Stand at the top of the screen with a pendulum claw, timing your drops to snag gold nuggets, diamonds, and the occasional rock or bag of dynamite. Each level sets a cash target, so weigh which targets are worth the time — heavier loot is slower to haul up.

About Gold Miner Classic

Gold Miner Classic dusts off the iconic claw-swinging mining game and brings it back to the browser in faithful form. You stand at the top of the screen with a pendulum hook, timing your drops to snag gold nuggets, diamonds, and the occasional rock or bag of dynamite from the dirt below. Each level sets a cash target, and beating it means weighing which targets are worth the time, since heavier loot reels in slower. Shop upgrades let you spend earnings on stronger ropes, dynamite, and lucky charms. A satisfying nostalgia hit for fans of classic arcade puzzles.
