I played this game back in the day on an Atari 800XL. And played it. And played it.

It probably took me over 100 tries to beat the whole game but it was impossible to stop trying! I think this game alone justified the purchase of an Atari computer... it's just a shame I was too poor back then and had to camp out at my friend's house to play these games.

It was everything a good platform game should be. VERY hard, lots of cool stages, and just a hint of randomness - come on extra life!!

you are right, it was very very good platform game...

Got this game for my 800 the first day it came out and even visited the programers who lived in my city. Still one of my all time favs.

Je ne sais pas pour vous mais moi, quand ça fait 100 fois que j'entend la même musique aux 10 secs, un moment donné, je crois que j'aurais fermé le son

I still have this on disk, whether it still works though is anyone's guess. Used to play it hours but I never managed to finish. Shame the lazy programmer didn't even bother to change the default colour registers.

I had this game; it was so frustrating that these long play games like this, Pitfall and others had no save feature. I never had the time, and unfortunately not the skill to win this game. Good job! I still have my Atari 800 and 7600!

@dciguy01 the one on the nes is a port of the atari version

[dciguy01]

This was an ATARI game? I knew it was on NES, but ATARI? I think this game works much MUCH better on ATARI...

Oh yes. I remember how happy I was when i finally finished this game and saw those ending. It was very difficult to finish because there was no possibility of saving the game in Spelunker. Thank you for posting this.

Btw the intro screen of Spelunker had a very nice music based on Promenade by Modest Mussorgsky. If you could made a clip with it I would be very grateful.

I had this game on my C64. I really wanted to like it more, but the collision detection, at least in that version, was just too sensitive. The little guy would die all the time for no good reason.
