The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #97 – Mined-Out

May 23, 2016 by Villordsutch

Originally published May 23, 2016. Updated April 14, 2018.

Villordsutch counts down Your Sinclair’s Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games…

Working our way on through the Top 100, we cautiously step into No. 97 arriving at Mined-Out from Quicksilva, released back in 1983.

Mined-Out featured some classic box-art for a ZX Spectrum game, that not only did it have bare-chested lady on the front, but it fibbed about what to expect on tape so muchthat  Trading Standards today would possibly have a giddy-fit upon seeing it.

It’s game programmed in BASIC, yet one so masterfully done you will be restarting over and over again until you complete at least one level.  Ian Andrew – the developer – took the classic Minesweeper idea, and made it his own in Mined-Out.  Completely addictive and you’ll be cursing your screen in a matter of minutes.
