Oil's Well

Description:

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

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 !.
