[@thewhyzer]

Wow, I really don't remember ever hearing of this game before!

[@AnyUserNo2]

liked this game sooo much back in the day. thx for the video and the nostalgia trip. love how much dedication you put into these videos.

It's likely he had e-mail but not an actual website, as in 1992 I believe only a few universities had ones for testing purposes.

[@RetroAmateur1989]

yup, played this as a kid. I only stumbled upon it quite some time ago on house of the underdogs.

[@Shaarni]

My dad is created this game my name is Aarni Karjala

[@Pixelmusement]

+Shaarni Hope you're both doing well! :)

I'm working on a game that is actually very similar in many ways to this game. I've never seen a game like it before, and I'm super happy to see this game because it can give me a lot of ideas for my game! Also noticed that this is Star Mines 2, does that mean there is another game before this one?

[@katelikesrectangles]

many fond memories of this, i've been trying to find what it was called!

[@MarkTheMorose]

Looks like a fun game, thanks for highlighting it. Now downloaded both SM2 and SM1, described as 'like Omega Race'.

[@spacepirateivynova]

+MarkTheMorose This is one of the concepts that gave me ideas for the game we are working on now: Critical Domain.

[@AlobarMusic]

Loved that game back then. It had everything a good game needs.. but i only played the shareware-version of it. Have to play it again some time.

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

This looks just like an MS-DOS game we used to play back in the 90s, but I can't remember if it was this or something else...

[@Pixelmusement]

+Cyberbrickmaster1986 The graphics are kinda similar to TechnoVenture, which I have indeed covered on ADG: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ammXnH2wg66Gfqs

[@Heikkopeikko1989]

He made a sequel to this few years ago. :)

I love the emergent bug of the emulator and game tricking each other into running at the wrong speed in a weird feedback loop.

[@zzador]

Loved that game back then. Didn't know there was a brake-button. 30minutes of training and you don't need any brake-button. If you played it with the brake button I might see you as a cheater :)

[@BIGZIPZ]

If you hold down the C, H, E, A, T keyboard keys at the same time it skips to the next level!

[@spacepirateivynova]

let's see, 16 turn frames, 1 per frame tick, 20 ticks per second. 16/20 -> 8/10 -> 4/5ths of a second.

[@Pixelmusement]

+ReddmanDGZ Basically, too fast. :P

[@spacepirateivynova]

yep, lol.

[@nickygameshow]

I have been trying to find this game ❤😊 never played the first one

[@Pixelmusement]

The first one is barely much of anything and almost plays nothing like this one. :B

[@hanselmanryanjames]

This game reminds me of Bosconian

[@EdmondDantes224]

So ummm... was there ever a Starmines 1?

[@Pixelmusement]

Yes, and I have tried it... It's incredibly basic; Too basic to talk about for more than a minute. :P
