Goldrush: Mystic Mine, Skill Game of a Different Sort

[ Thanks to Britta Wuelfing for this link. ]

"Because mine cars generally accelerate downhill, the game levels in Mystic Mine are structured as such. The optical trickery reminds one of M. C. Escher: now matter where you are in the mine, you're always going downhill, so the car never needs an uphill boost.
