Play Online Motherload
XGen Studios released Motherload in 2004. The player controls a mining pod digging into the planet’s crust to gather gems and metals. Each dive burns fuel and damages the hull. You watch both meters and steer clear of rock falls and traps. You return to the surface. You sell your haul. Then you buy new drills and tougher plating.
Depths grow more dangerous with each trip. You weigh choices on upgrades. Tank sizes rise. Drill heads spin faster. Hull plating gets stronger. Better gear helps push the pod deeper. Rare ores and old relics lie in the deepest shafts. They bring much higher payouts.
Motherload won praise from fans and reviewers. Its mix of careful moves and sudden finds grips players. That success led to a sequel. Super Motherload arrived with sharper graphics and fresh underground goals.
