Minefield
地雷区
Minefield is an action arcade game released by Stern Electronics in 1983. The player controls a small character navigating through maze-like levels filled with mines and obstacles. The objective is to clear pathways and avoid detonating the explosives scattered throughout each stage. The game features joystick controls for movement in multiple directions. Gameplay progresses through increasingly challenging levels with more complex mine placements and tighter spaces. Players must use strategy to chart safe routes while managing limited time and avoiding enemy patterns that patrol the minefield.
