possibly the most addictive flash game ever.

Damn, one thing I hate about tabbed browsing... when I close the window and forget I had something important (this game after 30 mins without saving) in another tab

WTF is the point of this game? You shuttle pointlessly back and forth between the fuel station and a bit of underground stuff which you can't get at, before you go a bit too far and die.

:confused:

Pete_m · 21 Sep 2006 at 02:45

how do you get past the 'gas pockets' ? because you can't see them and you explode when you hit them? :confused:

Buy more fuel. Buy more space for fuel. Buy upgrades. Keep going down. There isn't anything you can't get at

Motherload is indeed the best flash game ever. I've killed many a day at work playing it over the past few years

There is also an ending to the game, so it's not play till you die

When will this end come!! I have been playing this since this thread was first posted, and I have spent $500,000 on every upgrade there is, now what? :confused:

You have to drill to about 7.000ft and all shall be revealed.

Stock up on the repair thingies, and you'll need a lot of C4 and repair thingies when you get to the end (easily 100+ to be on the safe side).
