Gold Miner Joe Gold Miner Joe is a platform game in which you play as Joe, exploring the "legendary four-shafted gold mine". Each shaft contains 12 stages. Complete all the stages to unlock the next shaft.

The goal for each level is to find all the gold nuggets and then go to the exit to continue to the next stage. The stages are filled with various enemies that you need to avoid or take out using your unlimited amount of rocks to throw at them. You also have a limited set of bombs that you can use to either kill enemies, or, if you find a crack in the ground, blow up a hole and find hidden bonus gems for bonus points. Besides normal stages there are also bonus stages that are filled with gold and other valuables for your to collect and increase your score. [source:mobygames]
