The game runs in a DOS emulator: keyboard and mouse work like on an old PC, each game has its own layout (see the hints in the game). There are no on-screen buttons on a phone.

First click the game screen once: after that the keys go to the game, not the page. To scroll the page again, click outside the game window. If the game does not respond, click the game screen again.

The game runs from the Internet Archive site in their emulator; there are no game files on our servers. We show it so you can get to know it; the rights to the game belong to the rights holders. The built-in player has no volume control: if there is no sound or you need to adjust it, open the game page on Internet Archive, which has sound and full-screen buttons.

Description

To humans of the far future, the forgotten planet Earth is nothing but an old tale. That is, until a lucky explorer stumbles into the lost blue sphere... but will signs of ancient habitation be found? It's time to break out your three trusty Archeodroids - excavation robots programmed to retrieve archeological evidence.

Their job? - to poke around in Earth's garbage, and retrieve the debris that holds the key to mankind's past: human skeletons, car debris and piles o' junk. Points are earned by bringing dug-up artifacts to the ship; each droid is equipped with ten power charges, allowing it to move and blast through the dirt. Trouble is, a chargeless droid will quickly self-destruct unless it recharges back at the ship - plus, cave-ins may block up the tunnels and even destroy the poor droid. A deceased droid's remains (and its collected artifacts) can be picked up by its successor. Your objective is to plan your excavations carefully, avoid getting trapped, and receive the maximum score for your findings. Game published in Home Computer Magazine Vol. 5 No. 4.
