In order to help you, you'll have to slow down, and try to more clearly remember and explain this game ...

Commodore computers did not (cannot) run Windows 3.1. Did you play this on a Commodore computer, or a Windows computer?

What kind of graphics did the game have? You mentioned being a miner, did the game take place in a mine? What enemies, powerups, or other objects were there? Sound effects? Many colors, or just a few?

Any other details about the game might help; ex what was on the title screen, or the company that made the game.

Actually, I think there were IBM-type PC's sold under the Commodore brand in Europe by the company that bought Commodore after it's bankruptcy (it was Escom btw, a German company who wanted the brand). This would place the game somewhere after 1994, which was when Commodore went bankrupt.

So it would be entirely possible to run Windows 3.1 under a Commodore computer. Not sure how anyone should be able to figure this out if they didn't happen to know it, but anyways. =)

Other than that, I've got nothing on this one.

alright i was trying to figure this one out i think it was a windows computer some of the games that we installed on this computer were the origanal wolfenstien, as well as pipe dreams and hover.

the game was like a maze kinda and you are a miner type man who goes though this maze and at the end of every challenge of the lever wearther it be china rome or japan you have to compleate puzzles and the puzzles are the slide the block to fix the picture type puzzles>

*Going completely off-topic here*
Commodore made IBM compatibles long before it went down the drain.
8088 Commodore
They even had a P200 later, though I don't remember if it was after the bankrupt.

*On topic*

More details about the game could help.
Platform game?
Side view?
Top view?
.......

[*EDIT* Found some more 'bout Commodore IBM compatibles]
Commodore gallery
Commodore add showing a clone laptop/portable PC produced only in/for Europe and an PET/CBM 8096 Rough Translation is:
The New & the Succesful From Commodore
A new 16-Bit MS-DOS Computer for the Enterprise with Commodores high standards...
I have no date, but I expect it is from about 1986.
[EDIT²]
Could be wrong about that P200, Wiki list the Commodore 486SX-LTC as last one.
