Yes it's boring, and yes, it takes forever. It's called 'idle' cuz you turn it on and leave it running, and then come back and buy stuff every so often.
This game should have a high score/leader board so those of us who have no life can have our names advertised for all to see.
Stats:
Days up so far: since it was submitted. Still up. (2.5 days/61 hours, incl some computer 'sleep' mode time)

Scenery: Actually, a variety of scenery would be nice; randomly chosen when the mine's bought.
Options: A quality selector (H, M, L) would be nice.
