Flash Game: Gold Miner Vegas

 

I am glad that we had to review a flash game this time. I don’t normally take the time to do much "mind veg" and play games especially ones that are on the computer or the internet. I usually just get on the internet and face book or do homework. So this was a nice change of pace.

 

Gold Miner Vegas is a game where you are an old man in a mine cart and for the free trial version which I played for a while before I decided to download the game you are in Australia. You have a claw that, that is moving in a pendulum motion and  with your down arrow you lower it  to try and pick up the gold pieces to get them into your cart. On the website www.girlsgame123.com the description that is given for the game is, "Gold Miner Vegas takes our bearded friend to the modern-day mother lode! Can you get all the way to golden Las Vegas? With new levels, challenges and gadgets the action is bigger, brighter and more enjoyable than ever before. Gold Miner Vegas is family-friendly and fun for all ages. Mine this entertaining game today!

You're a gold miner and it's your job to mine as much gold and come out with the most amount of money you can. Each level you have a different goal (a money goal) that you need to reach. IN the first level, you are on a sixty second timer. So you are in a race against the clock to get gather as much gold chunks as you can. The gold chunks are worth a different amount depending on how big they are. The smallest is worth fifty dollars, the medium is worth one hundred dollars and the biggest is worth five hundred dollars. As well there are chunks of coal that are scatters and if you accidently pick on of them us you press the up arrow key and it shoots down a stick of dynamite "BOOM" to blow the coal up so you don’t waste your time trying to crank it up! There are also small plates of food that you want to pick up they are worth fifteen dollars. The little bags that have a "9" on them are surprises, they may be worth money and they may have something useful in them like a "laser claw scope"

 

Once you meet your goal for the first level you move onto the next level but, it is not without stopping at the store with the "creepy" mustached man who wants to sell you some gold mining equipment. You can purchase oil to make you move faster down the track, tandem rope for long reaching objects, dynamite for the higher levels that have coal walls that you need to get through and that helps you move faster. There are other things like a four leaf clover that give you better luck to hit something good during your mine!

 

I really like this game and would recommend it for anyone who likes a minesweeper high challenge. It is the suspense and hand eye coordination that you really need to use to continue to advance to the next levels of the game. The best part is that you are mining gold and winning money, not real, but who cares really!? When in your life are ever going to be able to go fishing for gold!
