"Mines" lets you explore mines. The mine you explore is determined by a mine number specified at the beginning of a game.

The object of a game is to visit all of the rooms and return all of the treasures to the entrance without making too many moves.

In a mine, the passages are straight.  So, for example, if you go North to leave a room, you can go South to reenter it.  The rooms are not evenly spaced.  However, the distance between adjacent rooms is always a multiple of the minimum distance between adjacent rooms.

Commands in the game are "N", "E", "S", "W", "U", and "D" to move North, East, South, West, Up, or Down, respectively.  Other commands are "C" to carry things, "I" to inventory what you are carrying, "L" to leave treasures, "P" to get the points you've scored, "O" for help getting out of the mine, "F" to switch fonts, "H" for help, and "Q" to quit.  The game has been written so you don't have to press the SHIFT key before typing a letter.
