Retro365 | O'Riley's Mine - Datasoft, 1983 - Atari 400/800 (4K) @Retro365 | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
A short play of O'Riley's Mine, released for the Atari 8-bit line of computers in 1983 by Datasoft.
At first glimpse, O'Riley's Mine could look like a rip-off of Namco's popular 1982 arcade digger, Dig Dug as the digging concept quickly became exhausted by contemporary programmers all trying their luck with the concept. While the inspiration is obvious, programmer Mark Riley, which lent his name to the small digging hero and the game's title put his own interesting twist on it, added with a bit of Boulderdash flair.
