Minecart Games

The minecart is hundreds of years old and was used to transport minerals and men during the old mining days of the wild west. They were often attached to a narrow gauge locomotive and were able to bring mined products such as coal to the surface but also rocks that had been dug out as they men dug deeper into the mine. In this minecart game you're deep underground in an old wild west mine in California and your minecart's brakes have failed. You somehow need to steer it along the tracks without crashing and escape the mine. We would say its all good clean fun but many died in the old western minutes whilst many more suffered disabilities and thousands contracted tuberculosis at ten times the national average. Despite the dangers, many were keen to make their fortunes down the mines and many did at such places as Sutter’s Mill, Cripple Creek and Alder Gulch. In this game try to guide your cart along the tracks to safety in an old wild west mine as it hurtles out of control deep underground.
