If you Windows users were waiting patiently for a version of the game you could play, check out my final entry post. I’ve uploaded a Windows version of Mineral Miner. Just unzip and run caverngame.exe. Make sure to read the instructions first, since I didn’t get a chance to add it in-game:

For this week’s Thousander Club update:
Game Hours: 576 (previous three years) + 180.75 (current year) = 756.75 / 1000
