There was a time when mines and minecarts dominated video games. If a platformer or RPG didnât have a mine stage or a mine-themed dungeon, it wasnât a game. We felt like minesâwhere actual mining was eschewed in favor of racing around on minecartsâwere the most natural things in the world, just as common as forests.
Oh. You want to go from Town A to Town B? No problem at all, but the only way to do that is by crossing that giant abandoned mine complex in four minutes.
