Does someone remember a windows 3.1 game where there where miners competing which
team gets to their own team colored elevator? The game had a blue team and a red team. The game was a turn based game and everytime your team characters got to rock obstacles they stopped moving and
Then it was the AI's turn to move. On the bottom / top of the screen there where arrows that you had to click with your mouse to move your characters up or down to form paths of the random rocks that was scattered randomly around the screen.

The idea was to form a path to the other side of the screen and wait for the elevator to arrive to your team characters. When the counter got to zero and you did not have anymore of your players on the screen you won the game. When the characters where idling an animation was randomly played for each character. They where mining the rocks for a second and then stopped doing it.

I remember that the game
came with an old Sound Blaster sound card. If anybody remembers the title name for this game I would be happy to play this game again for nostalgia reasons.

oh and all the characters had safety helmets on and overalls. The cloth / helmet colors where represented for each team as red and blue.

When the mining animation was played, they used some industrial drills
