I always liked games where you could dig for loot and treasure, so I'm trying to find games that are like that. For instance, I just picked up Bejeweled 3 and it has a game mode called Diamond Mine that is pretty fun. I suppose Minecraft would be something to check out, but you really aren't mining for riches or gold, but harvesting to build.

Is there anything else out there that puts an emphasis on mining?

Given that the game has gold and diamonds, yeah, you could totally spend all your time mining for it.

Dunno if there's a PC equivalent, but the 360's XBLA had a little $1 game called Miner Dig Deep that was sort of up your alley. Mine for minerals, buy stuff to upgrade your miner, and that's about all there is to it. http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Miner-Dig-Deep/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258550182

Dungeon Keeper/2 has mining, great game. You can build you own network of dungeons and rooms.

Motherload (flash game) is addictive mining fun too.

MOTHERLOAD! :D

I played the crap out of that game in middle school. Never got all the way to the bottom (didn't have Gold version), but probably spent around 30-40 hours. Considering I could only play for like 20 minutes on some days since I had no internet at home...yeah, I was kind of obsessed.

It's pretty simplistic by today's standards, and kinda ugly, but still really fun.
