DOS Games Discussion

So, I am looking for this game over a year now I think
It's a classic digging game, I used to play it in my old win98 pc but I just can't find it anywhere now!

It is basically like this: you control a digger (a man, not a machine) that digs over the screen (duh) searching for diamonds. You only pass the level if you gather all diamonds. You can use dynamytes or bombs for your help (dynamytes explode a little 3x3 area while bombs explode 5x5). You cannot be touched by any monster and you cannot let a rock fall down in your head. While I do remember the gamescreen (sort of) my drawing skills don't allow me to show it for you...

PS: I'm not looking for this...

...nor this...
http://www....... snipped, not allowed, read the rules .....jpg
...though they both look like the game.

Please help me

The gems look like this

only green... and there is no ground in the tile where the gems are at...


Plus, when you place the dynamyte, it takes around 2s for it to detonate, while the bomb takes around 5s. This is all the info I can tell.

It sounds kinda like VGA Miner, or some variation of the game?

Umm.... they all sorta do actually lol
But anyway, the game does not have text or anything at all basically.. it's all about mining
The screen have only the grounnd tiles, rocks, gems, some monsters (wich I don't really remember how they were like) and the miner

One of these?

Rocks & Diamonds:




Diamond Caves II:




If not, have a look at this site under "Freeware Clones" or "Commercial Clones":
