About the Game

Originally released in 1984, this classic platformer for the ZX Spectrum from British developers Gremlin Graphics saw players take on the role of a cartoon mole trying to grab enough coal from a South Yorkshire pit to warm his home over a long cold winter. Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version.

Gameplay

Avoid flying pickets, carnivorous fish, deadly hairsprays, and a host of other surreal hazards while grabbing as much coal as you can. Be sure to collect the bucket from the first screen, otherwise all the coal will be invisible!

  • Saving/loading the game at any point
  • Support for most modern game controllers
