      Can anyone help me remember the name of a C64 game about oil drilling? I don't remember much except you had to drill oil with an oil tower and I think if you went too deep then something had happened.

      Also, if you can name any other good C64 games to look up I'm sure I've forgotten a lot. This Pi build is going to focus on dosbox/c64/ and maybe Apple

          seems like clyde has solved the mystery.

          perhaps someone can solve my mystery game. it was a game where you were a miner, the goal of the game was to dig beneath the town, to find silver and gold and diamonds and whatnot. sometimes you'd hit water and the whole tunnel would flood and you'd die. If you attempted to leave the edge of the map, the screen would say 'here be dragons' or something to that effect. it was a computer game.

          *edit, never mind, its called miner vga apparently - runs off to install it

            @clyde Thank you for the research! Oil tycoon was one I played and forgot about but it sparked a memory that it was the TRS 80 game called Wildcatting! I could not for the life of me remember and this helped 100%. Thank you again!
