Description:
You're rich. . . maybe.
Geologists have just located one of the largest oil deposits in North

But you have to get it out of the ground before you can spend it.
The other oil barons are jealous, and they would do anything to sabotage
your operation.
They have planted oozies and land mines in your oil fields to wreck your
drilling equipment.
Don't let them cheat you out of your millions !.
