Minigun Miner

Minigun Miner is a unique digging game for the Atari 2600 (VCS) home console.

Using a minigun, dig holes to collect buried treasures (coins, diamonds, rubies, etc.). But be careful to never touch the ground, or you'll explode! Thankfully, each time you fire your minigun, the recoil will send you flying in the air.
