3 SIMULATION<br />
GAMES ABOUT<br />
MINING<br />
WORTH A TRY<br />
Mining is known to be a<br />
dangerous and dirty work,<br />
usually involving long shifts.<br />
Some people might be<br />
interested in exploring this<br />
world regardless of that, but<br />
it can be unsafe because of<br />
the unfamiliarity of work<br />
environment. So what better<br />
way can mining be more<br />
of a personal experience?<br />
Simulation games, of course!<br />
Plunge into the underground<br />
or open-pit deposits using<br />
simulators that will give you<br />
an idea of how life is like<br />
being a miner or a mining<br />
engineer. These three games<br />
will definitely help:<br />
Underground Mining<br />
Simulator<br />
Published by Excalibur<br />
Publishing, the Underground<br />
Mining Simulator explores<br />
mining of coal, iron, salt and<br />
gold mines. In this application<br />
for PC, one can experience<br />
mining through explosives,<br />
drilling equipment, and face<br />
tunnelling machine.<br />
Mining and Tunneling<br />
Simulator<br />
Also available on PC, the<br />
Mining and Tunneling<br />
Simulator focuses on blasting<br />
rocks and drill tunnels. You are<br />
going to excavate materials<br />
through a shovel dozer, with<br />
other operations involving<br />
cranes and trains. You also<br />
have to steer all vehicles like<br />
the maintenance van, crane,<br />
tunnel drilling machine or the<br />
fire brigade. This is made by<br />
Libredia.<br />
Surface Mining<br />
Simulator<br />
This PC application embarks<br />
you on tasks involving mining<br />
on the surface of minerals like<br />
coal, turf, gravel, sand and<br />
rocks using wheel loaders,<br />
bulldozers, crushing machines<br />
and conveyors. You are allowed<br />
to create, edit and exchange<br />
machines, if you like; but the<br />
greatest takeaway of this<br />
Ingress simulator game is you<br />
will feel like you’re running<br />
your own mining business.<br />
