Minesweeper Game Database

Minefield (1986)



Overview
Minefield was written for the Commodore C16 and Plus/4 in 1986 by G. Vance.

Use your joystick (in port two) to manoeuvre your treasure hunter towards the ingots. Avoid the mines, the perimeter fence and the grids. When you've collected all the ingots, exit to the next screen by means of one of the grids.

You use your joystick to collect treasure. Once you start moving you cannot stop. Completing a level starts the next level with 5 more mines and 1 less exit.
