minefield spreads across the screen with the one safe patch being your home square on the far side of the field.

Minefield was sold in a pack of three 2K games for £5.95. The other games were Snake and Awari.

The Atom Software Archive states 'T. Madden' wrote the game but it does not provide evidence.
