A game where you buy equipment, then head beneath the town (built over an very strong layer of rock) and do mining in order to become rich and marry Mimi, the woman of your dreams. You have to earn to 20000$ and a diamond ring, as she is the owner of a brothel and wouldn't want to use her god-given talents on just one man otherwise. The game's title of course boasts that the game's VGA, but not in the traditional definition (it sacrifices color for resolution, so while you'd expect VGA games to be 320x200 256-color, this one is 640×480 16-color).
