“Blast rocks, drill tunnels and force your way through every mountain. At the beginning you have enough time and no major problems. Once the TNT charges are placed you can start the blasting to create the tunnel entrance. The excavated material will be loaded by a shovel dozer on a dump truck and transported to the storage site.
As soon as the entrance is cleaned up the huge tunnel drilling machine will march up. But this monster can only start operation if it is supplied with sufficient building material. This has to be delivered by crane and train. You have to steer all vehicles like the maintenance van, crane, tunnel drilling machine or the fire brigade.” ~ Steam
3D graphics play a part in the scenery as does the weather effects and day/night shifts when working. Mining & Tunneling is only available on Windows XP/ Vista/ 7 and 8. Based on mixed Steam user reviews this game is extremely repetitive yet calming. If your looking for a chance to use construction equipment and blast TNT to create tunnels then Mining & Tunneling Simulator is for you!
