So there's a new game on the site, Mega Miner. Seems like a good game, (I was bankrupt 5 minutes into the game). But does the game seem familier to anyone? Seems to be a rip-off of Motherload. Anyone else notice this? It is exactly the same, except Mega Miner has lower graphics/bugs in it. What do you think? Is it a rip-off of Motherload?

The mystery what you're going to find down there ist what keeps you focused. You just have to find it out, and trust me - it's worth the pain.^^ There will be a final battle and you have to have loads of extra fuel, repair kits and dynamite to defeat the boss. It's like, 'oooh, I won the game - HOLY ****, I have to fight?'

You've forgotten some things on your list:
Pro: You don't die, because the fuel station won't recoginse you. This didn't just make ML harder, it was unnecessary roughness against the player.^^
Con: You can't 'win' MM.
Con: You won't be rewarded for finishing MM.
Con: There is no plot in MM.
Con: (as fuggles mentioned) No physics at all. I don't want to take chances when I let myself fall into a deeeeeeeep hole that I eiter find the right time to pull it up again, crash, die and lose everything or go slowly so my fuel won't last, but a little bit of gravity or something would be fun.
Con: The prizes don't grow exponentially, as well as the costs, making it a grinding game.
Con: You make comparably insane amounts of money by completing the tasks, which led me to completely mine the whole ground of the first 300 metres.
Con: The cooler totally limits you. Once you drop below the required depth you gotta get out immediatly, IIRC in ML, the cooler only reduced the damage taken from explosions.

If you havn't played Mega Miner yet don't play it. It's a total rip-off of Motherload which is much better. Play it instead.

By the way can somebody tell me what the end of Motherload was?


Your boss is actually an evil guy that stays at the bottom of the earth and eventually you kill him. Oh yeah, he's the devil by the way.
