Looking for a "Digging" game...

Post by badlife »

***Note: I played only the demo!

I'm looking for a game where you get a castle and a few creatures / people (I don't remember what they are) and you can give them orders such as "Mine in this direction", "Pick this up", "Push it" etc etc

I remember playing the 3rd version of it... It had orange text in the title screen and lots of people / creatures in the picture... There is someone in a hot air balloon and some were shooting stones or something...

It's a nice game... Looks like Diggers or Diggers 2: Extractors...
Its a Dos game
If I'm not wrong it has 3 words in its title.


Games that are not what im looking for (But may look like):
Diggers
Diggers: Extractors (Diggers 2)
Dungeon Master
Dungeon Master 2: The Legend of the Skullkeep
Dungeon Keeper
Dungeon Keeper 2
Troddlers
Lemmings

I dont have any clue how the game called...
Well... i was about 6yr old when i was playing it...

I remember there was times i played agenst an A.I. and there was times i was playing by miself...

I remember there was trees, lightnings (That could set trees on fire) and Rain (That could flud youre tunnels)...

In the blocked functions you could enable krokodails to swim in the water...

That was a 2D game... Side view...

In most times i was starting in the right side of the map...

I could go into a really detaild description of the game... but it well take me hours to write it... lets just say that i remeber you could choose some stuff before you start the game... (Exept youre teams color changing i dident seen\remember any other changes...)

Thx for Wally*Won_Kenobie for fixing my spelling and making it alittel more readable...
