This game is inferior to Motherlode in every way, and it came out at least 6 years later. I'll continue playing with this one, though! I like the achievements (so far) but the movement and graphics factor make me miss the play of ML. Overall, I'm thrilled that someone took the time to create a clone of Motherlode which got rid of the earthquakes. I'm particularly struck by the fact that the tunnels you have dug look exactly like the terrain obscured by the fog. Bizarrely, given the vintage of the two games, Motherlode easily wins this one - the graphics here are pretty basic. That was a feature that did NOT make Motherlode a better game. I just had to stop playing Motherlode because of the ridiculous earthquakes which essentially mean you have to start digging an entirely new tunnel. I like the smooth flying, gravity effects, and the limitation on digging upwards that requires additional strategy. I'd like to see some of the achievements included in Motherlode (and they may be included in the pay version).but both of them are incredibly addicting, and I spent 4 hours last night playing Mega Miner! Motherlode wins by a hair on my scorecard. Mega Miner didn't include any real storyline, much less gentle attempts at humor. The hotkeys in Motherlode more than make up for it. For instance, "I" opens the inventory, but doesn't close it. While the fold out map and inventory in Mega Miner is nice, the operation can be a bit confusing. Slick, polished interface: Motherlode, hands down. There may be a boss in Mega Miner, but I haven't found it yet. Some of the upgrades in Mega Miner don't seem to pay for themselves, and are priced WAY too high. Logical, efficient upgrades: Edge to Motherlode. I would like to see a true "status" on the exploration achievements, rather than just "0/1", but the bonus money helps regardless. I like that you can't see the whole screen without actually exploring it, and the sonar device helps out mid-game. There are some significant differences between them though (the paid version of Motherlode may have some of these, but not the free version): I know that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but this game seems to be an almost clone of Motherlode.
