"The Mines" is designed to run almost full screen with relatively moderate computer hardware

It was designed, and runs happily, on a 533MHz Celeron processor, 64Mb RAM and a 4Mb video card at a screen resolution of 1024x768. Frame rates vary from 10 to 20+fps with this system.

The game will run at a screen resolution of 800x600 if you require a little more speed.

The important requirement is to have DirectX or OpenGL installed in video hardware.

The game includes sound effects and music, so a sound card is essential to fully appreciate the game.
