Minefield was written in 1985 for the BBC Micro by William Prew.

You are the commander of a World War 2 tank. You are told by H/Q that you must navigate your way through a minefield in order to break a vital enemy defence. To help you through the mines an onboard sensory device will tell you how many mines there are in the vicinity, but will not tell you where they are! According to how many mines there are in the area your tracks will change colour: 0=Yellow, 1-Red, 2=Blue, 3-Green. There is a safe area at the bottom of the screen which does not conceal any mines. Every time you move you use up fuel, if your supply gets very low you can run over a fuel drum which will give you 10 more gallons of petrol. If you reach the other side of the mined area you will proceed to a higher screen, which will conceal more mines!

You score points by collecting fuel and enemy leaders (from Level 6 onwards). The Roll of Honour saves the 8 best scores.
