Retro365 | Oil's Well - Sierra On-Line, Inc., 1984 - IBM PC (4K) @Retro365 | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
A short play of Thomas Mitchell's Oil's Well, published by Sierra On-Line for the IBM PC in 1984.
Mitchell initially created the game for the Atari 400/800, copying Chris Obert's video arcade game Anthill, which Oberth had developed while at Stern Electronics in 1982.
While Anteater never became a commercial success, Mitchell's Oil's Well did and was ported to most major platforms of the era. It went on to spawn numerous clones, despite being a clone itself.
